Important Info from UKA

LATE ENTRIES
Please check your UKA account before you attend the show and CONTACT THE OFFICE if you believe any of the details are wrong. Show secretaries cannot edit account details. Please

- Login
- Click Dogs
- Check Date of Birth
- Check Performance AND Steeplechase level
- Check your measurement details

Reminder - Please contact the office with any anomalies so they can be investigated our end. If you believe results or measurements are missing please provide exact details. Please remember to do this as early as possible as when we are at a show ground, we cannot necessarily do this.

The new scoring system has several checks in place which previous scoring systems did not have.
These include date of birth verification and more importantly "move up" verification.

Now these checks are in place, we have found that some people had "accidentally" moved up when they did not have the required results.

Some date of births we believe people have inputted wrong when registering their dogs.

Feel free to ask any generic questions below but account specific ones again please contact the office.

MEASURING at UKA

With shows now moving out of the COVID compliant structure and the "launch" of our new scoring system for UKA shows, there will be a fundamental change to measuring in relation to your first run.

We have always tried to be flexible and reasonable at UKA and allow dogs to get measured at their first show. Previous scoring systems have allowed people to run without a measure, (in case measuring occurred after the class started at 8.30am).

Throughout British Agility there is a trust system that people do follow measuring rules but it appears, unfortunately, that many competitors have taken advantage of this and have never had their dogs measured. The new UKA system, we believe, is the only scoring system in British Agility, at any organisation, that polices measuring. We believe this is a big step forward for Agility and will prevent handlers running at the wrong height, accidentally or not.

We are hoping to continue being customer friendly by allowing people to measure on the day, however we are going to become stricter and insist that dogs are measured before they run.

We are therefore strongly recommending people gain their measure before their first show with that dog and will be encouraging weekend shows to run evening measuring sessions so dogs can be measured the day before. Shows will be asked to start measuring sessions before the rings commence BUT handlers who rely on getting a measure on the day of their first show will need to accept the risk of missing potential runs without refund.

In 2021, measuring is still free at UKA and included in your registration and we hope this will resolve the issue without the rules having to be more restrictive on time scale.

I did bring this up in our revisiting foundations talk but it is soooo important to remember especially when we return to training after a long break.

Absolutely love this! Timing is so important in training, make sure you pay the behaviours that you like!!

‘He was born with it, so there’s nothing that can be done.’

As we go into our eleventh year of delivering clinical treatments we can absolutely disagree with this statement that we hear so often.
Help us, help others to see the amazing benefits that hydrotherapy delivers for these dogs.

Hydrotherapy is not a cure, but it can help minimise the painful symptoms.

How does hydrotherapy do that?
- The non-weight bearing form of exercise takes pressure off the limbs, enabling the patient to move with out the pain that they have on land. This helps to mobilise the joints and build up muscle to support improved posture and movement.
- Building up muscle and strengthening the ligaments will help provide improved stamina and comfort for your dog on land in their day to day life.
- Hydrotherapy sessions can be tailored to your dog. Their is an assortment of exercises that we can do in water to promote improved gait and body awareness (proprioception).
- Treating the weaker limb will also be beneficial for the healthy limbs. On land its very likely your dog is compensating through another limb by shifting the weight, putting the healthy limbs under pressure and strain, potentially causing secondary issues to arise there. Many dogs will go lame in a forelimb because of a hindlimb weakness.
- The temperature of the water improves the circulation which can help reduce swelling around the joints.

Contact our team to find out how hydrotherapy can be beneficial for your dogs individual needs.

Just incase anyone needing a new tag 🙂 safe for competing. Remember no dangling tags when competing.

Good Morning I hope this post finds all my customers and followers well .
I am staying open for business as dogs still need tags.
New Puppies have arrived at their new family homes over the recent weeks and sometimes dogs lose tags on walks , Or bands have broken .
At this time of uncertainty and lockdown unfortunately it has become apparent that the mail is some what delayed.
I have no doubt that Royal Mail are working their hardest to get post and parcels to you.
This may however result in a delay in you receiving your tags .
I can only apologise for the timescale of delivery we are currently experiencing.
All orders are sent out first class but at the moment it can take a few more days to arrive with you .
Stay safe everyone 😘
Keep up the good work Royal Mail.
Small businesses like mine would not be able to do this without you . 📮📦🐶🐴🐱

New date for UKA finals hoping we will have some shows to qualify at.

Grand Finals 2020 Change of Date

The 2020 Grand Finals will now take place on 10th - 11th October 2020 at Addington Equestrian Centre (same venue).

In these unprecedented times, we have been faced with many cancellations throughout North America & the UK, as well as the World Agility Open in the Netherlands. To clarify the WAO situation, handlers from over 40 nations had qualified to compete in May to represent their country and invested large sums of non-refundable money in travel, hotels and team uniforms. Due to these factors postponing, rather than cancelling, WAO was something we have worked very hard to do.

The only viable dates offered to us, where we felt this crisis might have subsided and the teams were still able to travel before winter sets in, was the last weekend in October. Unfortunately this meant it became logistically impossible to run the Grand Finals on its scheduled date, as most of our organising team would have to leave over the GF weekend for the WAO. We are grateful to Addington for being able to offer us an alternative date but again we had very limited options.

At this stage it is obviously unknown if the crisis will be over October and if we will have any shows to have qualifiers at. We will be looking to announce further decisions on the Grand Finals and the qualifiers mid April.

We hope the majority of our customers will understand why these changes have had to be made and hope everyone can be back enjoying their agility before too long.

Stay safe.
