In DVG, trials and scheduled and trial judges are assigned by the Head Judge (LRO). You request a judge through Caniva, on-line software that all of DVG uses to schedule trials. To use Caniva to schedule a trial, first you must have an account on the Working-Dog website: https://www.working-dog.com. It’s free.

Once you have an account, go to https://dvg.caniva.com and click on “ADD EVENTS.”

Follow the instructions on the site.

If you need more help, see the tutorial.
