Obedience

Obedience events test the training of dogs as they perform a series of exercises at the command of  their handler. There are several levels of competition, ranging from basic  commands such as "sit," "come" and "heel" to scent discrimination and directed retrieves over jumps. The classes are further divided by the experience of the  handler as well. All dogs start their competition with a perfect score of 200, and points are deducted according to the performance of dog and handler. Obedience events offer an opportunity for the handler and dog to form a special bond of trust unequaled in other events.
