Competitive Obedience is a dog sport that tests a dog's ability to follow commands and perform specific tasks with precision. Handlers guide their dogs through a series of exercises, including heeling, retrieving, and staying in place. Points are awarded based on accuracy, speed, and the dog's overall performance. Competitions are typically held in various classes, ranging from beginner to advanced levels. Judges evaluate each team, consisting of a dog and its handler, on their execution of commands and teamwork. Successful teams can earn titles and recognition, showcasing their training and bond in the sport of dog obedience.
