Obedience competitions are events where dogs and their handlers demonstrate specific skills and commands. These competitions test a dog's ability to follow commands such as sit, stay, heel, and come. Handlers guide their dogs through a series of exercises, showcasing the bond and communication between them. Judges evaluate the performance based on accuracy, precision, and the dog's overall behavior. Points are awarded for each exercise, and the team with the highest score wins. Obedience competitions are popular in various dog training organizations, including the American Kennel Club and the United Kennel Club, promoting responsible pet ownership and training.
