Dog sports in Sweden
Dog sport is a good way to work your dog and get better together. This is where Swedish dog sports live — agility, nosework, rally obedience, obedience, hoopers, dog pulling, blood tracking and retrieving — with training, competitions and results in one place.
Every dog sport
Ten sports in the app today — here is what each one is about.
Agility
A fast course of jumps, tunnels and contact obstacles, run against the clock by dog and handler together.
Nosework
A scent sport: the dog searches out specific odours in containers, indoors, outdoors or on vehicles.
Rally obedience
Handler and dog walk a course of signs, each calling for an obedience exercise — teamwork over precision.
Obedience
Dog and handler perform set exercises — heelwork, recall, retrieve, distance control — each scored 0–10 and multiplied by its coefficient.
Hoopers
The dog runs through hoops and tunnels and around barrels while the handler directs from a distance — no jumping, easy on the body.
Dog pulling
The dog pulls a bike, a sled, or you on a run. Distance and time give the speed.
Blood tracking
The dog follows a laid trail, working its natural tracking instinct. In the app you record the trail by GPS.
Person tracking
Someone lays the trail on foot and the dog follows the scent on a line. The trail layer records it on their own phone and shares it with the handler.
Mantrailing
The dog smells something a person has worn and then follows that one person’s scent – through woods or town – to where they are waiting.
Retrieving
The dog is sent out alone, picks up the dummy or the game and delivers it to hand — marks, blinds and searches, all at a distance.
