Obedience
Competition obedience is the dog sport where dog and handler show a set of exercises to a judge: heelwork, recall, retrieve, send to a square, distance control and more. Each exercise is judged on its own, and precision and teamwork are what count — from the starter class up to class 3, where the bar is highest.
How it works
- You compete in one class at a time and perform every exercise in it, in the order the judge sets.
- Each exercise is scored 0–10 in half points, and the score is multiplied by the exercise’s coefficient.
- The sum is the total for the trial — at most 200 in the starter class and 320 in classes 1–3.
Hundsporter keeps your obedience training diary: pick the exercises you worked on — from any class — and grade how each went, 1–5. Choose mock-trial mode to run a whole class and get a total as at a real trial. Obedience competitions are not run in the app yet.

The coefficient sets how much an exercise weighs: an exercise with coefficient 4 scored 8.5 adds 34 points to the total.
