As stated in the obedience Regulations, "The purpose of Obedience Trials is to demonstrate the usefulness of the pure-bred dog as a companion of man, not merely the dog's ability to follow specified routines in the obedience ring...The basic objective of obedience trials is to produce dogs that have been trained and conditioned always to behave in the home, in public places, and in the presence of other dogs, in a manner that will reflect credit on the sport of obedience..."
Obedience trials, being governed by the AKC, are limited to pure-bred (registered) dogs at least six months old and qualified (by training) to participate in obedience competitions at dog shows. Most dogs competing in obedience have attended numerous obedience training classes. (There are usually classes in your area.)
There are THREE LEVELS OF TRAINING. The average dog in the Novice Class has had about a year of work, and is following practical commands used in every day living---only he has been conditioned to work with his handler(master) in difficult situations. The second level is Open. Here the work is more stringent and the highest level, the Utility Class, is the one which only a small percentage of dogs ever reach.
Through the Novice Class, dogs earn the Companion Dog (C.D.)title; through the Open Class, the Companion Dog Excellent (C.D.X.) title; and through the Utility Class, theUtility Dog (U.D.)title. The team (dog and handler) compete against a top score of 200 to win AKC Obedience titles. To earn a title, a team must qualify in three trials under three different judges by receiving at least 170 points out of a possible 200, and, in each exercise must receive more than half of the available points allotted.
