Obedience

Precision teamwork and good sportsmanship.

Golden Retrievers are known for their affectionate, energetic nature, making them great companions for activities like obedience trials. Basic training is essential for all Goldens, whether for show, retrieving, or being well-mannered pets.

Obedience trials, organised by clubs affiliated with DOGS Queensland, offer a fun way to earn titles with your dog. Titles are awarded at various levels, with increasing difficulty. There are five levels of obedience in Australia, Community Companion Dog (CCD), Companion Dog (CD), Companion Dog Excellent (CDX), Utility Dog (UD), Utility Dog Excellent (UDX), Obedience Champion (O. CH), and Grand Champion (O. GR.CH.). These titles become more challenging as they progress.

You and your dog are a team and there to have fun, so enjoy the journey together!
