I have no clue how you session a dog in obedience.

Dog for obedience have more session requirement than for conformation.

At bottom of dog page, just above pedigree, is section that says Work.

Work has several option like HoL, Figure Eight, Heel, Free Recall, Long Sit, Long Down and other.

Dog need 20 in all those for a UD title.

There 3 levels, novice, open and utility. Novice need 20 in HoL, Figure Eight, Heel Free, Recall, Long Sit, Long Down and show obedience.

Open need 20 in Drop on Recall, Ret on Flat, Ret over High Jump and Broad Jump.

Utility need 20 in Signal Exer., Scent Discrimination, Directed Retrieve, Mov Stand for Exam, Directed Jumping.

That must take forever to do!

It can. I am session a poodle puppy now. I have bid on 10 extra daily session, plus my basic account five. So she is getting 3 into her conformation Train/Exercise/Groom and the remaining 12 go into her obedience. Daily.

I start session her at birth, and she is 15 day old now with full 20 in HoL, Figure Eight, Heel Free, Recall, Long Sit, Long Down, Drop on Recall, Ret on Flat, Ret over High Jump, Broad Jump and Mov Stand for Exam.

She is 14 in her Signal Exer.

Still need session in Scent Discrimination, Directed Retrieve and Directed Jumping.

Depend on breed, some session fast. Poodle session fast. Dog like Papillion or Basset Hound session slow and take long.

This poodle, in first show at age 15 days, she took 2nd out of 80 Novice dog for 79 point. Proud!
