3. Dog Basic obedience. The process by which a dog responds to basic control commands such as sit, wait, stay, down and come. Includes basic commands for puppy training and adult dog training.

4. Dog Obedience trials. Competitive sports in which dogs must perfectly execute a predefined set of tasks. Awards (known as obedience titles) are granted by different organizations.
