- an obedience app for heelwork
It makes your phone into a steward that directs you in heelwork. This is a perfect way to prepare you and your dog for obedience trial, or just take your training to a new level.
Choose program (Class 1 is chosen here), set the times for countdown to start and between commands, and pick a steward. Then press "Listen". Game is on!
The phone puts together unique programs every time according to FCI-rules for obedience, ie international rules. No matter what language the steward speaks, the rules are the same. The programs can be customized by pressing the “pen”-button when the Class 1-3 is chosen. For each class fast pace, steps etc can be excluded, and the total time can be set.
If you rather want to put together och program of your own, you can store up to six different programs. Drag and drop from a list containing the commands. This list differs slightly depending on what steward/languange is currently chosen. You can name your program and change the icon.
Class 1-3, the programs your phone puts together each time you press LISTEN och READ (on the starting screen) are based on international obedience rules, FCI. To customize, for example change the total time or exclude fast pace, have the program chosen on the starting screen and press the pen-button. Turn the switches on and off as you wish.
To make a program, first click the pen-button on the starting screen to edit the program shown at the top. If you want to edit another program click the program icon och change to another program, then hit the pen-button.
The list shown to the right contains all commands. The language depends on which steward is currently chosen. Some languages contain some more specific commands for turns. The steward is changed on the starting screen, just click on the steward to get alternatives.
Hold for a moment on the turn you want to add and drag and drop to the list on the left which is your program. There you can delete turns and move them around. Exercise begin and end are added by the phone when you press LISTEN or READ on the starting screen.
