Hundesport-Parcourshelfer

Plan courses for several sports.

For handlers and judges alike: to scale on the field, the running path draws itself as you set up, the check knows the regulations, and the finished plan goes up at the ring as a PDF. For Rally Obedience, Hoopers and Agility, with one account for all.

The course helper with your own assistant dog. Vanja gives you ideas or sets whole courses that meet the regulations, for Rally Obedience, Hoopers and Agility alike.

Free while the beta lasts. No payment details needed.

Several sports, one planner

Each sport has its own editor, with its own library and its own regulations. Account, folders and printouts are shared.

Walk the course before you build it

The 2D walkthrough shows handler and dog on the plan: the path draws itself, figures are walked out, and length and time appear at the end. For Rally Obedience, Hoopers and Agility.

Fewer steps, more time on the field

A course is rarely the first one. The planner takes over what repeats: move whole groups at once, take your last plan as a template, print a whole folder in one go.

Easy to use, for example:

  • Replace instead of rebuild

    Drag a sign from the palette onto a placed one or press E: position, number and running path stay, only the sign changes.

    How:E

  • Everything on right-click

    Turn, replace, side of the running path, delete, and on empty ground “insert sign here”. On a tablet, press and hold.

    How:Right-click

  • Back and forward again

    One move is one step, even if the sign travelled eight metres. Went back too far? Redo brings it back.

    How:CtrlZCtrlY

  • To the centimetre

    Arrow keys nudge by 1 cm, with Shift by 10 cm. While dragging, signs snap into line with their neighbours.

    How:Arrow keyShiftArrow key

  • Share by link

    Helpers, competitors or fellow judges see the course without an account, read-only, on a phone too. You can revoke the link at any time.

    How:“Share” button in the editor

  • Every shortcut at a glance

    A question mark opens the overview of all keys and mouse moves, in both editors.

    How:?

One plan for the whole club

Rally Obedience, Hoopers and Agility in the same club, several trainers, one training ground: with the club plan you plan together, in folders that belong to everyone.

  • Invite with a link

    The club manager sends a link, by WhatsApp for instance. Whoever opens it signs in or creates an account and joins with one click.

  • Club folders for everyone

    Every member can create club folders and edit the courses in them. Each course shows who worked on it last.

  • Leaving keeps your work

    A trainer who leaves takes their courses along. The club folder keeps a copy of each that the club can go on editing.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need to install anything?

No. The Hundesport-Parcourshelfer runs in the browser, best on a computer or tablet. On a phone you can view and even edit a plan, there is just little room.

Which regulations are included?

Rally Obedience under the VDH, levels B, 1, 2, 3 and S, each in the edition up to the end of 2026 and from 2027, plus the FCI regulations 2024. Hoopers under the VDH regulations 01/2023, levels 1 to 3. Agility and Jumping under the FCI Agility Regulations and the VDH Agility rules 2026.

Does the rule check replace the judge?

No. It finds what can be worked out from the regulations: permitted signs, required exercises, distances, sequences. The regulations remain authoritative, and the judge has the final word.

Is Vanja an AI?

Not so far. Vanja searches by fixed rules for a course that fits the level and picks the best candidate. Every suggestion can be checked in the editor afterwards. We are considering giving Vanja an AI later on.

Where is my data stored?

On servers in the EU. No advertising, no tracking and no analytics cookies, only the cookies that signing in needs. You can delete your account yourself at any time.

Can I share courses with others?

Yes. Folders and single courses can be made public; other users then see them read-only and can export them.

How does our club get the club plan?

Write to us through the contact form and tell us who should manage the club. We set the club up, the manager gets the invite link and passes it on to up to four trainers. Courses still belong to whoever created them.

Your next course is drawn faster than it is set.

Create an account, pick a level, get going.

The rule check does not replace the judge’s decision. The regulations of the VDH and FCI in force at the time are authoritative.

Sign images and exercise texts are taken from the VDH and FCI regulations.

The legal texts are available in German only; the German version applies.
