Plan Rally Obedience courses, to VDH and FCI rules.

Place signs from the catalogue on a field to scale, the running path follows, and the check knows levels B to S in both editions plus the FCI regulations 2024. The finished plan goes up at the ring as a PDF, for trials just as much as for Tuesday night training.

Free while the beta lasts. No payment details needed.

Example Rally Obedience course, level B: 15 exercise signs on a 30 by 20 metre field. The running path starts top right, runs down the right edge, across the middle to the left, up a little, down the left edge and to the finish at the bottom; straight stretches and right angles only.

How a course comes together

Five steps from an empty field to the posted plan. The plan beside the text is real: drawn by the same building blocks as in the planner.

  1. Step 1 of 5

    Place the signs, the path comes along

    Signs go from the catalogue onto the field: VDH levels B to S in both editions, up to 2026 and from 2027, plus the FCI, each with its wording and reference. With every sign the running path grows, straight stretches and sharp corners, distances from corner to corner. Nothing to draw, no button to press, and move a sign and the path follows at once.

    B-020 Single slalom

    Vier Pylonen werden in einem Abstand von 1,50 m auf einer gedachten Geraden aufgestellt. Das Übungsschild wird in der Nähe der ersten Pylone aufgestellt. Der Eingang in den Slalom befindet sich zwischen der ersten und der zweiten Pylone, wobei sich die erste Pylone zur Linken des Teams befindet. Hund und HF gehen rechts vom Schild gemeinsam im Slalom um die Pylonen. In welche Richtung sich das Team aus dem Slalom heraus bewegt, hängt von der Position des nächsten Schildes ab. Das Team bleibt in Bewegung.

  2. Step 2 of 5

    Check it before it goes on the field

    The check knows levels, required exercises, pace rules and additional signs. In this plan, station 12 has “Normal pace” instead of “Halt – Down”. The pace was never changed before it, so the sign changes nothing.

    Violation

    Sign "B-017" changes nothing: normal pace already applies here.

Questions about Rally Obedience

Which levels and regulations does the planner know?

Rally Obedience under the VDH in 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. You choose the edition together with the level when you create a course.

Do I have to draw the running path myself?

No. The path comes from start, signs and finish: straight stretches, sharp corners, about-turns and figures like the weave or the figure eight. Move a sign and the path follows. Distances run from corner to corner along the path.

Does the planner count the signs?

Yes. The editor shows how many signs are placed and how many the level asks for, such as “7 of 22–24”. The check also looks at required exercises, pace rules and additional signs.

Does the printout look the way I am used to?

The plan goes out as PDF or PNG on A4 landscape, laid out like the VDH or FCI template, with or without distances. The sign list comes along as text.

There’s even Agility and Hoopers here

One account, several sports: the same planner, the same way of checking, the same printout. With the club plan you plan together, in folders that belong to everyone.
