The electronically delivered training book includes exercises as follows:
The bonus exercises are variations of the individual exercises.
The training book does not include instructions on how to practice individual skills. Instead, it offers the handler the opportunity to review the dog's existing skills and identify what skills are needed in different exercises.
Each exercise includes a list of necessary obstacles, a mention of the minimum space required, a picture of the obstacle setup, a brief instruction on how to perform the exercise, and a possible bonus exercise. Many exercises can be carried out in smaller spaces (8-10m x 10-18m).
Obstacles which are used in the exercises are hoops, tunnels, barrels and gates. If you do not have all of them available, you can substitute a gate with a barrel and a tunnel with a hoop. Please note that in this book mentioned distances between obstacles and between the dog and the handler can be modified to rules of your country.
