At Level 2: prep work is begun for the contact obstacles - teeter, dog walk and A-frame. The nose touch targeting behaviour initiated in level 1 is systematically transferred to the dog walk, and A-frame and different elements of the teeter totter performance are introduced. As the class progresses, the dogs and handlers will be moving about the room from station to station to allow maximum training time for each team. Dog/handler teams will start to build short sequences of tunnels and jumps, helping them learn more about how to navigate a course together. For this level the dogs need to have good attention to the handler in order to succeed as the dogs will be working on the floor at the same time spread about the arena. At Level 3 :This program is suited to dog and handler teams that are able to successfully run sequences of 12 - 18 obstacles. Course sequences will be at the starter and advanced level and may include all obstacles. Weaves and teeter may be modified to accommodate dogs still needing to complete their training on these obstacles.
