- Four Feet on a Small Obstacle – Dog places all four feet on an obstacle where the width and length measure less than the dog’s body length for at least 5 seconds.
- Two Feet on a Vertical Surface – Dog places two front feet on a vertical surface such as a wall and stays in position for at least 3 seconds.
- Crawl – Dog goes under a low obstacle that requires them to crawl; harness and leash not required if performed in a safe area.
- In an obstacle where all four sides measure at least the dog’s elbow height, and the width and length measure the dog’s body length or less for at least 5 seconds.
- Narrow Balance – Dog walks on an obstacle at least three body lengths long, no wider than one-half the dog’s width at the shoulders, at approximately elbow height. Dog must complete the obstacle in one attempt without stepping off.
- Long and Narrow Through – Dog must pass between two obstacles at least four body lengths long that are no wider than 1.5 times the dog’s shoulder width apart. Dog must pass completely though without hesitating or turning around; leash may be detached if in a safe area.
- Send – Dog goes directly to an obstacle of elbow height or below at least three body lengths away, puts all four feet on the obstacle, and stays for at least 3 seconds.
- Pivot (Both Directions) – Dog places two feet on an obstacle and makes a complete 360-degree pivot in each direction. This must be completed in both clockwise and counter-clockwise directions, but can be done at separate times and edited into one sequence. There is no restriction on handler movement.
- Creativity – Perform two different Barkour behaviors on a single new obstacle; may be one Intermediate and one Advanced behavior or two Advanced behaviors. Must be a noticeable transition between exercises, such as dismounting and reattempting the obstacle. Exercises with a time requirement only require a noticeable pause instead of the full 3 – 5 seconds. Must be one unedited video sequence; all spotting and assistance rules apply.
- Three Obstacle Sequence – Perform three different Advanced behaviors on three new obstacles in a row. Exercises with a time requirement only require a noticeable pause instead of the full 3 – 5 seconds. Must be one unedited video sequence; all spotting and assistance rules apply.
