  2. Two Feet On an obstacle shoulder height or higher for at least 5 seconds.
  3. In an obstacle where all four sides measure approximately the dog’s elbow height, and the width and length measure the dog’s body length or less for at least 5 seconds.
  4. Balance – Dog walks on an obstacle at least four body lengths long, no wider than the dog’s width at the shoulders, at approximately elbow height.  Dog must complete the obstacle in one attempt without stepping off.
  5. Over (Different Surfaces) – Dog jumps over an obstacle at least elbow height tall.  The surfaces on each side of the jump must be different, and the landing surface must be soft.  Leash may be detached if in a safe area.
  6. Moving Obstacle – Dog must place all four feet on an obstacle at least wrist height that moves under their weight for at least 3 seconds.
  7. Straddle – Dog places front two feet on one obstacle and back two feet on another obstacle for at least 3 seconds.  Obstacles must be the same height, at least wrist height, and placed at least one-third the dog’s body length apart.
  8. Pivot (One Direction) – Dog places two feet on an obstacle and makes a complete 360-degree pivot in either direction.  There is no restriction on handler movement.
  9. Back up on to Low Obstacle – Dog starts at least one body length away from an obstacle no higher than wrist height and backs up to stand with two hind feet on the obstacle for at least 3 seconds.
  10. Gap Jump – Dog jumps from one obstacle to another; obstacles must be the same height, at least wrist height, and at least two-thirds the dog’s body length apart.  Leash may be detached if in a safe area.
  11. Creativity – Perform two different Intermediate behaviors on a single new obstacle.  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.
  12. Three Obstacle Sequence – Perform three different Intermediate 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.
