Class 3




Below are just some of the things you will learn how to teach to your dog.

• Loose lead walking.
• Recall off-lead with your dog coming back to sit in front of you.
• Have your dog stay in the sit position at a distance of 3 metres from you for about 20 seconds before you return to your dog.
• Have your dog stay in the drop position at a distance of 3 metres from you for about 20 seconds before you return to your dog.
• The hand signal for getting your dog to stand and drop with you standing in front of them is also introduced.
• Left and right 90° turns with your dog at heel on a loose lead.
• Left and right about turns (180° turns) with your dog at heel on a loose lead.
• Left and right circles (360° turns) continuing forward with your dog at heel on a loose lead.
• Have your dog stand for patting and touching by the Trainer. Moving around a little is fine as long as your dog isn’t shying away from the Trainer. (Not during COVID-19 restrictions)
• Finish – your dog returns to the heel position from in front of you by circling around you.
• Agility equipment use.

To graduate –

• Recall from 3 metres.
