What you'll cover

The twelve-week curriculum.

Each block has a written drill, a reference video, and judge-style criteria. The path branches based on what you score.

Heel work

On-leash and off-leash heeling scored on position, focus, and pace changes. The foundation of every obedience run.

Recall and retrieve

The formal recall, retrieve on flat, and retrieve over the jump. Drive-based reinforcement through every repetition.

Directed exercises

Go-outs, directed jumping, and the stand for exam. Each element judged as a separate criterion on the scoring sheet.

Competition prep

Reading the judge sheet, understanding deductions, and performing the complete sequence under trial conditions.
