Send your dog out to a ball (with or without a target mat) and have them sit, lie down, and do at least one trick like spin, roll over or sit pretty with paws in the air, etc. Dog may push the ball to you on cue only after the trick(s) is complete. Pre-Novice = 15 - 20 feet, Novice = 20 - 25', Intermediate = 30 - 35', Advanced 35 - 45', Masters 45 - 50'. Submit one video of 2 minutes or less. Ready? Go!
Challenge #2: The Compass Game
Place four mats, targets or balls in a North, South, East and West pattern with you in the center of the compass. Place them as far away as your dog is confident going to them. Direct your dog from North to East, then to South and West with a 3 second pause at each ball. The dog must stay outside the balls. For an additional challenge send your dog around the other direction or add more distance.
Challenge #3 Far Out
Put three target mats or 3 balls in a row and send your dog out to them progressively further. For beginners like Brisco, you can walk up to the target to send to the next one. For more advanced dogs you would stand in one spot, for even more advanced dogs you would stand further from the first mat and stay in position.
