1. Consult the Progress checkpoint | Beginner, does your dog meet all the criteria for the intermediate level exercises?

  2. Is your dog able to, consistently, complete your intended goal of Intermediate level exercises in one session?

  • Keep in mind that we do not necessarily transfer the intended goals from beginner level to intermediate level. The introduction of multiple reps and/or poles constitute an increase in difficulty. As we increase difficulty in one aspect (i.e., the number of reps/poles), we decrease the difficulty in other aspects (i.e., the number of sets/reps)

  • For example, your dog was able to complete 2 sets of 10 reps (a total of 20 reps) in Ex 2.3 (Beginner level). Your goal for Ex 2.5 (Advanced level) may be to complete 2 sets of 6 reps (a total of 12 reps).
