Yup Alaskayorkie's right. You just teach each obstacle at a time then string them all together. Then you work on being able to do it from further away from the dog.

A good sit, and wait are the best foundations. And getting your dog to run alongside you off leash is another good place to start.

It's taken me two years to get this far! Not that I'm a training nut but I try to do a little bit a couple of times a week. I've learnt so much about Dixie and Dougal's different personalities through training. I totally recommend it for everyone - it's addictive!
