in a race for both time and accurancy. The handler's controls are limited to body signals and voice requiring exceptional training
skills and a bond between the handler and the dog. The courses are created by the judge and vary depending on the
level of competition. The most common courses are: - Standard - typicially includes many
different types of obstacles including tunnels, a-frame, jumps, weaves, dog walk, teeter totter, chute, and table.
