You will line up with your dog in the Heel Position opposite the judge and about 3' from the center of the two cones which are spaced 6-8' apart. The judge will ask, "Are you ready?" Be sure to get your dog's attention before responding.
You can go in either direction but I have usually chosen to do the inside loop first to help keep the dog under control.
The dog should slow down to stay in proper heel position as you round the cone with the dog on the inside.
In Beginner Novice you are allowed to give ONE encouraging comment during the Figure 8 exercise such as "Good Girl!", "Yes!", "Super" or "Nice Job!"
The dog should speed up to keep in step with you as you round the cone with the dog on the outside.
At each sign you simply perform the task listed. Unlike Rally you cannot talk to your dog during an exercise, other than giving the initial command to heel--with the exception of a single encouraging phrase during the heeling pattern (ie. "Good Girl!", "Nice!", "Yes!", "Atta Boy!", etc.)
The End!
