On a step-by-step progression, dogs learn scent discrimination. They are taught to identify and retrieve a leather and a metal article from a mixed group of five each.  Dogs are also taught signal exercises to heel, stand-stay, drop, sit and come, all from a distance and finish. All exercises are off leash.

There is a directed retrieve of one glove out of three at a signal from the handler.  A moving stand so a stranger can excuse him/her.  Directed jumping with a send out of a signals dog to jump over a bar jump and/or high jump.
