V15  Right About Turn 
(Turn used in schutzhund training) While moving forward with the dog in heel position, the handler does an about turn to his/her right, while the dog turns to the left, moving around behind the handler and back to “right” heel position to continue moving with the handler in the new (opposite) direction. That is, the dog and handler do opposite about turns.
V16 Finish Left
   The handler cues the dog to move from the front position to the handler’s left, around behind the handler and into right heel position and sitting.
Guidelines.  The handler may cue the dog using voice/hand signal simultaneously.  Additional cue deductions as per chart. This exercise will NOT result in a change of direction of travel for the dog and handler.  
 
Deductions: Crooked sit will have minor point deductions depending on the degree of error (1 - 2 points) (more than 45 degrees to either side of the Heel position). Failure of the handler to Sit the dog in the correct heel position, will result in NQ-IP
V16 Finish Left
   The handler cues the dog to move from the front position to the handler’s left, around behind the handler and into right heel position and sitting.
Guidelines.  The handler may cue the dog using voice/hand signal simultaneously.  Additional cue deductions as per chart. This exercise will NOT result in a change of direction of travel for the dog and handler.  
 
Deductions: Crooked sit will have minor point deductions depending on the degree of error (1 - 2 points) (more than 45 degrees to either side of the Heel position). Failure of the handler to Sit the dog in the correct heel position, will result in NQ-IP
V18 Finish Right
   The handler cues the dog to move from the front position to the handler’s right heel position, by turning toward the handler and moving into the “right heel” position and sitting. 
Guidelines.  See V16 
 Deductions: Crooked sit will have minor point deductions depending on the degree of error (1 - 2 points) (more than 45 degrees to either side of the Heel position). Failure of the handler to Sit the dog in the correct heel position, will result in NQ-IP
V19 Forward Right   
The handler cues the dog to move to the handler’s right heel position, by turning toward the handler and moving into the “right heel” position. The dog moves into the heel position without sitting at heel.
The dog must commit to the cue before the handler moves forward. Walking into the dog to force the dog to move will be considered a physical correction and result in an NQ
Guidelines.  See V16 

V20 Offset Figure 8  
 This exercise requires two bowls with tempting dog treats and two cones (pylons).  A hail screen wire cover is placed over the food bowls to 	prevent a dog that breaks heel position from being rewarded by eating the treats. The four objects are arranged in a diamond pattern   the two end cones  are 10 feet (3.05 m) apart;  food bowls are 2.5 feet (0.76 m) from the centre line.  Allowances can be made in the distance apart of the two food bowls for large breeds The team enters the Figure 8 as indicated by the placement of the exercise sign, turns either to the left or the right following the path indicated on the course map, proceeds toward the end pylon in that direction, loops that pylon and completes the Figure 8 around the other end pylon and exits the 	Figure 8 as indicated by the placement of the next exercise station. There are no halts in this exercise. 
V21 HALT Turn Left 1 Step HALT 
 With the dog sitting at heel, the handler cues the dog to heel as she/he turns to the left (in place), while taking  one step in  that direction with either the right or left foot, “closing” with the other foot, then halts.  OR HALT turn left then take one step with the right or left foot and closing with the other foot. The dog moves with the handler while maintaining heel position. When the handler halts after taking the one step, the dog must sit. 
Deductions: Failure of the dog to sit at either halt will result in NQ-IP.
Failure of the dog to move with the handler during the turn will result in NQ-IP  
V22  Spread Jump 
The obstacle must have a minimum height of 2 inches (.05m) and a maximum height of 5 inches (.13m) Uprights are not permitted.
The obstacle may be composed of telescoping hurdles, such as those used in CKC obedience hurdles; it will require as many hurdles as are necessary to provide the appropriate spread distance.  It may also be of solid construction, i.e. 4 solid spread jumps of 8, 16, 24 and 28 inches, (.2m, .4m., .6m, and .71 m) of specified height. A 10 foot (3m) line) shall be placed, on the floor (surface) in front of the jump, to mark the distance to the jump for scoring purposes. A six foot (1.8 m) line shall be placed on the floor (surface) at the left side of the jump to mark the distance for scoring purposes. It is the judge's responsibility to see that the distance jumped by each dog is in accordance with these Regulations. This station begins approximately 20 feet (6.10 m) in front of and 6 feet (1.83 m) to the left of the jump. The send position is at least 10 feet in front of and 6 feet to the left of the obstacle. When the dog has completed the jump, the handler calls the dog to heel position and the team continues to the next exercise station. If the dog is much faster than the handler, the dog may be called back to the handler. No deductions are to be made if the dog returns directly to the heel position regardless of where the handler is along the line of travel when that occurs.
   Deductions: Sending the dog from any other position will result in an NQ.  See appendix G

V23   Tunnel 
The tunnel should be approximately six (6) feet (1.8 m) in length and have a minimum diameter of 24 inches (0.6 m).  A 10 foot (3m) line) shall be 	placed, on the floor (surface) in front of the tunnel, to mark the distance to the tunnel for scoring purposes. A six foot (1.8 m) line shall be placed on the floor (surface) at the side of the tunnel to mark the distance for scoring purposes. This station begins approximately 20 feet (6.10 m) in front of and 6 feet (1.83 metres) to the left of the tunnel. The send position is at least 10 feet in front of and 6 feet to the left of the obstacle. When the dog has completed the tunnel, the handler calls the dog to heel position and the team continues to the next exercise station. If the dog is much faster than the handler, the dog may be called back to the handler. No deductions are to be made if the dog returns directly to the heel position regardless of where the handler is along the line of travel when that occurs

Deductions: Sending the dog from any other position will result in an NQ.  See appendix G
Dog Errors: No deductions are given if the dog returns directly to the heel position regardless of where the handler is along the line of travel when that occurs. In Excellent class only: (Same comment as above.)  Once the dog is sent toward the tunnel,  if the dog passes the “zero line” of the tunnel without going through, it will be considered a refusal, and result in an NQ.  
V24  Weave Poles 
 This exercise uses agility weave poles or a similar system.  The weave poles should be set eighteen (18) inches (0.45 m) to twenty four (24) inches *** (0.61 m) apart and should consist of a minimum of 6 poles.  Poles should be between three (3) feet (0.9m) and four (4) feet (1.2 m) in length (height). The exercise begins with the handler heeling towards the weave poles. The handler cues the dog to enter the weave poles. Entry into the weaving pattern is between the first and second poles with the first pole on the dog’s left.  Handler may cue the dog throughout the weave pattern using voice or hand signals without incurring deductions.   For this station to be considered complete, the dog must weave through all the poles.

*** NOTE Effective July 1st 2011 Weave poles must be set 24” apart.
 
Deductions: No deductions for voice or hand cues when the dog is in the poles. If the dog pops out of the poles before completion, it may be cued to continue at the point with additional cue deductions.  If the dog does not enter the poles correctly it is an NQ.
Handler Errors: See Appendix G
