The judge tells the handler to begin, and the dog and handler proceed at their own pace through a course of designated 10-20 stations depending on the level. Each of these stations has a sign providing instructions regarding the next skill that is to be performed. Handlers are encouraged to talk to their dogs during the performance. Scoring is not as rigorous as traditional obedience.
