Pink Pass Criteria
- Exercises to be performed without lure. Variable rewarding continues to be encouraged.
- Short heeling pattern on a loose leash including all turns, sits, stands, and downs. The heeling should be of sufficient standard to demonstrate handler & dog are working solidly towards off-lead work. Turns should be acute (90o or 180o). Sits, stands, and downs should be performed with near correct position.
- Stand stay on lead – 20 seconds with return.
- Formal recall on lead – dog will sit and wait, sit in front position, and hold for handler return.
- 30 second group sit stay on lead.
- 1 minute group down stay on lead.
- Handler needs to show a clear understanding of how to get their dog to perform these exercises – including being aware of position, commands (voice, hands, feet/body), and appropriate rewarding.
