Steps to train your dog “FCI agility rules”:

First step:Hurdle (1) Individual height: large dog group: 45-55 cm, medium dog group: 35-45 cm, small dog group: 25-35 cm. Minimum width: 1.2 meters. Hurdle can be made of poles (metal and plastic products cannot be used), panels, gates, branches, etc. The poles or boards at the top of the hurdle must be easily removable in any case. (2) Extendable Two separate jumps (as in the above article, but only for poles) are arranged together to form a team of extended jumps. The height of the rack pole can be between 15-25 cm. The highest pole is placed at the back: Large dog group: 45-55 cm, medium dog group 35-45 cm, small dog group 25-35 cm. The overall depth cannot exceed: Large Dogs: 50 cm, Medium Dogs: 40 cm, Small Dogs: 30 cm.

Step 2:Wall: Large dog group: 45-55 cm, Medium dog group: 35-45 cm, Small dog group: 25-35 cm. Minimum width: 1.2 meters. Thickness is approximately 20 cm. 1-2 clearance holes can be provided on the wall panel. The top of the wall cannot be moved. Stay platform minimum 0.9 m × 0.9 m to maximumLarge 1.2m x 1.2m. Height: Large dogs: 60 cm, Medium dogs: 35 cm, Small dogs 35 cm. The table must be stable and the surface of the table must not be smooth. An electronic timing device can be mounted on the table surface. The 10 cm inward edge of the table is not included in the calculation.

Step Three:The minimum height of the single-plank bridge is 1. 2 meters, and the maximum height is 1. 35 meters. The minimum length of the bracket is 3.6 meters, the maximum length is 4.2 meters, and the width is 30 cm. Each slope must be provided with anti-slip wooden bars at specified intervals (25 cm apart) to avoid slipping and make climbing easier, but not within 10 cm of the connecting area. These non-slip wooden strips are 20 mm wide, 5-10 mm thick, and must not have sharp edges. The 90 cm from the top of each slope must be changed to another color (the other side is treated in the same way) to serve as a reminder of the connecting areas. Seesaw The minimum length of the support is 3.65 m, the maximum length is 4.25 m, the height is 70 cm and the width is 30 cm. The highest point of the main bracket is 1/6 of the bracket length. Connection area processing: Same as the previous one. Obstacles must be stable and non-slip. However, the use of anti-slip wooden strips is not allowed. SEE — The SAW must be perfectly balanced (not tilted too fast or too slowly), and small dogs may tilt it. Check: When placing a kilogram of items on one end of the obstacle, the SEE-SAW must be tilted 3-4 degrees. If the above effects cannot be achieved, adjustments must be made.
