To complete Sirius K9 Academy’s Intermediate Obedience level (and receive a

voice command and hand signal (no corrections are allowed - verbal or with the
leash). Treats & toys are permitted as a reward AFTER completion of ALL the
exercises (not during.) Treat aprons can not be worn during the test and no toys
are allowed on the handler during the test. The 5' - 6' leash must remain loose
the entire time. During the heeling part of the exam, the end of the leash will
be in your pocket or over your shoulder (you can not hold the leash). Only a
nylon or leather collar will be permitted (no training collars.)
