"The next thing we're going to do is putting it all together. They call it sequencing. Sequencing is just putting more than one obstacle with the rest of them after they learn them. Jake, come. You want to start with two, then go to three, four and so on. So we're going to start with two obstacles. Jake, big jump! Tire. Then we're going to call him to us. This keeps a lot of focus and attention. Then we're going to take him and do three obstacles. You want to keep the attention on you at all times. This is a focused dog. Ready? Big jump, tire, tunnel. Stop him. Call him. Jake. Call him to you. They have to come to you every time. Otherwise, they are going to start doing obstacles on their own. We're going to try four obstacles now. And it's big jump, tire, tunnel, weave. Go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go. Good boy! And that's how you sequence obstacles together."
