From this position, at the judges signal, comes the building up of all the obedience exercises. The handler must show a minimum of 10 paces before the for the performance of the exercises.  

Dog and handler will walk approximately 40 paces without stopping. The dog is to stay at the left side of the handler with his shoulder blade even with the handlers leg. After traveling about 40 paces, the handler will make an about turn. Then show the exercise at a run for 10 paces a slow for 10 paces then back to normal. After showing the changes of pace the team will demonstrate a right turn, a left turn, and a about turn with a minimum of 10 paces between.
