When using a big square area, consider adding a two-way obstacle in the center.
Below are some possible layouts. I prefer rectangles so to cats can go faster.
Someday I would like to try a 50' long course.
Adapt the number and arrangement of obstacles to the space available. I prefer rectangles. Squares are okay, too.
​
Remember to leave enough space for the handlers to maneuver without tripping on obstacles.
General guidelines for arranging obstacles:
(1) obstacles graduate arranged from easier/slower at the beginning, to harder/faster at the end, and
(2) if there are ten obstacles, for instance, then alternate activities, like jump, walk, jump, walk, jump, walk, jump, walk, jump, jump
