There are two rooms:

This is the larger of the two rooms with a full assortment of planks, tunnels, weave poles, a frames, seesaws.  There were approximately 20 dogs (3 shelties) and 3 trainers.  The class was divided into beginning and other.  We (beginners) went into the smaller room.






This room has ladder for the dog to become aware where the feet are, especially the rear legs.  There are also low height planks.  Most planks ramp up and down and it takes awhile for the dog to get used to the height.
The rocker stations on the left teach the dog to balance on moving platform.  The pvc squares on right are used to teach the dog space,  go there, reward him when he goes there.  Partnering with the dog to practice for improvement.
