| Each level increases the amount of exercises to be accomplished to obtain the title. These are just brief descriptions. But you should be able to get the idea.
Sch I - obedience phase only has one jump to do (two retrieval exercises). Protection phase only expects the dog to search two blinds.
Sch II - obedience phase adds a wall for the dog to jump. (there are three retrieval exercises). Protection - the dog has to search 6 blinds.
Both Sch I & II tracks are the same with two turns.
Sch III - Tracking is more difficult than SchI & SchII (not sure how long the track is, but must be 4 corners). Obedience adds standing exercises, another down exercise and another recall exercise. Protection the dog has to deal with two different helpers (at different times). Longer back transports.
The best way to see the differences is to go see a few trials. It is fun to watch!
