HANDLERS MEETING
A handlers meeting will take place before each JUMP, TOSS, GRAB or LURE.
Attendance is mandatory; if you miss the meeting you will be scratched from the competition.
During this meeting the running order will be announced as well as posted on the back of the dock.
It is the responsibility of the handler to know their dog's position within the Running Order.
STAGING
The staging area is at the rear of the dock where the participants and competitors line up with their dogs for the jumps.
This area is sometimes managed by a wrangler who will ensure the rules and the proper running order is followed.
Participants and competitors who are waiting to jump must stay at least eight (8) feet away from the base of the steps to the dock while another dog is on the dock.
