Agility - Objective of the Game

The handler and his dog have to perform a set of obstacles (14 at the minimum) in the sequence that the Judges has instructed. You will notice the sequence numbers placed near the obstacles. Each course differs every event as the Judge prepares the course usually only a day before the competition. The dog has to follow the instructions of the handler and must perform the obstacles correctly, and at the shortest time. Each error has a corresponding penalty called faults. The dog with the least faults, and with the shortest time will come out as the winner.

Example of faults:

Knocking down hurdle bars - 5 faults
Failing to step on contact zone - 5 faults
For prematurely jumping of seesaw - 5 faults
For not following sequence - 20 faults
For missing an obstacle once - 10 faults
For missing two obstacles - elimination
For urinating in the ring - elimination

Wanted! CLOSET FRISBEE DOG COMPETITIONS!

What is Dog Frisbee?

Disc dog is the more generic name for what is commonly called Frisbee dog. Indisc dog competitions, dogs and their human disc throwers compete in events suchas distance catching and somewhat choreographed freestyle catching. The sportcelebrates the bond between handler and dog, by allowing them to work together.The term "disc" is preferred because "Frisbee" is a trademark (held by Wham-O)for a brand of flying disc.The sport got its start in the early 1970s, paralleling the rise in popularityof Frisbee sport. The definitive moment came on August 4, 1974 when Alex Stein,a 19-year-old college student from Ohio, and his dog, Ashley Whippet, jumped thefence at a nationally broadcast baseball game between the Los Angeles Dodgersand the Cincinnati Reds.[1] Stein had with him a couple of flying discs, whichhe threw for the dog. Ashley astonished the crowd with her disc-catching, as heran up to 35 miles per hour and leaped 9 feet in the air to snag theFrisbees.[2] The stunt was so novel that the game was stopped and Joe Garagiolacontinued to announce the flying disc action on the field. Finally, after eightminutes, Stein was escorted off the field and arrested.[1] The nationallytelevised exhibition of Ashley's skill did much to fuel interest in the sport.Stein worked with Irv Lander and Eldon McIntire to create the Frisbee Dog WorldChampionship for people and their dogs. Even today, Stein and McIntire continueto contribute to the sport.From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
