We call the A-Frame "Scramble" and this is a more difficult obstacle for smaller toy breeds, but it is one of Cruiser's most consistent obstacles. When approaching the A-Frame and leaving the A-Frame all 4 paws must touch the yellow contact zones or a fault will be issued by the judge. |
We call the Dog Walk "Walk-it". The Dog Walk is another contact obstacle like the A-Frame and all 4 paws must touch the yellow contact zone entering and exiting the Dog Walk or the judge will call a fault. |
We call the Teeter "Teeter" just like it's name. The Teeter is also a contact obstacle and all 4 paws must touch the yellow contact zone upon entry and exiting the Teeter or the judge will call a fault. The Teeter is also a moving object, which can also be an issue for some dogs to overcome. A beginner should NEVER attempt the Teeter without help because a beginner dog will not realize the Teeter is going to move on them and they will get to the transition point too quickly causing the Teeter to move too fast and bang onto the ground with the other end, which will scare the dog and could cause difficulities with this obstacle in the future if the dog refuses to do the obstacle or bails off the obstacle for fear it will bang the ground again. |
We call the Jumps "Over or Jump". The photo on the left above shows a wing jump and the photo on the right above shows a regular jump. There are different jump heights, so each dog is measured from the floor to its withers in a standing position to determine the jump height required for each dog. A dog can obtain an official jump card from each registry also. Puppies are not allowed to jump or compete in agility and dogs must be 1 year of age before they begin to jump because their growth plates have not closed and excessive jumping could cause injuries. When practicing and not competing it is wise to lower the jump height to avoid excessive strain also. |
During competition it is always wise to rest between runs. |
