more information. center to the finish obstacle. In Excellent, those who
chose to come across the top of the course to get to the send bonus zone
found it difficult to get their dogs to pull away from the wrong- course
tunnel entrance, and, in fact, this area proved to be the greatest
challenge on the course. Those handlers who chose to work the A-frame on
their way into the send bonus zone had a better time getting their dogs to
pull to the left with their body posture, thus avoiding the wrong entrance
of the tunnel. Refusals and run-outs are not faulted within the send bonus
zone until the dog has completed the first obstacle with all four feet. A
couple of dogs had a refusal at the tunnel and the handlers simply called
the dog back, realigned him, and reattempted the tunnel. But several other
dogs completed the tunnel in the wrong direction, so handlers had to
perform another obstacle before reattempting the correct tunnel entrance
again. Most of these handlers chose to take the tire before reattempting
the tunnel, but that reset often proved to be too time-consuming. Once the
dogs completed the open tunnel, most had no issue with being redirected
away from the handler to the double, and then to the chute. We had several
beautiful runs at the Excellent level that completed all the obstacles,
thus earning all 60 points available, that were successful within the send
bonus for the additional 20 points, and that crossed the finish obstacle
ahead of the allowed SCT. I changed the entrance of the tunnel between
Open and Excellent, and I expected to see more Open handlers approach the
send bonus zone while handling their dogs from the left. This maneuver
allowed them to pull the dog to the correct tunnel entrance with the added
advantage of the handlers' path permitting them to get close to the tunnel.
