Run-out Plane for Weave Poles The run-out plane for the weave poles is also not the leading edge of the obstacle, rather it is the point where the dog could no longer perform the obstacle correctly in sequence without turning back on his path. If the dog is approaching from the left side of the weave poles this would be the first pole (Figure 8). If, however, the dog is approaching from the right side of the weave poles this would be the second pole (Figure 9). Not a run-out Run-out Run-out Plane for the Table The run-out plane for the table is the back plane of the table that is perpendicular to the dog’s path. If the dog commits a run-out at the table, the run-out plane changes and becomes the back plane of the table in relation to his new approach (Figure 10). Note that in the occasional course design the runout plane of the table could change depending on which path the dog takes from the previous obstacle; in these cases, it may be helpful to ask the judge during the briefing how he or she will be judging the run-out plane of the table (Figure 11). Dogs can earn multiple refusals and/or run-outs at the same obstacle. 12 Clean Run | October 13
