side and oveRhead view of an aRC 1 To make it easier to identify which jumping arcs would be successful and which would likely lead to contact with a bar, the illustrations show the bars being jumped as if they were located at the very top of the standards-that is, as if the bars were the highest point of the jumps.

The jumping arc is the dog's trajectory over the bar as viewed from the side at ground level. The takeoff and landing points, and the height of the bar, determine the amount of curvature in that arc; that is, how round or flat the jumping arc is. November 17 | Clean Run 39
