So I've signed Cohen up for our first trial in early September with the AAC. I've signed up for Starters Standard and might sign up for a few Starters Jumpers. I've got some performance jitters already. In order to help prepare myself I need some clarification on the rules. I've read through portions of the AAC rule-book, but I just want to rephrase it as I understand it to make sure I'm clear.
- I can re-cue the weaves repeatedly if my dog misses a bar/entry. Is this correct? Is the only issue possibly going over course time? It's still considered a clean run?
- I can re-cue a table, same as above.
- I can re-cue an obstacle if my dog misses a contact. (This doesn't make much sense to me.)
- A knocked bar is considered a fault, and if a bar is knocked the run will not be counted while pursuing a title.
The rest of the rules seem relatively clear to me... I think.
Any help would be appreciated, and any additional pointers are welcome. Cheers.
