the bronze medal. The three medalist handling strategies can be seen in
Figures 2 through 4. Their medal placements were exactly replicated in the combined Standard and Jumpers awards.
The course had a variety of challenges
that included discriminations, threadles, numerous off-course options, and
plenty of places to gain or lose time
depending on handling efficiency and
communication.
A chronological evaluation of the
course follows, so consider steps you
would take along the way.
Front crosses were frequently used
after #2. After jump #3, teams were
tested with a dogwalk/tunnel discrimination. Several dogs lost all chance by
entering the incorrect tunnel. Dogs
that responded to a deceleration turn

cue to the dogwalk performed well
here. The tunnel under the dogwalk
impeded handler forward progress a
bit, so handlers needed some lateral
distance. The tunnel/weave discrimination test after the tire proved to be
a much easier challenge to conquer.
Most handlers elected to stay in the
tunnel pocket and blind cross to the
weave entrance. They used their body
to block a possible tunnel re-entry on
the way to the #7.
The middle third of the course included
several jumps, an A-frame and a chute.
After the weave poles, many handlers
backed up into a front-cross pull on the
way to #9 jump and A-frame at #10.
However, as Tobias Wüst demonstrated, there was an option to turn back
toward the poles to create a nice line to
the A-frame. In general, small dogs fare

well on an inward jump wrap as opposed to large dogs that prefer turning
away. After the collapsed chute, dogs
were required to u-turn back toward
jump #12. Some handlers employed a
reverse flow pivot maneuver or a simple serpentine cue to create a fluid line
from #12 to #13. A threadle was the primary tool used to bring the dog to the
approach side of #14. One handler successfully employed back-to-back blind
crosses after #13 and #14 to reach the
broad jump.
The final third of the course included
the seesaw and a fast finish of jumps
and a tunnel. A tight turn was required
at jump #16 to access the seesaw without mishap. A Ketschker turn was the
handling maneuver most often used
at this juncture. The sequence from the
double jump to the finish jump was
