Tips for Reading the Diagrams

Diagram Key
Winged bar jump

Following are some tips to help you interpret the diagrams in
Clean Run magazine:
• For any sequence or course, shown at any size, one square
in the diagram always represents 10'.

Nonwinged bar jump

Winged one-bar jump

• As on an actual agility course, numbers in the diagrams are
always placed on the side of the obstacle it's taken from.

Broad/long jump

• Many exercise setups have several sequences for you to try,
so you will often see diﬀerent colored numbers on the same
diagram. The numbers in the white circles represent one
possible sequence, the numbers in the black circles another
sequence, and so on.

Nonwinged double-bar jump

• In some articles, the handler and dog icons are color coded
to show how the handler and dog would be positioned relative to each other at a given moment on course. For example,
a green handler shows the handler location corresponding
to the green dog’s position on course.

• The diagrams represent approximations of actual dog
and handler interaction. It is impossible to depict precise
relationships between the dog and handler with complete
accuracy in a two-dimensional image. The diagrams are
intended to convey the concepts presented in the text.
