May handlers opt to enter their dogs in a different height division for all titling classes for Agility and Jumpers Trials?
- A.
No, they must enter at the correct height division based on the dog's height measurement.
- B.
Yes, in all classes, at either lower or higher height divisions, at their discretion.
- C.
Yes, but only in a Novice class, at either lower or higher height divisions.
- D.
Yes, in all classes, but at a higher height division only.
Correct Answer
D. Yes, in all classes, but at a higher height division only.Explanation
Handlers are allowed to enter their dogs in a different height division, but only at a higher height division. This means that they cannot choose to enter their dogs at a lower height division or in a Novice class. The option to enter at a higher height division gives handlers the flexibility to challenge their dogs and compete against more advanced competitors if they choose to do so.Rate this question:

Leaving the pause table and engaging another obstacle prior to completion of the 5-second count calls for:
- A.
5 point penalty
- B.
Mandatory elimination
- C.
Mandatory excusal
- D.
5 point penalty, except in a Novice class where no penalty is given the first time the dog makes a mistake
Correct Answer
B. Mandatory eliminationExplanation
Engaging another obstacle before completing the 5-second count is a serious fault in dog agility. It indicates a lack of control and understanding between the handler and the dog. Therefore, the appropriate consequence for this mistake is a mandatory elimination. This means that the team is disqualified from the competition and cannot continue to the next round or earn any points. This penalty is necessary to maintain fairness and safety in the sport.Rate this question:

For Open Classes, approach angles to obstacles shall not exceed which of the following, with additional consideration for safety, based on the obstacle being approached and running surface.
- A.
Generally not exceeding 90 degrees, but must not exceed 2 times at 135 degrees
- B.
Generally not exceeding 135 degrees, but must not exceed 2 times at 180 degrees
- C.
Generally not exceeding 180 degrees, but must not exceed 2 times at 270 degrees
- D.
None of the above
Correct Answer
B. Generally not exceeding 135 degrees, but must not exceed 2 times at 180 degreesExplanation
The correct answer is generally not exceeding 135 degrees, but must not exceed 2 times at 180 degrees. This means that for open classes, the approach angles to obstacles should generally be less than 135 degrees. However, there may be some instances where the approach angle can be up to 180 degrees, but it should not exceed 2 times at 180 degrees. This is to ensure safety and consider the obstacle being approached and the running surface.Rate this question:

- A.
1500mm
- B.
2500mm
- C.
900mm
- D.
610mm
Correct Answer
A. 1500mmExplanation
The apex height for the A-frame for all classes is 1500mm. This means that the highest point of the A-frame structure is at a height of 1500mm above the ground. It is important to note that this height is consistent across all classes, indicating that there is a standard measurement for the apex height of the A-frame regardless of the specific class.Rate this question:

Jumping and overturning the board, flying off the plank before it touches the ground, and dropping the bar on a jump are all actions that would result in penalties. However, relieving oneself in the ring is not mentioned as an action that would lead to a penalty.Rate this question:

- D.
1/1000th of a second

C. 1/100th of a secondExplanation
In agility or jumper trials, when scores are tied, the winners are determined based on the fastest time. The time is recorded to the nearest 1/100th of a second. This means that the timing is precise up to two decimal places, allowing for a more accurate measurement of the time taken to complete the trial.Rate this question:

Any distance within this range would be acceptable for the placement of the obstacles.Rate this question:

The correct answer is 12-16 (Novice), 16-20 (Open), 20-24 (Master). This means that for the Novice class, a minimum of 12 obstacles and a maximum of 16 obstacles are required. For the Open class, a minimum of 16 obstacles and a maximum of 20 obstacles are required. And for the Master class, a minimum of 20 obstacles and a maximum of 24 obstacles are required.Rate this question:

Senior dogs above ___ years of age on the Trial date shall be entitled to enter the Trial in the height Class that is one Class lower than its current Class.
- A.
8
- B.
9
- C.
10
- D.
11
Correct Answer
B. 9Explanation
Senior dogs above 9 years of age on the Trial date can enter the Trial in a height Class that is one Class lower than their current Class. This means that if a senior dog is currently competing in Class 9, they can enter the Trial in Class 8. This rule allows senior dogs to compete at a slightly lower height, which may be more suitable for their age and physical capabilities.Rate this question:

A dog is doing an agility course and it is navigating to its next obstacle, the Weave Poles. Which of the following is considered a wrong course, leading to a mandatory elimination?
- A.
Dog goes under the A-Frame to the Weave Poles.
- B.
Dog jumps over the flat fabric of the Collapsible Tunnel to the Weave Poles.
- C.
Dog runs under the Seesaw to the Weave Poles.
- D.
Dog enters the Weave Poles correctly then turns around midway and back weaves at the Weave Poles.
Correct Answer
D. Dog enters the Weave Poles correctly then turns around midway and back weaves at the Weave Poles.Explanation
The correct answer is "Dog enters the Weave Poles correctly then turns around midway and back weaves at the Weave Poles." This is considered a wrong course because in agility courses, dogs are expected to complete each obstacle in the intended direction without any deviations or reversals. Back weaving at the Weave Poles is not the correct way to navigate this obstacle, and it would result in a mandatory elimination for the dog.Rate this question:

If while running a course, a dog in Open Class Agility runs a course but: (a) Causes a bar of a jump to drop; and (b) Misses the downward contact of the A-frame; and (c) Goes into the collapsible tunnel instead of up the see-saw which is the next obstacle; and (d) Goes over the Standard Course Time of 60 seconds by 2.5 seconds, What result will the dog get?

Disqualified(DQ)
- C.
Not Qualified(NQ) with 15 total fault points
- D.
Not Qualified (NQ) with 17.5 total fault points
Correct Answer
B. Disqualified(DQ)Explanation
The dog will be disqualified because it has committed multiple faults during the course. It caused a bar of a jump to drop, missed the downward contact of the A-frame, went into the wrong obstacle (collapsible tunnel instead of the see-saw), and exceeded the standard course time by 2.5 seconds. These faults indicate that the dog did not successfully complete the course according to the rules, resulting in disqualification.Rate this question:

If while running a Novice Agility course, a dog: (a) Slides off the pause table before completion of 5 seconds then jump back on again; and (b) Repeats the weave pole obstacles twice and completes it on the second time; and (c) Finishes the course under the Standard Course Time by 5.7 seconds, What result will the dog get?
- A.
Not Qualified (NQ) with 5 total fault points
- B.
Disqualified (DQ)
- C.
Not Qualified (NQ) with 10 total fault points
- D.
Not Qualified (NQ) with 15.7 total fault points
Correct Answer
A. Not Qualified (NQ) with 5 total fault pointsExplanation
The dog will receive a "Not Qualified" (NQ) result with 5 total fault points. This is because the dog slid off the pause table before completing 5 seconds, which incurs a fault. Additionally, repeating the weave pole obstacles also incurs a fault. However, finishing the course under the Standard Course Time by 5.7 seconds does not result in any faults. Therefore, the total fault points for the dog are 5, leading to a "Not Qualified" result.Rate this question:
