10.3.4 Startline
Once a handler begins their “leadout” (stepping toward the course and away from the dog),
touching the dog will be considered “training in the ring” (see Section 10.3.6, “Training in the
Ring”) and will result in an Elimination.
Once the handler crosses the plane of the first obstacle during their leadout, returning back
past that plane for any reason will be considered training in the ring and will result in an
Elimination.
If the handler resets the dog at the startline after they have attempted or performed the first
obstacle, even if accidental, an Elimination will be given for training in the ring.
If a dog goes around the first obstacle, passing the plane and starting time, without attempting
it, and the handler resets the dog at the startline, an Elimination will be given. Note: In this
situation, the team may reattempt the missed start obstacle without fault, including the handler
crossing back over the plane of the first obstacle, as long as the dog is not stopped and reset.

I want to thank all the people who came to our March trial and ran their dogs and helped run the trial!
We cannot run a trial without help in the ring, so thank you all who did help.
Special thanks to the people who stuck around and helped load the trailer back up...could not have done it without you!
