The overall impression should be of enthusiasm, focus, style and energy by both dog and handler, of each exercise. Handlers may reward their dog in the ring between exercises using food or toy rewards. This Class will take place in a separate Ring. Handlers may carry rewards on their person e.g. in a pocket. CARRYING ANY REWARD IN THE HAND will be assumed to be NOT FOR COMPETITION/TRAINING.
