Power & Speed
In this course, there are two parts as well, however the dog has to complete both parts in exactly the right sequence.
The first half of the course is the “Power” part. In this, there is a long jump, a broad jump and weave poles as well as the three contact obstacles A-Frame, dogwalk and teeter totter (the pause table is not included).
In the second part, the “Speed” challenge, your dog has to complete a sequence consisting of tunnels and regular jumps.
In order to score highly in this class, your dog has to be both accurate and fast!
Snookers
Snookers is similar to Gamblers in that the handler makes up his own course. However, there are more rules involved than in the Gamblers class. In Snookers, there are 3-4 “red jumps”. In the first part of the course, the dog has to complete one red jump, then an obstacle of the handler’s choosing, another red jump, another obstacle of the handler’s choosing etc. In the second part the dog has to again perform a set “closing sequence” similar to Gamblers.
Snookers is often the hardest game for beginning agility competitors. If you struggle with this one, there are plenty of other classes in UKI agility that are easier to participate in!
