Tracking

Within a track the articles must be made of different materials (e.g., leather, textiles, wood). In the case of Championships and FH examinations, the articles must be numbered. These numbers must be the same as the track number. Article size in cm.  L: 10 W: 2-3  H:  0,5-1

 

 

An occasional praise on the track is permissible, (IPG 1 & 2 only) but not in the corners (dogs body length before and after the corner). In addition, a short praise at the article is permitted in all levels. This can be done before or after the display of the article, but not both
