- The competition is open to all dogs and bitches.
- The dog is to jump over the log wall; however the dog can touch any part of the jump to get over the wall.
- It is suggested that two handlers are required, with one handler releasing the dog at the jump run up and the other handler to catch the dog on the other side of the jump.
- The dogs can be encouraged over the jump by a handler, vocally or visually.
- The dogs can remain on the lead during the run up and jumping, however the dogs cannot be assisted by either handler by pushing or pulling the lead or the dog.
