Double handling definition

Double handling during an exercise means any assistance to or communication with a competing dog by a person who is not specifically permitted by the terms of the exercise description or these "Rules and Regulations for Water Trial Participants" to assist or communicate with the dog. Double handling will be cause for immediate failure of an exercise except where it occurs through an error made by an official trial steward. In that case, the dog must be re-tested on the exercise.
Double handling means the action of any person outside the ring whilst exhibits are being judged who attracts or attempts the attraction of the exhibits by verbalising or making signals or using any device.
