BOUNCE - PLATINUM

Having mastered the problems of distraction training in Silver, the only thing left to train the dog is that it can do Bounce in any location you choose to take it - be it another training venue, a local common or playing field etc.

If the early training sessions of Bounce have been done properly and not rushed, then you and your dog will soon be able to generalise what you have learnt and pass Platinum very easily.

Training and test for each certificate
Dog does a Bounce run 51ft/15.3m from poles while another dog (or dogs) are doing any of the Dog-Games in the next lane. The dog jumps all four jumps, runs between the finish poles and returns to its handler.  The handler must only reward their dog (while holding its harness) if it has returned over the jumps without hesitation nor been distracted. A certificate will be awarded for doing 5 correct runs in a row with no errors in the training session. Each of the three certificates must be done at different venues (ie not the dog's usual training ground)*

These stages are the same as those done in Silver Level 3, except they are done at different venues rather than the dog's usual training grounds.  They can be done by visiting other training clubs or individuals to fulfill the above criteria.

Please note - all three certificates* must be done successfully at different venues.

Once the dog has gained three certificates at Platinum level it will be awarded with a rosette and a Trophy.

*With each certificate, please send in your Dog-Games Main Entry Form giving the details of where and when you passed the Platinum Bounce certificate and with the appropriate fees.

As soon as the Entry Form and fees are received the Dog-Games staff will enter your dog's details on the website Roll of Honour, so that you have a record of its achievements as it progresses through the Dog-Games, and your certificate (and your rosette and trophy when you gain the third certificate) will be posted to you.

This trophy (with its stand) will be sent to you on completion of Bounce Platinum.
You may decide to have your dog's name engraved underneath "BOUNCE" by your local engraver
