Are "practice"- style gates acceptable for BA tests, or do we need EGC-style lattice gates to offer a test?

How much advance notice does the office require for a BA test? I know months are required for agility trials, but I wasn't sure about BA.

Thanks in advance!

I have entered my first beginner agility test. I read the handbook and it talks about the distraction test where you walk by a dog in a pen and your dog cannot react or pull on the leash. Are you allowed to use a gentle leader? I gentle leader is allowed in a std trial but was not sure if allowed for beginner agility testing.

Where is the info for BA 3. I went to the NADAC site and I can only find the info for level 1 and level 2?

Yep, I have Level 3 finished. I sent it to the Arizona folks for review and I will post it today.

Thanks for all the help everyone in completing the rules for Level 3 requirements.

Palomar Agility Club is having BA-1 and BA-2 at our trial Feb 16-17 in Ramona, CA near San Diego. We did it last year and it was very successful.

Jumping Chollas Agility Club in Phoenix is offering all 3 levels of Beginner Agility at our test next Monday night. We are offering 6 runs of EGC each evening for next Wednesday and Thursday (Feb. 6 & 7), and then a 3 day NADAC Handling seminar on Friday thru Sunday (Feb. 8-10). Definitely a great NADAC week here in Phoenix.

Sharon:

The rules say that the leash may be put on the dog between exercises. To me, this reads as if you do NOT have to have the leash on the dog between exercises if your dog is under control.

However, I was told by a tester at at BA test that I must put the leash on my dog between exercises, although my dog was under voice control and was willingly following me, at my command, between the stations.

Which is correct?
