Gambler's agility courses are courses that require a fair amount of forethought and communication between handler and dog. In a Gambler's course, the dog and handler earn points by completing a number of obstacles, all of which have a point value attached to them.

After an opening time frame in which the dog and handler complete obstacles for points, they must then complete a “gamble,” which is a series of obstacles the…

The round continues until the dog or handler makes…
