So what would happen if a terrier person is caught doubling their dog with their little mouse toys? Or the poodle person doubling with the can of hair spray (true story)? And what if people are doubling dogs in every ring? Is the entire show going to be stopped??? I agree with Christine that MANY people need to learn to double correctly. I am always intrigued by what the dogs are thinking when their owners are running around and creating havoc, like real maniacs. "Boy, I trained my owner right...... hehehe". It is part of training your dogs to show to get their attention with the minimum amount of effort, and it is only sportsmanlike to do this without interfering or disturbing those other dogs showing in your ring, or the ring next to you. Or running over other people. Or making everyone deaf with the horns and bells some people use. A suggestion: teach your dog to play hide and seek. Then all the handler has to say is " find them!!" and that dog will be alert. It works, trust me. So, get with the program, and do unto others.......if you don't know the rest of this sentence, there is part of the problem. And next time ANYONE puts their hands on you without your invite, call the police. Let them sort it out.
