The only way you can lose points for footwork is if you take too many steps after the judge says halt, or if you actually step on your dog and make contact. Specific footwork isn't supposed to be judged. I don't do specific footwork....and I'm certainly not the smoothest handler. But I do try to avoid causing the points loss, there are enough places to lose points so I try not to add to that! --Regina On Tue, Jan 21, 2014 at 2:27 PM, Anne Utter <rautt75@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > well I lost points because I didn't stop exactly right with the right > foot.
