Did You Know #5 -- What to do when you bump the tree?

From Section 3 – Maneuvering Course & Basic Commands

If a dog’s apparatus bumps an object (e.g., tree or narrow area) and the dog obeys the handler’s commands in dislodging it, the judges will pass the dog. However, if this happens more than (2) times, the judges will fail the dog. The dog will also fail the exercise if the dog damages the objects or apparatus.

----------------------------------

And Molly adds the following:

If the dog bumps the same object twice it is considered two bumps. For instance if the apparatus bumps the long narrow all the way through it is more than one bump each bump counts. Be carefully, go slow. Remember you are not being timed.
