Thirty games are provided and most are supplemented with variations allowing hundreds of games to be actually developed from this book. The games are for all age handlers, and all dogs. Some commonsense will be required to sort the athletic from the toddlers, but in many games such a division isn�t even necessary.

NO EQUIPMENT
Partners stand in a circle with their backs away from the centre
All place their leads into the middle of the circle, into a heap. Those dogs with check leads which can�t leave a correction collar or collar on should only be included in the game if they can be safely held in some fashion or a collar borrowed.
Partners turn to face the centre and sit down
One partnership is chosen at random to start – the tag
The tag chooses a lead at random (not their own lead) and makes a suggested match to another partnership if an incorrect guess is made the tag passes on around the circle.
Each tag chooses a lead and makes a guess until a lead is correctly matched when the partnership will declare the correct match, e.g. �bingo�
the winner is the person who correctly matches the chosen lead to a partnership
Variations:
can include several teams forming circles
unclaimed leads returned to centre
an extra or decoy lead can be entered into the heap
Derivation:
original concept!
