A "junior handler" in agility is a handler who is under the age of 18. This is true for most other dog sports as well (except I believe that for Schutzhund a junior handler is considered anyone under 21).

An agility run, is also known as an agility 'trial'. This requires a dog, a handler, and an open space for the trial. Once you get a command- the handler must send his/her dog over a variety of obstacles, such as: The A-frame, 3 or 4 jumps, the Dog-Walk, the Tire Jump, the Weave Poles, the Schute, the Tunnel, and the Paws Table. The Paws Table and the Weave Poles are the hardest for a dog to learn, the Paws Table is when a dog must sit on it for 5 seconds and have a command to be let of. The Weave Poles are when a dog has 6 poles, 2 feet/24 inches apart, and must weave them. My 2 dogs do agility!
For one, the dog and the handler are usually not apart when in public. Think about it for a minute----what use is a Guide dog for the handler if the dog is not with the handler? Most Guides will not leave their handler even if the leash and harness handle are dropped. That is their person, and they do not normally leave their side. The only time my wife's Guide is away from her in public is if the dog has to relieve and I am taking it out to do so or back in to where she is waiting.If something has happened to the guide dog handler, the dog may be searching for someone to help their handler. My own service dog is trained to do this.
