SENDS:  Owner must stand at least 10 feet from raised obstacle and be able to indicate to the dog to go to the obstacle on their own.  The team must then wait for 5 seconds before the owner cues the dog to go to another raised obstacle at least 10 feet away from the first without returning to handler first.  Dog must get all four feet on both obstacles.
8. GAP JUMP: Dog must jump between two obstacles at least elbow height high that are at least as far apart at 1 1/2 times the dogs body length.
