In the Under Steps sequence, which action completes setting up the leash by stepping on it and wrapping the leash around the elbow?

• A. Lure dog under with 'touch'
• B. Command "Sit"
• C. Step on the leash and wrap leash around elbow
• D. Approaches the table

Answer: (C)

The main idea is securing the leash so you can maintain control while guiding the dog under a low obstacle. Stepping on the leash and wrapping it around your elbow is the best action because it anchors the leash, removes slack, and keeps the dog close and aligned with you as you move under the steps. This setup prevents the leash from slipping and provides reliable control through the sequence. Luring with a touch might get the dog under there, but it doesn’t establish the secure leash hold. A Sit command and approaching the table don’t address the leash setup needed here.
