This Footwork & Teamsmanship Is Just Amazing

Me and my stupid questions!

When training especially young dogs, would it help the dog, if the handler wore white long sleeve tops say with different colour pants. In retrieving circles we wear white tops as the dogs can see us easily, especially at a distance and if cover/trees behind us.

Nevertheless in short drills we still wear white for clarity.

I'm not sure anyone gives it that much thought here yet. One of my former clubs wore shirts that had two different coloured sleeves years ago but it never really took off. It's only been recently that there has been some discussion around what the dogs can see and can't see with equipment colouring.

This covers some of the contrasting colouring with clothing, but mostly related to indoors: http://agilitymach.hubpages.com/hub/How-Does-a-Dogs-Color-Vision-Affect-Canine-Sport-How-do-Dogs-See
