Susan Garrett says to treat the holes and not the ends I agree treat the good stuff too often we forget to stop and reward the dog before he messes up.
Just as a side noet tot his I heard of a study where they ran mice in a maze and at the halfway point they treated them. They then ran the mice and didn't treat them at the half way point and the mice ran the last half faster. So in practice treat you agility mice/dogs at the half way point and when you actually trial they should finish faster.
