This person releases the start dog. The start dog is the first dog of the team to race. They will have to learn their dog's start speed and know how far back from the start line and at what point in the start light sequence to release it. Good starts are judged by the hundreths of a second, so timeing is very critical. The start dog handler should be able to charge his/her dog up enough to sprint from a standstill over and over again. Also, a high level of consistency in the way the dog starts is important.
