The team captain helps the team function as a whole. They make the split-section decisions of whether to re-run a dog that has a fault, whether to switch out a dog who is having troubles with a dog that was being held in reserve, which dogs run and in which order. The team captain also communicates the racing order to the line judge and the boxloader. Ideally, the team captain shouldn't be handling a dog. It's just too much to keep track of, and it can be hard to see what's going on with the other team members when you are focused on your dog. However, on most teams, the captain is racing a dog and they manage just fine.
