Gate
柵門


You can see the orange target on the track in the inner track (two dog-like dolls) that moves around the track so all the dogs can pursue it. The dogs have to compete for two circles around the track.
賽狗的場地會有一個橘色的目標（上面有兩個像是狗的布娃娃）會繞著場地移動，應該是讓狗有一個明顯的目標能夠追逐，每一輪會跑兩圈。

The dogs take part in each run are different, after each run, the winner and it's owner will be awaded on the presentation platform.
每一輪參賽的狗好像都不同，每賽完一輪就會讓主人和狗狗上台接受頒獎。


Besides, I don't think the compitition is fair, the dogs in the outer of the track have to move to the inner track, it takes some time. You can see all the dogs were running in the inner track.
另外感覺有點不公平，離跑道外側比較遠的狗要多花時間切到跑道內側，比賽開始後，所有的狗都會往跑道內側擠。
