The thing is, can Kakashi really stop Jiraiya from entering Sage Mode? His dog summons would be troublesome for Jiraiya since they can block his movement, but on the other hand how can they really survive the stuff Jiraiya can throw? There are a variety of other things, like Jiraiya being a master infiltrator making me wonder how well Kakashi's tactics work against him.

Before Sage Mode kakashi may have a shot, but i'm not convinced.
