Dogsport Trial at UKC Premier

[Chris Wild]

Some pics of us trialing for Police Dog 1 titles at the SDA trial held at last weekend's UKC Premier in Kalamazoo, MI.


First up... me and Raven....

Obedience Phase





Agility Heel exercise. Dog and handler heel past 4 obstacles, with dog going over each one (fortunately we handlers get to just walk next to them!) and returning to heel in between each obstacle. Then there is a down, recall, front and finish after the last obstacle. Ray is heading into her down right out of mid air in the last pic.

Friendly Greeting/Control of the Hostile Helper
Handler and Helper shake hands and have a short conversation, during which the dog must remain sitting and neutral. Then the Helper gets beligerant and it turns into an argument, with the Helper throwing a fit, screaming, stomping, waving the stick and kicking over a chair and a trash can. Dog must still remain sitting and neutral while the Handler deals with the situation.


Alert on the Passive Helper
Dog is alerted to a passive Helper, who after a few seconds comes alive and threatens the dog, then retreats and becomes passive again, at which point the Handler calls back the dog. No bite in this exercise (hence why it's on leash).




After a surprise attack that leads to a bite and drive, the Helper freezes, Handler outs the dog and tells the Helper to step back and put his arms up. Handler then downs the dog and walks forward to conduct a search of the Helper. The Helper then attacks the Handler and the dog must come to the Handler's rescue.








The protection routine ends with a courage test/long bite under gunfire, followed by another search and disarm of the Helper, and back transport of the disarmed Helper to the judge.
