Prevention of Escape attempts by the helper 20 points
a) Voice commands
b) Performance
On the judge’s calls the helper to step out from
the blind. The helper proceeds at a normal walk to the
designated starting point for the escape attempt. Following
an order by the judge, the handler proceeds with his
freely heeling dog to the designated waiting place for
the escape attempt. The distance between helper and
dog is about 5 paces. The handler then leaves his guarding
dog and hides behind the blind, but he must still be
able to observe the dog, the helper and the judge.
Following an order/signal from the judge, the helper
undertakes an escape attempt. The dog must frustrate
this attempt without hesitation, independently, effectively,
and with energetic and robust gripping. It may only
attack the helper by biting him on the SchutZhund sleeve.
Upon the judge’s order, the helper stands still.
After the helper stops the struggle, the dog must release
imeediately. The handler can also give a voice command
for “Aus” after an appropriate time.
If the dog does not “out” after the first
allowed command, the handler receives the judge’s
direction to give up to two further voice commands for
the “out”. If the dog does not “out”
after the third command (one allowed without deduction
and two additional), it results in a disqualification.
During the command “Aus!”, the handler must
stand still, without otherwise influencing the dog.
After the release, the dog must remain close to the
helper and guard him attentively.
c) Evaluation / Scoring
Not meeting the essentials of the following important
performance criteria results in appropriate deductions
: fast, energetic reaction, fast pursuit with robust
grip and effective prevention of the escapee’s
flight, full and steady grip up until the stopping of
the fight and / or the “out” command, and
close, attentive guarding of the helper. If the dog
remains lying, or does not stop the flight through grabbing
and holding on within approximately 20 steps, the exercise
and the rest of “C” are ended.
If the dog in the process of guarding is slightly inattentive
and/or slightly restless, about 1 point is deducted
from the exercise. If the are deducted. If the dog does
not watch the helper, yet remains close to the helper,
around 3 points are deducted. If the dog leaves the
helper, or the handler gives a voice command in order
to keep the dog in the helper, the exercise and the
rest of “C” are then interrupted (ended).
