The individual exercises and points of the companion dog test (BH)

At the beginning of the field work, two dog handlers (HF) and their dog report to the judge (LR). Registration takes place with"HF Name reports with dog name for companion dog test part 1".

Leash leadership (maximum 15 points)

The dog stays on a leash. From the starting point you go into the first part of the running scheme and the group exercise.

At normal pace, it's 15 steps straight ahead. After a turn, follow 10-15 steps at normal pace, 10-15 at a run, and another 10-15 at a slow pace.

Arriving back at the starting point, after a right angle, it goes 15 steps further. Another right angle follows, 15 steps straight ahead, a U-turn and after 7 steps a basic position (GS). At the signal from the judge, the handler (handler) runs the remaining 8 steps, turns left and joins the group.

In the group, the handler runs in a figure eight around the people and assumes the basic position (GS) near one person. When the judge releases the handler from the group, one belongs"Thanks to the group" to good form.

Heel (maximum 15 points)

From here there are changes in the scheme. Immediately after the group exercise, it's back to the starting point in the GS, where the dog is unleashed. It works differently than walking on a leashnot rejoin the group after being unleashed.

Instead of running the entire leash pattern again, since 2019 the free heel has been limited to 50 steps up and back again with the tempo changes. The free run ends at the starting point.
