Handlers Collectively Coached to IGP Titles
What We Do
Tracking
Obedience
Obedience: The dog must follow the handler's orders to heel both on and off leash, jump, retrieve, retrieve over a 6 foot wall, and send away. The dog must not be intimidated by any distractions, including the sound of a gun or a group of strangers milling about.
Protection
Protection and Obedience under a Conflict Situation: The dog must, without handler assistance, respond properly in critical situations like finding and warning its handler of a hidden person, preventing an assault on his handler, and stopping the villain from escaping. The dog must distinguish between a harmless bystander and a potentially dangerous person. He must display courage but restraint on his own when the agitator gives up.
Tracking: The dog must retrace the path of a person (300-600 paces with 2-4 turns) after 20-60 minutes have elapsed and be able to find 3 lost articles, regardless of weather conditions.
