  • Note to the Hold and Bark: If the dog leaves the Helper before the Handler is instructed by the judge to leave the center of the field, the dog, at the judge's command, can be sent again [to the blind]. If the dog now remains at the Helper, protection can be continued, and the "Hold" exercise is scored as insufficient. If the dog will not go to the blind or again leaves the helper, protection must be terminated
  • If the dog goes toward the Handler when the Handler approaches the blind, a partial score results. If the dog leaves the helper before the judge's command to pick up (or call out) the dog, likewise this earns a partial score
• At the judge's command, the Handler leaves the center of the field and approaches to within 3 to 4 paces from the dog. The judge determines the Handler's position for the call out.

Defending Against an Attack on the Dog and Handler and the Subsequent Hold and Guard (30 points)

• Commands: "Heel" (Fuß), "Go On" (Voran), "Out" (Aus)
• The Handler comes out of the blind with the dog heeling off lead and proceeds to the start position designated by the judge (center of the field). He puts his dog in the basic sit position free at heel or holds it firmly by the collar. The Handler may not stimulate the dog and the dog must sit quietly next to the Handler. The dog must hold this position until he is released with the command "Go On" (Voran) to defend against the attack.
• Up to 3 points will be deducted for restless behavior.
• The Helper leaves the blind assigned to him by the judge that is about 70 to 80 paces distance from the Handler and crosses the field at a normal pace. The Handler orders the Helper to halt by calling, "Stop, stand still!" The Helper ignores this command and attacks the Handler and dog head on. The judge immediately after the attack gives the Handler the command to defend against the attack. At that time, the Handler immediately sends his dog with the command "Go On" (Voran), and remains where he is standing.
• The dog must intensely defend against the attack, forcefully biting with a hard, full, confident, calm bite. After the dog bites, the Helper drives the dog a short distance, without stick hits, and at the judge's command stops resisting. After the Helper stops resisting, the dog must let go on its own or at the single command "Out" (Aus) and guard the Helper intently.
• At the judge's command, the Handler walks directly to his dog at a normal pace. With the "Sit" (Sitz) command, the Handler puts his dog in the basic position. If the dog is already sitting, the behavior of the dog can be reinforced with the "Sit" (Sitz) command. If the dog takes the down position after outing, the down can likewise be reinforced with the command "Down" (Platz). The Handler has the Helper take 3 steps back, tells him to raise his arms and then downs the dog. The Handler disarms the Helper. After searching the Helper, the Handler returns to the dog and puts him in a sit. Before beginning the side transport, the Handler halts beside the Helper with the dog in the basic sit position between them. The side transport follows with the dog heeling off lead. After reporting to the judge, the Handler puts the dog on lead.
• The Helper leaves the field. The score is announced by the judge. Downing the dog during the critique is allowed.
