Sports defenses raises a lot of controversy. Associated with aggression and brutality. How do I really look like training and games? What motivates people to have their dogs just practiced this discipline? Is every dog is suitable for this sport? There are three levels of competition dog defense: IPO I, IPO II and III, IPO. For each are placed on a higher degree of difficulty. However, the same principles apply. So the games always consist of three stages: a trace, obedience and defense. For each stage the dog may receive a maximum of 100 points.
Professional investigators Competition is no trace in the meadow where the grass is, medium height, fresh. Only on such a foundation can check the dog as a good tracker. The IPO and trace consists of 300 steps. Lays out the guide and then it goes alone with the dog this trail on a loose 10-meter rope (in the IPO II and III trace the person arranges a stranger, an unknown dog). Trace has to have two or three simple index (the IPO III - 600 steps, four index). On the path are two objects (in the IPO III - three). The IPO and most boards are, the skin (in the IPO III - metal objects), which the dog must be noted. Selection is based on pooch. Guide before holding these objects, so soaked in his scent. Training begins in this way, the tour takes off about 30 seconds and stand grass. Creates a so-so. basis. Then, in this place sticks a flag and a sign of a judge set the trace starts. After 15 minutes, starts again, but with a dog. The task of a dog is wandering in the wake of the nose without taking from the earth. In this competition, scoring, and trace the path selection of items. The dog must pass all the way in less than 15 minutes. Points are deducted if the dog goes upper-wind, ie, raises his head. To complete training, pet must receive a minimum of 70 points. When he does, is qualified to the second stage, namely obedience. Polite warrior This phase consists of walking on foot without a leash, will sit on the march, of command "to me," the legs ". The dog must retrieve goat, or a wooden object in the shape of dumbbells. Aims to make a contribution flat, or simply bring goat. He must also give the council a much more difficult in kind, which involves jump the meter barrier, and the stockade. In this stage, the dogs always starts in pairs. When one pet performs an exercise, the second should quietly cringe. While walking with a guide dog (about 30 steps) fell two shots, which the dog should not react. During the competition in the fall of one little dog so four shots. When a pet, is disqualified. The dog must not show signs of timidity! After the exercises performed good dog goes to the final stage, which is defense. Brave spirit. Defense raises the strongest emotions among viewers. In the square the size of football pitches are spaced tents. In the first competition, the guide seems to dog the command "sick bay". Pet should then circle around all the empty tents indicated by the guide, and then run to the tent in which the helper (in the IPO and two tents in the IPO II - four tents on IPO III - six). The dog knows that the helper is only in the last tent, but round the other shows his obedience. |
