At a directed place, the owner will be asked to go out and stand, after walking trough the flock, which under the whole moment will stand behind the dog and the owner, similarly to the other moments. The dog will here be in a whole long leash during the entire moment, and the owner may not let go of the leash until the testmanager commands it by the abreaction.

The testmanager will stand a bit behind the owner during the moment, and direct the two ghost, one at a time. The owner must continually look at the ghosts, which in turns will come slowly against the dog, in about 5 meters at a time. When they are around 4 meters in front of the dog or the owner (if the dog stands behind the owner), the testmanager will ask the owner to take off the leash. During the entire moment, there will be described the dogs fear and threats/aggressiveness.



Abreaction: When the leash are off, the dog’s ability to investigate and abreact on the two ghosts, will be described. If the dog doesn’t take physical contact with both ghost by itself, help will be given. The owner will be asked to walk towards one of the ghosts, and if the dog doesn’t take contact within 15 seconds, the ghost and the owner must talk to lure the dog, and after another 15 seconds the owner will be asked to unmask the ghost. If the dog then takes contact to the second ghost by itself, the moment will be stopped by the second ghost being unmasked – otherwise, the help with the second ghost will be as by the first. As soon as the dog takes physical contact with both ghosts, the moment will be completed, and in the table it’ll crossed when the dog takes contact.
