Once again, the flock shall be the first in place, and then the owner and the testmanager comes trough the flock. The owner walks in a straight line towards a marked place. When they are next to a certain place, a big chain will be pulled over a wavy tinplate. It makes a lot of noise in about 2 seconds. When the noise begins, the owner must immediately drop the leash on the ground, stop and turn against the noise and look at that direction. Then you can see, how the dog reacts in the same way like the workingsuit. However, here is only described scare reactions and curiosity. If the dog can’t manage to search itself, help will be given, and as last way out you will bring the dog back, and try to lure it forward in the leash.
Abreaction: Just like by the workingsuit, the owner and the dog will afterwards walk three rounds back and forth, to see if there are any remaining fear in the dog. This will also be described in the table. |
