WHAT BH IS?

Click to EnlargeGallery

BH is Begleithund which meaning Companion Dog Test. The BH is a pass/fail test of the dog's general obedience and traffic steadiness. The judges who officiate in a BH trial are NOT "point judges". While the dog must obtain the required points to pass, the judges are looking for the overall picture of the exercises.

The BH is the first step in Schutzhund. The minimum age for the BH trial is 12 months. Once a dog has attained this title, it can proceed on to compete in the regular Schutzhund levels (minimum entry age for Schh1 is 18 months) and is also able to try for the FH (tracking) title (minimum entry age 16 months).
There are two parts to the BH. The first is an obedience test done on the schutzhund field. The second is a traffic sureness/temperament test.

In order to earn the title, BH, the dog must obtain at least 70 percent of the available points in the obedience test. The dog and handler may then proceed to the traffic test. In the traffic testing, there are no points..the dog will either pass or fail.

TEMPERAMENT TEST
The first test that the judge will do is to evaluate the dog's temperament. A judge can tell a lot from this basic evaluation. It may be as simple as the judge coming over to each dog/handler team, shaking hands with the handler and checking the dog's tattoo. The dog that shows a steady temperament in this "check" will usually also do okay in the final temperament testing.


OBEDIENCE Total 60 points. (passing score is a minimum of 70%)
The exercises are done in groups of two dogs/handlers. Both teams report to the judge and state their name, their dogs name and that they are trialling for the BH. The judge then directs each team to their appropriate locations. While one team is performing the heeling exercises, the other team is doing the long down.

Long Down - 10 points
The handler heels her dog to a designated spot just to the side of the field. The handler sits the dog, waits until the judge is ready, then removes the leash and commands the dog to platz. The handler then walks away from the dog about 30 paces and remains standing with her back to the dog in that location for the duration of the other team's exercises. The dog must remain quietly in the down position until released by the handler. Points are deducted for the dog moving restlessly,sitting, standing up, or moving up to 3 metres from his "down" spot (GSSCC Rule book page 40). The dog may fail if it moves farther than 3 metres from the original position.
On a signal from the judge the handler returns to the dog and stands in basic position beside the dog. The handler looks to the judge and then commands the dog to "sitz". The dog must remain down until the handler gives the "sitz" command. The handler then snaps the leash on and heels the dog to the start position to commence their obedience routine or to the judge for the critique if the team has already completed their obedience routine.

Heeling on-leash (15 pts):
The handler starts this and every exercise in the basic position. with the dog sitting straight on the left side next to the handler with the right shoulder blade at knee height. The handler may take this position only once for each exercise. If the judge tells you not to wait for his signal before starting, wait approximately 3 seconds after assuming basic position before giving the command to heel.
The handler must hold the leash loosely in the left hand. The leash should be connected to the dead ring of a choke (fur saver) collar. Leather and prong collars are NOT permitted.
The handler commands the dog to "fuss" (handler may also use alternate commands such as "heel") and walks 40-50 paces without stopping. The dog should move with the handler joyfully and attentively, staying on the left side of the handler with his shoulder blade even with the handlers leg. The handler then makes an about turn (this must be the German about turn where the handler turns left into the dog). The dog should turn with the handler quickly and stay close to the handler. Points are deducted for wide or lagging turns.
The dog and handler heel 10-15 paces at regular speed, then 10-15 paces fast, then 10-15 paces slow and 10-15 paces regular. The "fuss" or "heel" command may be given at the beginning of each change of pace.
The dog and handler then make a right turn, heel 20 paces, make another right turn, heel 20 paces, make an about turn, heel 10-15 paces and stop. The dog must sit quickly in basic position beside the handler. They then heel 10-15 paces and make a left turn. They will then proceed directly into the group.
The handler and dog heel into a group of 4-5 people. They must make at least one left turn and one right turn around at least 2 people and stop(sit) close to one of the group. This is basically a figure 8. They then heel out of the group, stop (handler may praise dog) and remove the leash.

Off-leash Heeling(15 pts)
This exercise is the same as the on-leash exercise except the group heeling is done first. During the heeling out 40 paces, as the dog is heeling away, a gunshot is fired twice at approximately a 5 seconds interval. The dog may react to the gunshot but must not show fear. The judge at this time is also evaluating the reaction to the gunshot of the dog in the long down. If there is any doubt the judge may require a third gunshot to be fired while the dog is still heeling away.

Sit out of motion (10 pts)
The handler and dog start in basic position. The handler heels the dog 10-15 paces at a normal pace. She then commands the dog to "sitz" and continues walking for 30 paces away from the dog. The dog must sit quickly and remain sitting. The handler turns and faces the dog. At a signal from the judge (or after a 3 second pause), the handler returns to the dog and stands in basic position. The handler then heels the dog back to the start.

Down with recall (10 pts)
The handler heels the dog 10-15 paces, commands the dog to "platz" and continues walking for at least 30 paces. The dog must down quickly and remain calmly in the down. The handler turns and stands with feet together and hands at side. At the judge's signal (or after a 3 second pause), the handler calls the dog. The handler usually calls "Hier" but may also use other commands such as "come" or the dog's name. If the handler uses the dog's name, she may not also say "hier" or "come". The dog must run quickly to the handler and sit straight in front. At the judges signal or after a 3 second pause, the handler then gives the finish command ("fuss"). The dog must go quickly to the basic position. The dog may go around the handler or do a flip(military) finish.


Traffic Steady Test
This part of the BH test is to ensure that the dog is steady and sure under traffic conditions. This test is done in various conditions depending on the location of the trial and the judge's preference. As noted above, each of the tests must be completed but it is the judge's discretion as to how they are done.
1. The handlers walk their dogs on loose leashes along a roadway where there is moving traffic. The dog must not show fear or avoidance of the vehicles. The dog should behave impartially towards all pedestrians and traffic. 2. As the dogs are walking along the road, they will be overtaken by a cyclist who rings his bell several times. They may also be overtaken by a motorist who honks the car horn as he passes the dogs.
People Test
Another exercise involves the handler shaking hands with one or more people, including the judge. The dog must remain calm.
The judge may also require the handler to move through more congested groups of people and may include a sit and a down in the group. The dog must respond quickly and quietly and must move willingly and attentively and quietly with his handler. It is also possible that the handler will be required to leave the dog on one side of a group of people, walk to the other side and call the dog through the group.
Non-aggression to Other Dogs
In this test the dog must show that it is non-aggressive to other dogs when left alone.
One at a time, the handlers will tie their dog to a designated location and without giving any commands, move out of sight. The judge will usually wait one minute. A passerby (staged) with a non-aggressive dog on leash will walk past the tied out dog. The dog will pass at a safe distance of about 5 paces. The tied dog must remain calm and show no aggression towards the other dog.
The judge may then ask for a person to jog past the tied dog or for pedestrians to walk past or push a shopping cart past the dog. In all exercises the tied dog must remain calm and show no aggression.
Another method of doing this is for the dog to be tied out and the other handlers heel their dogs past the tied out dog, coming no closer than 5-10 paces.

The dog that passes these tests will be awarded the title BH and is now ready to proceed on in his/her Schutzhund work.
