heel position) will begin by heeling 15 paces and will halt.( the
dog should automatically sit). After a brief moment they will be instructed
to continue heeling, to an area about 10 paces away were there will
be chairs, tables, bench's and tables. (there maybe a single chair or a
collaboration of chairs, bench's and tables) the handler will sit on a
designated seat and put there dog in a down or sit ( this will be lift
up to the handlers discretion). After which time a nice guy will approach
the team and sit next to the handler (on the opposite side of the
dog) Have a few nice words and then leave. The dog must stay in his sit
or down. There will be a second decoy and he will not be so friendly. He

object on the ground. The decoys objective will be to try and remove
the article that is placed near the team ,without the dog touching him
.The teams objective is not to allow the decoy to get the object . The
decoy will have about 20 seconds to try and get the object that has been
placed by the team. If the bad guy is successful in obtaining the article,
the team will loose all points. Once the 20 seconds is done the decoy will
flee and the handler will heal the dog off the field. end of exercise.
All scenarios are
approximate. Due to locations and field size. The scenarios cannot be duplicated
exactly. The above scenarios are a solid rough draft of what you will expect
at any given trial.Your team should be prepared to adequately adapt to
any changes that may occur. The I.P.D.L. will make each trial as fear as
possible, this is why the scenarios are posted prior to each trial.
Each handler / dog team who is
successful in both phases will earn an International Protection Dog League
(IPDL) "B" Title!
