Before a dog can be tested in their first SCHH title, they must first have= a BH. The BH is partially a temperament test as well as obedience. THe first exercise the dog does is tracking. The judge determines the dog= 's temperament PRIOR to tracking that day. In other words, the friendly stra= nger test occurs. If the dog shows signs of FEAR or AGGRESSION, they are not permit= ted to test. The dog must on one day pass all THREE parts of the test. Protection dog training is quite different. So is French Ring, Mondo and = other sports. Sport dogs are different than protection dogs.
