This test is to determine if the police service dog is capable of performing on and off lead obedience exercises. The test is designed to test the dog's ability and proficiency, and the handler's control of the dog. The K-9 team will perform the test in the presence of the agitator to give needed distractions.
Suggested because Police Service Dog Certification applies to Police and Sheriff's Patrol Officers. Confirm with the school that its curriculum covers this exam.
