Character test (Wesensbeuerteilung) information ZAP (Zuchtanlangenprüfung), BDT (Breed Disposition Test) Breed Disposition Test (BDT) Zuchtanlagenprüfung (ZAP) ZAP information video For clarity the Character Assessment (CAS - WB Wesensbeuerteilung) and ZAP are two completely separate disciplines. The confusion stems from the initial naming of the exercises ie. ZAP 1 and ZAP 2 which has now changed. The CAS is an assessment. In English Character Assessment. In German Wesensbeuerteilung. WB abbreviation on German pedigrees. (age 9-13 month) ZAP is a discipline with Tracking, Obedience and Protection. In English BDT Breed Dispoition Test. In German ZAP Zuchtanlangenprüfung (minimum age 18 month) ZAP is an exercise based on IGP1 but a simplified version theoretically encouraging those with less time to train the opportunity to gain the ZAP qualification to gain a Körung. There are currently no UK judges qualified to assess a ZAP test (BDT Test) The Breeding Disposition Test (BDT) Examination of work performance The examination is divided into NOSEWORK SECTION - with the following variants: tracking or search work OBEDIENCE SECTION POSITIONING, GUARDING AND DEFENCE SECTION Evaluation principles: In the individual sections, the overall performance of all given exercises is first assessed by the assessor. The findings on overall performance in the section are then recorded and announced in an individual statement described on the basis of the work shown by the dog. The emphasis of the assessment is on the way the dog acts with its handler, in particular on the abilities and dispositions of the dog presented. The point of the assessment is not to be more precise, higher, faster, further etc. The dogs performance is then described and stored on the SV database. For each individual section the dog is given a pass or fail. If all three individual sections are passed then the 'BDT' (ZAP) is awarded. In order to successfully pass the BDT the dog must achieve the following percentages in the required sections. NOSEWORK - at least 50% OBEDIENCE - at least 50% POSITIONING, GUARDING AND DEFENCE - at least 60% BDT Nosework tracking variant Exercise requirements Own track, at least 200 paces, 2 legs, 1 angle(90 degrees), 2 objects belonging to the handler (utility objects, inconspicuous in colour, with a maximum size of 5x10cm), at least 20 minutes old, finishing time 15 minutes. A voice command for 'search' The voice command for search is permitted at the beginning of tracking and when restarting after the first object or after a wrong find. At the end the assessor critiques the performance under the following headings and gives the mark pass or fail Scent detection 10% Finding and indicating 20% Tracking disposition work 70% At least 50% must be achieved to pass the exercise. BDT Nosework search variant A search area of 20 x 30 metres, walked by several people, 2 objects belonging to the handler (utility objects , inconspicuous in colour, with a maximum size of 5 x 10 cm), uniform material permitted. 1 object on the left, 1 object on the right, search time 10 minutes. Voice and visual commands are permitted. The voice command 'lost' may be supplemented by the voice command 'search' At the end the assessor critiques the performance under the following headings and gives the mark pass or fail. Search work detection 10% Finding and indicating 50% Search disposition work 40% At least 50% must be achieved to pass the exercise.

Overall obedience assessment For the BDT , the overall impression of all exercises in obedience should be described in four individual assessments. These are : teamwork, performance/technique, retrieving performance and jumping ability. In the assessment, the focus is on the dogs basic abilities and dispositions when interacting with the handler, how is technique, how does the dog retrieve and how does the dog jump. Obedience assessment breakdown Teamwork 25% Performance and technique 25% Retrieve 25% Jumps 25% At least 50% must be achieved to pass the exercise Positioning, guarding and defence Search for helper Hold and Bark Handling under stress Ambush on handler Confrontation at a distance General regulations Hides/blinds are to be provided in a suitable place. The necessary markings/ distances are to be determined by the assessor. Helpers/clothing The helper must be equipped with a protective suit, protection sleeve and a soft stick. The helper may only work when instructed by the assessor. The handler is free to decide on the manner in which they remove the soft stick from the helper during disarming. One or two helpers may be used during BDT tests. The same helper must be used for all handler within a BDT. A single change of helper is permitted if the helper themselves has an active dog at the event Exercise 1 Search for the helper. Starting in the basic position on the imaginary centre line, the handler takes their dog off leash and sends it in the direction of the helper's hiding spot with a a voice and a visual command. Voice command: one voice command for search Seek (Revere) Exercise 2 Hold and Bark The dog must corner the helper as soon as found, at the same time the dog must bark at the helper. On the assessors instruction the handler fetches or recals the dog to put it back on leash. Voice command: 'search' (Revere), ''Heel' (Fuss) Exercise 3 Handling under stress (exercise 3 & 4 short attack (slang) On the assessors instruction, the handler proceeds with their dog on leash from the hide where the hold and bark has finished to the marked spot for the start of the transport. The course of the transport is determined by the assessor. The transport is started out with the dog on leash to a ground marker about 25 paces away from the ambush point. At this point the dog is put in the basic position and unleashed. Leash either pocketed or hung over shoulder. Further transport with dog following freely in the direction of the ambush point. Voice command: one voice command for 'Heel' (Fuss) Exercise 4 Ambush on handler (exercise 3 & 4 short attack (slang) When the team is about 7 paces away on the assessors instruction the helper coming out of the hide ambushes the handler. On its own and without the handlers assistance the dog must thwart the ambush. The helper must push the dog in a straight line in a threatening manner for about 15 paces. On hearing the voice command, the dog must release the helper and guard them until it is retrieved. Voice command : one command for release 'Out' Exercise 5 Confrontation at a distance (long attack (slang) The handler proceeds with the dog on leash to the required starting point. The dog must be attentive to the helper. The collar of the dog may be held, but must not be stimulated by the handler. On the assessors command the helper comes out of the hide walks to the imaginary centre line and then makes a frontal attack on the dog handler. Upon assessors instruction the handler releases the dog with a voice command. The dog must thwart the attack by the helper. During the drive (stress phase) the dog must remain unimpressed. The helper stops on the assessors instruction. After the helper has stopped the dog must release on voice command and remain in a guarding position. At assessors instruction the handler walks at normal pace to the dog puts in the basic position and puts the leash on. The soft stick is taken from the helper. A short side transport of the helper to the assessor follows. The team stops in front of the assessor with the handler handing over the soft stick to the assessor. Voice command: one voice command for release 'Out' and for heelwork 'Heel' (Fuss). The dog is assessed in 5 areas and converted into an internal numerical score for the purpose of statistical evaluation. No points are awarded. In stead the working method and disposition of the dog are described. The focus is on the dogs abilities and dispositions when interacting with its handler. This means how does the dog work when searching and barking, how is its defensive behaviour when the handler is ambushed and how does the dog present itself whenconronted at a distance, how is the grip behaviour and how easy is the dog to handle under stress. Assessment of defence exercises Handling 10% searching and guarding 20% Ambush on handler 30% Confrontation at a distance 20% Grip behaviour At least 60% must be achieved to pass the exercise Termination/disqualification If a dog fails a defence exercise or allows itself to be displaced, the searching, guarding and defence exercises section is to be terminated. If a dog fails to release on the second additional command during a defence exercise or bites the helper outside the protection sleeve, the team is to be disqualified. At the conclusion of the discussion a pass or fail rating is given. Ligue des chiens de berger allemand de Grande-Bretagne

Apprentissage de la propreté Play biting Tolerance to touch Toilet training Puppy teeth Crate training Heatstroke Adolescence Nutrition Dogs and toys Dwarfism Dog friendly garden Christmas time Fireworks Quand les chiots doivent partir, ils doivent partir. Cela signifie généralement dès leur réveil, quelques minutes après chaque repas et à intervalles réguliers entre les deux. La seule préoccupation de votre chiot est de le faire loin de l'endroit où il mange et dort - il ne sait pas instinctivement que vous préféreriez qu'il sorte dehors. Si vous parvenez à vous consacrer à cette tâche avec une vigilance constante et beaucoup de patience, vous pourrez dresser votre chiot à la maison en quelques jours seulement. Commencez tout de suite Commencez dès que vous rentrez ensemble à la maison. Avec leur laisse, placez votre chiot sur du papier journal ou sur un tapis d'apprentissage de la propreté pour chiots ou, mieux encore, sur l'herbe à l'endroit du jardin que vous souhaitez qu'il utilise. Pour le chiot, trouver un endroit où aller aux toilettes est lié à l'odeur et en emmenant votre chiot au même endroit, il développera une association avec la zone désignée et se soulagera. Dites à votre chiot quoi faire, avec une commande comme « toilettes », attendez (attendez et attendez) jusqu'à ce qu'il parte, puis félicitez-le minutieusement et offrez-lui une délicieuse friandise. Surveillez le « Cercle et renifle » Chaque fois que vous voyez votre chiot commencer à tourner en rond et à renifler, passez à l'action. Faites-les sortir sur un journal ou un tapis d'apprentissage de la propreté pour chiots ou sur l'herbe et donnez-leur l'ordre, puis faites un suivi avec des éloges et une friandise. Ils voudront également aller aux toilettes après le jeu et les jeux, alors emmenez-les directement dehors. Soyez extrêmement patient Après quelques jours, ils comprendront l’idée et aboieront ou deux pour vous avertir. Assurez-vous simplement d'être extrêmement patient. Des accidents peuvent survenir, alors gardez une quantité généreuse de journaux ou de tapis pour chiots répartis dans la maison et nettoyez rapidement - toute odeur persistante encouragera un comportement répété. Lorsque vous êtes confronté à un accident et que vous êtes présent, mettez simplement le chiot dehors pendant que vous nettoyez. Châtir le chiot ne fera que l'amener à le faire dans un endroit où vous ne pourrez plus le trouver à l'avenir. Si vous constatez un accident et que vous n'étiez pas présent, nettoyez-le. Si vous châtiez le chiot, il ne comprendra pas pourquoi vous êtes de mauvaise humeur. Établissez leur horaire de toilette Vous saurez bientôt à quelle fréquence votre chiot doit sortir - en fonction de sa taille, cela peut être toutes les deux heures, toutes les heures ou toutes les demi-heures. S’ils semblent parfois ne rien faire d’autre que tourner en rond et renifler, vous devrez continuer à les emmener dehors jusqu’à ce qu’ils soient correctement habitués à la propreté. Cela peut être frustrant, mais au final, cela en vaut la peine. Ligue des chiens de berger allemand de Grande-Bretagne

Junior handling at WUSV/GSDL-BRG regional events. Ligue des chiens de berger allemand de Grande-Bretagne Manipulation junior La conduite junior est devenue de plus en plus populaire depuis sa première introduction lors des événements régionaux WUSV/GSDL-BRG. Les classes sont divisées en deux tranches d'âge. 6-11 et 12-16 Une liste distincte de questions a été créée pour chaque groupe d'âge et un certain nombre de ces questions sont posées à chaque jeune conducteur avant la présentation de son chien. (Cela s'est également avéré très éducatif en apprenant diverses parties du corps et le standard de la race du berger allemand). Chaque manieur junior présente ensuite le chien exactement de la même manière que pour toutes les autres classes. Les juges n'attendent pas la perfection et aident à éduquer le jeune pendant cette phase. Les premiers événements régionaux ont débuté en 2013 et ont vu se développer de nombreux jeunes manieurs, et les éleveurs et les exposants leur donnent la possibilité de se présenter dans les classes les plus compétitives. Annual top 10 awards Notre objectif est de donner un maximum de publicité à nos jeunes manieurs et de tous les promouvoir via le site Internet de la GSD League. Les parents de nos jeunes conducteurs peuvent-ils fournir leurs photos lors de la manipulation lors de divers événements. Ce faisant, vous autoriserez la publication des photos sur le site Web de GSDL. Contacter dinura@hotmail.co.uk

Santé et amp; le berger allemand D'une manière générale, le Berger Allemand est un chien robuste, fort et en bonne santé, très sociable et amical avec une bonne longévité. Ces faits s'appliqueraient certainement aux chiots achetés auprès d'éleveurs réputés qui se sont constamment efforcés, pendant plusieurs années, de tester la santé de leurs reproducteurs, en faisant particulièrement référence aux radiographies de la hanche et, plus récemment, du coude. Il est cependant inévitable que lorsque l'on discute de questions de santé, ce soient les problèmes associés à une race individuelle qui soient mis en avant et non la bonne santé générale de ladite race de chien. Une idée fausse très répandue parmi le grand public est que la position d'exposition du berger allemand contribue aux problèmes avec l'arrière-train, ce qui est complètement faux. En position pour l'exposition, le chien n'est placé que pendant une fraction du temps, peut-être 30 secondes, pendant que sa construction est évaluée. HANCHE et amp; SCHÉMAS DE COUDE BVA/KC HD et amp; ED - Le programme reconnu au Royaume-Uni, introduit et géré à l'origine par la GSD League, qui s'est désormais étendu pour inclure toutes les races. HD les scores vont de 0 à 53 sur chaque hanche, donnant des scores allant de 0 à 106. Plus le score est bas, meilleures sont les hanches. Les scores ED vont de 0 à 3 pour chaque coude, encore une fois, plus le score est bas, mieux c'est. Contrairement à la notation HD, la note maximale est de 3 au total. Les éleveurs réputés suivent les directives établies par le conseil de race GSD. Pour la HD, aucun score supérieur à 20 avec une différence ne dépassant pas 4 entre les deux côtés des hanches ne doit être utilisé pour la reproduction. Pour ED, aucun score supérieur à 1 ne doit être utilisé pour la reproduction. SV HD et amp; ED- Ce schéma. est exploité par le SV en Allemagne et, par l'intermédiaire du WUSV, est accepté et reconnu dans le monde entier. Les hanches et les coudes sont radiographiés et classés. Trois grades sont acceptables pour l'élevage, Normal, Fast Normal et Noch Zugelassen. Traduction – normale, presque normale et toujours acceptable.

Jouer à mordre Play biting Tolerance to touch Toilet training Puppy teeth Crate training Heatstroke Adolescence Nutrition Dogs and toys Dwarfism Dog friendly garden Christmas time Fireworks Physical games including play biting are natural games puppies play with each other and when you bring your puppy home he may try to play the same games with you. Pups which are highly motivated can charge at owners, jumping up, nip hands and bite and tug on clothes. If this is directed at a child who starts to cry or run or tries to push the pup away this may be misinterpreted by the puppy as being a playful response from the child who is now joining in the pup`s game. Trying to cope with the pups increasingly rough attempts to initiate play, demand and dictate play by giving and doing what it wants will make it more likely that the pup will increase its play biting to get what it wants in the future, which can soon become a never ending battle of nipping, biting and jumping up. Trying to hit or grab the pup will probably make him become rougher as to him you are responding and joining in his game or he may feel he has to defend himself against your increasing anger. It is very important to avoid the stimulation and excitement escalation that go with physical punishment or restraint. Resorting to distraction tactics during a play biting situation like throwing a ball or waving a piece of food in front of the pups face to end the nipping can actually reward the pups demanding behaviour and rough style of play. In fact is learning to be even more pushy when he wants to play or get attention because it always works. Just ignoring him whilst he continues to chew on your hand or grab your clothing or leaving the room while he changes his target to someone else or decides to have a wonderful time rearranging the cushions or pruning the house plants will be completely ineffective in changing his problem behaviour. Using any form of harsh punishment is also counter productive. It may indeed stop the biting attack at the time. However it holds no instruction to the puppy to encourage and develop more acceptable behaviour for the future. So what to do to control puppies masquerading as sharks. It is quite a common problem with pups displaying a varying degrees of the behaviour with some becoming more difficult to cope with especially for the companion dog owner. The relationship and bond that a dog has as a family companion is special with most puppies given sensible guidance early on, unruly behaviour gives way to a more controlled, calmer attitude as the pup grows up. But some are more persistent and intervention is needed to communicate to the puppy in a way it can understand amore more acceptable behaviour and relationship. One method is to use the consistent application of an interrupting sound to temporarily supress the problem behaviour every time it happens combined with an immediate procedure which encourages the puppy to engage in acceptable play or behaviour. There is an important difference in communication to the puppy which behaviour we want between using distraction tactics or interruption tactics. For example with distraction tactics the puppy is fully engaged in still chewing on your hand at the same time being rewarded for it because a toy or food is being offered to him. With interruption tactics he has stopped or not quite even started chewing on your hand before being offered the toy or food so he is now being rewarded for the behaviour we want "NO BITING" An interruption sound is most effective if it happens just before the pup launches a mouthing attack on hands or clothes. To do this carry or place around the house a noise making device such as a small container with some pebbles in which can be shaken to make a loud noise, or a commercially bought "pet corrector" which is a small cannister that gives off a loud hiss when the top is pressed-handy to keep in a pocket. The intention is to startle the pup not to hurt him. His reaction will be one of surprise on hearing the sound causing him to temporarily stop his actions. At this exact moment you must fill this moment of inaction (otherwise he will go back to whatever he was ding before) by encouraging the pup to play in a more acceptable way with a toy by wiggling or rolling a ball along the ground close to him, keeping his attention on the toy. If he shows interest in your hands again, quickly repeat the interrupting sound and re encage him onto the toy. With some puppies just a stern "ah ah" can interrupt an unwanted behaviour, before giving an incompatible behaviour to focus on, he cannot be tugging on a sleeve if he is being rewarded for a sit. Some experimentation may be needed here because of individual differences between pups in their reactions to various sounds. It should not be difficult to find something that is effective. The sound should be enough to stop the problem behaviour immediately and every time but not so severe the puppy becomes extremely fearful and reluctant to approach at all. Always remember once a problem behaviour is interrupted you must reward an acceptable behaviour immediately. The puppy must be able to associate his rough behaviour with the consequences the sound he finds unpleasant. Therefore he will learn that his action-nipping and biting causes a reaction the startle sound which he will want to avoid. The moment he starts to get too pushy and rough the interrupting sound will pin point the exact moment he must stop. Any lack of clarity or consistency on your part about the threshold he must not cross will make improvement in his behaviour very slow, because he will not understand what he can and cannot do. For the pup to learn to inhibit the force of any mouthing, bites or rough interaction you must be consistent with the timing of the interrupting sound and very importantly remain calm while showing the pup the behaviour he can engage in. It can take some time but the better you are the quicker he will learn. To satisfy the pups motivation to play and be active in the games you teach him, such as find the toy hidden just out of sight encouraging him to use his nose as well as his eyes. Make it easy to find to start with to keep him interested. Include mental stimulation of highly rewarded gentle obedience training. Call him to you, calmly tell him to sit then reward with a titbit or resume play interacting with a toy. Teach him to lie down, wait, come when called, there is so much your clever puppy can do, giving him a positive outcome for his energy. Just something to bear in mind when trying to stop play biting. In a litter of puppies all is peaceful as they sleep, but one is awake, bored and wants to play. So he rushes up, pounces on an unsuspecting litter mate and gives a sharp nip. The other puppy responds and chases the attacker. The game is on. The very game your pups previous taught him how to get you to play. For play biting to decrease it is also important to follow some general management rules. Adding more opportunities for the puppy to take part in controlled interesting physical and mental games (suitable for his age) where success can stimulate the rewards brain chemistry and change his emotions to be more relaxed, instead of driving everyone crazy with unruly behaviour and continuous pestering to play. No more games of rough and tumble encouraging the puppy to bite and grab hands. Always supervise young children with the puppy. If your puppy does something you don`t let it happen again. Plan the incompatible rewarding behaviour. Concentrate on conditioning a well behaved puppy. Notice and reward desired human - puppy interactions. Locating and joining a good puppy class can be extremely beneficial. If possible find a GSD club. Overtime as other suitable behaviours are reinforced with clear calm instructions the puppy will abandon rough play to gain attention or hard nipping to try to push the family as he would his litter mates. All puppies and households are different and any behaviour modification especially rough play biting is an on-going process and should be appropriate for the individual situation.
