CHAPTER 4 - OPEN - Section 7 - Command Discrimination
CHAPTER 4 OPEN Section 7. Command Discrimination. The principal features of this exercise are the dog’s correct response to the handler’s first commands and/or signals and that the dog stays until the handler returns to heel position. The orders are: “Leave your dog” and “Back to your dog.” The judge must use signals for directing the handler to command and/or signal the dog to change position except for the first position and that order is: “Stand your dog” { always the command in Open A} or “Down your dog.”
