Notes: Group "B"

The performance of athletes in group "B" is a test for dogs in the "Big Ring" with the issuance of diplomas. Diplomas in the discipline "Big Ring" are given to dogs that have scored at least61 points. Diplomas in the "Big Ring" do not have degrees.

In group "B" passing points for exercises are cancelled. The total amount of points scored by the athlete is taken into account.

In group "B"

I stage. Dogs work only on a leash.

II stage. The decoy fires only one shot.

III stage. Helpers do not intimidate dogs with rattles, but only indicate a threat.

IV stage. Hits with a stack on a dog are not applied.

At all stages of group "B" the decoys work gently, taking the dogs on a bent arm.

The task is not to reveal the courage and fighting spirit of dogs, but to determine the level of their training.

Changes in the Competition Rules were approved by the RKF Presidium on November 2, 2006.

Highlighted in bold text on the text Rules come into force on January 1, 2007.

Does your dog need behavior modification?

Behavior Correction is necessary for the dog in the following cases:

• dog aggression (toward family members, other dogs, unreasonable aggression towards strangers);
• phobias and fears (fear of dogs, people, fear of separation, the street, loud noises, certain situations);
• the dog is not able to calmly stay alone at home;
• problems of everyday behavior (destructive behavior: the dog gnaws things, furniture, shoes, tail or paws, urination and defecation at home, begging, stealing, etc.)
• disobedience of the dog (correction of skills is required);
• bad behavior on a walk (the dog pulls the leash, runs away, is uncontrollable in the presence of other dogs, picks up from the ground, etc.);
• "causeless" barking of a dog;
• obsessive states and obsession with something (constantly licking objects or himself, running after his tail, looking for a removed toy for hours, etc.);
• constant anxiety (the dog constantly whines, worries, hides behind the owner, trembles, etc.);
• appetite disorders (anorexia, eating inedible objects, coprophagia, etc.)

How to correct your dog's behavior on your own?

Practice shows that successful cases of behavior modification by the owner are rare, but deterioration in the behavior of dogs after self-correction is observed in almost 90% of cases, and sometimes to such an extent that the owner can no longer keep the dog.

Deviant (deviant) behavior can be caused by various reasons, so it is important that the owner deals with the correction of the dog's behavior under the guidance of a specialist who will understand the causes of the behavior and select the appropriate methods to eliminate or minimize it. For example, aggression in dogs can be hierarchical, territorial, parental, food, play, hunting, defensive, conditional (instrumental), or generally be one of the signs of the disease. Correction will depend on the type of aggression, and the methods of correcting the dog's behavior will vary, even to the opposite.

What is the beginning of the correction of the behavior of the dog?

First of all, it is necessary to exclude medical prerequisites, that is, to make sure that the dog is healthy. For example, pissing all over the apartment can be caused by urinary tract disease, aggression is sometimes due to the pain experienced by a sick animal, and compulsive picking up from the ground can be caused by poor absorption of nutrients. The dog handler is not a veterinarian, but he can tell you in which cases you need to see a doctor, and in which the dog needs behavior correction.

It is also necessary to check whether you feed and maintain the dog properly. An unbalanced diet can cause a variety of unwanted behaviors, from compulsive picking up from the ground and eating inedible objects, to behavioral problems due to changes in the dog's nervous system (yes, the wrong diet can cause such changes).

Where do behavioral problems in dogs come from?

• Many problems start because the owner does not know about some aspects of keeping the dog or deliberately ignores the need for changes in the walking or feeding regimen. For example, all dogs should be able to satisfy their need for physical activity, but the German Shepherd and the English Bulldog have completely different levels of this need. Therefore, if you lead a calm lifestyle and do not like long active walks, the German Shepherd is not your breed.
• One of the most common causes of various deviations in behavior is that the owner does not pay enough attention to the upbringing, development of the dog, and its socialization. If the dog in puppyhood did not communicate with other dogs, if the dog does not walk or walks for 20 minutes a day, expect behavioral problems for it. If you have never limited your beloved dog in anything, be prepared for neuroses and / or dominant behavior. If you are a supporter of dog suppression and harsh forceful influences for any reason - do not expect the dog to respect you, trust you and obey you, instead expect running away on walks, neuroses and aggression due to self-defense. By the way, since we are talking about this, there are no breeds whose representatives need to be “suppressed in their youth, otherwise they will gobble up” and “break” at some age. You need to consistently and competently educate the dog from the first day of the appearance in your house, and then the dog's behavior correction is simply not needed.
• It also happens that the owner interprets the absolutely normal behavior of the dog as deviant. For example, the owner of a 4-month-old male American Staffordshire Terrier turned to us because his dog did nothing to protect him during simulated attacks on the owner on a walk. The owner, not knowing anything about the psychology of dogs, considered that she needed behavior correction.
• Often behavioral problems arise due to the fact that the owner does not give the dog the opportunity to satisfy the natural needs of nature. Our task is to tell you at the consultation about the needs of the dog, about how to give it the opportunity to satisfy them in a way that is acceptable to us, what consequences await a dog that is unable to satisfy one or another need. For example, a predator has a highly developed food-producing need (not to be confused with food). Most often this is manifested by picking up from the ground. It is impossible to simply take and turn off this need, which means that you need to come up with a way to satisfy it that is safe for the dog. This can be training with treats, games to find treats, and so on.
• Another reason for dog problems is the psychological attitudes of the owner. If the owner has some beliefs about how the dog should behave, but for some reason it does not behave this way, this leads to dissatisfaction with the dog, the dog, in turn, feeling the owner’s displeasure, falls into a state of anxiety, acquires behavioral problems. The classic example is "the dog must protect me because he is a dog." Our task is to explain what dog behavior is achievable and what is not, how to get the desired behavior from the dog.
• If the owner is aggressive, morally unstable, anxious, one should not expect balance and calm behavior from his dog.
• Often dogs come with neuroses that have developed due to the inconsistency of the owners in their upbringing. For example, yesterday I was in a good mood, and I let the dog lie on the couch. And today I have troubles at work, and the dog that climbed onto the sofa was severely expelled from there and punished. Such things disorientate the dog, she ceases to understand what is possible and what is not, what place she occupies in the family, as a result, we get anxiety, and then it all depends on individual characteristics - for example, a dog can start dismantling an apartment.

And this, of course, is not all the reasons.

How can you prevent behavior problems in your dog?

Keep the dog, taking into account its needs, socialize correctly and in a timely manner, develop, load both the body and the brain, and educate.

If the puppy is properly selected, adequately raised, and kept taking into account his physical and mental needs, the risk of behavioral deviations, and hence the need for subsequent behavioral correction, is practically absent.

Prevention of behavioral problems starts with choosing the right puppy.

A little about needs. A dog is a social animal, it must communicate and interact with other dogs. She must explore the environment, collect information about the world. She should move as much as she needs, depending on the breed, age, temperament, state of health. In addition to physical activity, you need to load the dog's brain - set various tasks for it, engage in training, educational and search games. Be sure to visit a variety of places, to acquaint with a large number of irritants. Only in this way will we get a healthy, stress-resistant, mentally developed, self-confident dog. It is impossible to expect normal behavior from a dog that has been walking the same route for years, on a short leash and wearing a muzzle.

What else does the owner of a "difficult" dog need to know?

Remember that a dog never does anything out of revenge or out of harm, in our understanding of these words. That she has no guilt. That she cannot evaluate events and her behavior according to the principle of "good - bad." She is either pleased or unpleasant, her behavior is either effective or ineffective.

The sooner you start working on your dog's behavior problems, the better the prognosis. Sometimes the correction of the dog's behavior stretches for months, but it is better to work on these months in order to subsequently provide yourself and the dog with a decent life together. After all, an animal that is in a state of anxiety, fear, aggression thus shows you that it is bad for him, that he needs help. Fear, anxiety, constant aggression are unnatural states for an animal. So love your dogs, and contact the experts in a timely manner.

COMPETITION RULES FOR THE RUSSIAN RING

I. RUSSIAN RING

"Russian Ring" is a sport with service and sport dogs in a complicated protective service. The Russian Ring makes very high demands on the protective qualities of the dog, on the firmness of its character and the stability of the psyche. At the same time, it is preferable to have dogs that are active, courageous, attacking, working freely, withstanding pressure from the helper and MANDATORY manageable. RR competitions are held to identify the strongest pairs of trainers with dogs.

Competitors perform four exercises:

1. Test of obedience;

2. Protection from one attacker;

3. Defense against two attackers;

4. Defense against three attackers.

Competitions are held according to the “mastershaft” principle: each of the exercises has several options for complications and the final decision on the content of the competition is made by the Main Expert Team (GEB) of the competition one hour before the start of the competition by drawing lots of options.

Participants who scored at least 50% of the maximum score during the previous exercise are allowed to each exercise, and the passing score for exercise No. 3 is determined by the decision of the GEB.

Individual-team championship reveals the winners and prize-winners:

in a personal account;

in the team standings.

Competitions are held in groups "A" and "B". Group "A" (individual-team championship) includes athletes with more than 31 points in the report card. Group "B" (individual classification) includes all athletes who have an athlete's report card. Only athletes with a report card are allowed to all RR competitions.

Moreover, the interval between performing all exercises (except for No. 1 and No. 2) should be at least 10 minutes.

When registering, participants are given numbers under which they must perform in competitions.

1.3. The order of the competition

An hour before the start of the competition, the Chief Expert conducts a draw of exercise options, which is attended by GEB members and representatives of the teams.

By the beginning of the competition, a summary information sheet is prepared indicating all the participants, which then reflects their results.

The competitions begin with the general construction of the participants, on which the conditions for performing the exercises are brought up, the GEB and the panel of experts are introduced.

The decision of the Chief Expert on all matters is final.

The expert-informer (deputy chief expert) calls the participants to the start line in ascending order of numbers, announces the beginning and end of the exercise and its results, controls the actions of the participants and assistant experts, assists the Chief Expert in the work.

The Chief Secretary manages the work of the secretariat, controls the entries in the accounting documentation, is responsible for the correct calculation of the points scored and the determination of the places taken.

The line expert evaluates the performance of the exercise in accordance with the Competition Rules and, at the instruction of the informant expert, shows the result.

The expert at the participants ensures the readiness for the start of the next participant, monitors compliance with the Rules of Conduct for the competition and order at the start line.

The expert timekeeper, in accordance with the Rules of the competition, counts the time intervals.

4.2. Exercise evaluation

Each participant's exercise is evaluated by five (three) line experts.

The maximum score for the exercise is 10 points, for completing exercise No. 4 - 20 points.

Each of the five (three) experts, guided by the Rules of the competition, accrue penalty points to the participant, which, according to the table, are then deducted from the maximum score.

The final mark for the exercise is determined as follows: five marks of experts are registered by the Secretariat of the competition, after which the maximum and minimum are discarded from them, and the average score is calculated from the remaining three.

The result of the competitor is determined by summing up the average points received for the performance of each of the exercises.

Individual championship is determined by the maximum result of the participant in the competition. The distribution of places is carried out according to the points scored. Note: in case of equality of points, preference is given to the athlete who scored the highest score for exercise No. 4. In case of equality of points for exercise No. 4, the advantage is determined by exercise No. 3, then exercise No. 2 has the advantage.

Teams consisting of four participants take part in the team competition. The marks of the three best team members are taken into account.

The winner of the team championship is determined by the sum of points scored by the three best team members in the individual championship.

The competitor shall immediately release the dog for detention. The dog must enter into a fight with the attacker and repel the attack, making a confident and energetic grip. The way the dog fights doesn't matter. In case of termination or absence of the grip, the helper continues to attack the participant (if the helper touched the participant before the grip - a penalty of 10 points).

Option 2. "Front attack".

The participant stands at the start line and holds the dog by the collar. At the command of the EI, the helper approaches the participant from the shelter, attracts the attention of the dog, turns around and runs away towards the flag 3. Having not reached the flag 5-10 steps, the helper raises his hand. At this point, the contestant releases the dog for detention. After running two or three steps with a raised hand, the decoy turns around, runs at the dog frontally, accompanying the attack with threatening cries and movements. The dog must repel the attack by immediately fighting the helper and holding him with a vigorous grip. The way you fight doesn't matter.

From the moment of the grip, the decoy begins to move in opposition to the dog or rotate in place and inflicts three hits on the body with the stack.

On the command of the EI “stop”, the decoy stops and stops any actions. On the same command, the participant recalls the dog and takes it by the collar.

Option 3. "Detention of the evader."

EXERCISE 3. DEFENSE FROM TWO ATTACKERS.

Option 1. "Cutoff".

The participant goes to the start line and takes the dog by the collar. At the signal of the EI, helper No. 1 appears from the shelter, attracts the attention of the dog, runs along the shortest path to flag 3. After the helper appears from the shelter, the participant immediately releases the dog for detention. Helper No. 1 must run to the zone of passivity and stop there, regardless of the nature of the dog's actions.

Immediately after the dog has crossed the cover line, helper #2 runs around the cover and attacks the competitor. If the dog did not have time to make contact with helper No. 2, then the latter imitates blows to the participant with a special stack with a frequency of once per second (but not more than 10 blows).

The dog is not required to detain helper no. 1, but must pursue him purposefully. The dog must prevent or stop the attack on the participant of the helper No. 2 with its grip. The dog's fighting style does not matter.

From the moment of the grip, the decoy begins to move in opposition to the dog or rotate in place and strikes it with a stack on the body.

If the dog loses contact with helper No. 2, he is obliged to continue hitting the participant.

On the command of the EI “stop”, the decoy stops and stops any actions. On the same command, the participant recalls the dog and takes it by the collar.

Option 2. "Parallel steps."

The participant goes to the start line and takes the dog by the collar. On a signal from the EI, two decoys come out of the shelter from different sides and move towards the owner, DEMONSTRATED WITH A THREAT.

On a signal from the EI, the dog is sent for detention.

After the dog has chosen an object for attack, i.e. MANDATORY made a grip on the helper (the strength and quality of the grip is NOT JUDGED), the helper who has not been attacked (from this moment Helper No. 2) attacks the participant. Helper No. 1 is obliged to remain still, regardless of the nature of the dog's actions.

The participant, remaining in place, has the right to switch the dog's attention to helper No. 2 in any way, but must not cross the start line, and also move outside the circle.

If the dog did not have time to make contact with helper No. 2, then he imitates blows to the participant with a stack with a frequency of once per second (but not more than 10 blows).

The way the dog fights doesn't matter. When the dog enters the fight with helper No. 2, holding him back with a grip, the latter starts moving in opposition to the dog or rotating in place and strikes it with a special stack on the body. If the dog loses contact with helper No. 2, he is obliged to continue hitting the participant.

On the command of the EI “stop”, the decoy stops and stops any actions. On the same command, the participant recalls the dog and takes it by the collar.

Option 3. "Deuce in the shelter."

The participant goes to the start line, puts the dog down and takes it by the collar. One of the defendants is near the shelter. After the report of the athlete about the readiness to start the exercise, the helper demonstrates threatening behavior and goes into cover. At the signal of the expert-informant, the dog is allowed to be detained. After the dog finds the helper, he attacks it, takes three steps towards it, regardless of the nature of the dog's actions. The dog must make hard contact with helper no. 1 using any manner of arrest. ATTENTION: the quality of the grip must be evaluated.

During the fight, decoy No. 1, attacking the dog, tries to force it out of the shelter zone. If the dog makes a bite, then helper No. 1 stops and stops all actions. At this moment, decoy No. 2 runs around the cover and, moving on the arc farthest from the dog, attacks the participant. If the dog did not have time to make contact with him, then he imitates blows to the participant with a stack with a frequency of once per second (but not more than 10 blows).

The participant has the right to switch the attention of the dog to helper No. 2 in any way, but must not cross the start line, as well as move beyond the circle line.

The dog must stop the attack of helper No. 1, return to the participant and repel the attack of helper No. 2 with a bite. The dog’s fighting style does not matter.

When the dog enters the fight with helper No. 2, holding him back with a grip, the latter starts moving in a counter-movement to the dog or rotating in place and hits him with a stack on the body.

If the dog loses contact with helper No. 2, he is obliged to continue hitting the participant.

On the command of the EI “stop”, the decoy stops and stops any actions. On the same command, the participant recalls the dog and takes it by the collar.

EXERCISE 4. DEFENSE FROM THREE ATTACKERS.

Option 1. "Triangle".

The participant goes to the start line and takes the dog by the collar. Three figurants are located at the vertices of an isosceles triangle. Figures No. 1 and No. 3 are at a distance of 8 m on both sides of the participant on the start line. Helper No. 2 is directly in front of the participant in the near zone of activity at a distance of 8 m from him. (The participant is NOT FORBIDDEN to turn the dog around and turn himself in the direction of helper No. 1).

Sequencing

At the signal of the EI, the participant with the dog is attacked by helper No. 1. The dog is immediately taken into custody. The participant remains in place. If the helper is chosen incorrectly by the dog, he assumes the functions of helper No. 1. Further, the roles (numbers) of helpers are distributed from the helper chosen by the dog (from now on No. 1) clockwise.

After the dog makes hard contact with helper no. 1, helper no. 2 attacks the participant and starts hitting him with a special soft stack at a frequency of once per second. The dog must release helper No. 1 and attack helper No. 2. If the dog does not contact helper No. 2, he must continue to strike the participant with a special stack. After the dog has made hard contact with helper No. 2, it is attacked by helper No. 3 and begins to strike with a special stack with a frequency of once per second. The blow must be delivered with a swing from the forearm. The dog must switch to helper number 3, who then stops hitting it.

The participant has the right to switch the attention of the dog in any way. If the dog does not bite, then helper No. 1 stops when he reaches the competitor. This ends the arrest. If the dog, having switched to helper No. 3, does not bite, then after taking five steps towards the dog, he stops. On this, the detention stops and is regarded as a lack of grip.

On the command of the EI “stop”, the decoy stops and stops any actions. On the same command, the participant recalls the dog and takes it by the collar.

Option 2. "Three in the shelter."

The participant goes to the start line and takes the dog by the collar. Helper No. 1 is located next to the shelter. Attracting the attention of the dog with threatening actions, the helper goes to the shelter, where there are two other helpers. On a signal from the EI, the dog is allowed to be detained.

Sequencing

After the dog finds helper No. 1, he attacks her. The dog must make hard contact with helper no. 1 using any manner of arrest. Helper No. 1 is obliged to "bring" the dog out of the shelter area and stop attacking.

Helper no. 2 is obliged to attack the dog after helper no. 1 has stopped the attack. If the dog does not switch attention to helper No. 2, then he strikes her with a stack of blows with a frequency of once per second. From the moment the dog has made contact with helper no. 2, he stops hitting her and "leads" the dog into the hiding area.

After the dog has attacked helper No. 2, helper No. 3, moving in a far arc, runs around the cover and attacks the participant, simulating blows with a stack at a frequency of once per second. The participant has the right to switch the attention of the dog to helper No. 3 in any way, but must not cross the start line, and also move beyond the circle line. If the dog loses contact with the helper No. 3, he is obliged to continue striking the participant.

On the command of the EI “stop”, the decoy stops and stops any actions. On the same command, the participant recalls the dog and takes it by the collar.

Option 3. "Far three".

The participant goes to the start line and takes the dog by the collar. At the signal of the EI, helper No. 1 appears from the shelter and, attracting the attention of the dog, runs along the shortest path to flag 3. After helper No. 1 appears from behind the shelter, the participant immediately releases the dog for detention.

Sequencing

Having reached flag 3, decoy No. 1 turns around. After the dog approaches him at 1 m, he attacks her, takes three steps towards him and stops, regardless of the nature of the dog's actions. The dog must make hard contact with helper no. 1 using any manner of arrest.

After the dog grabs helper no. 1, helper no. 2 runs out of cover and attacks her. If the dog did not turn its attention to helper No. 2, he strikes it with a special stack with a frequency of once per second. From the moment the dog has made contact with helper no. 2, the latter stops hitting her. If the dog does not bite, the helper stops after taking five steps. On this, the detention stops and is assessed as a lack of grip.

After the dog has attacked the helper No. 2, the helper No. 3, moving along the arc farthest from the dog, runs around the cover and attacks the participant, imitating hits with a special stack at a frequency of once per second. The participant has the right to switch the attention of the dog to helper No. 3 in any way, but must not cross the start line, and also move beyond the circle line. If the dog loses contact with helper No. 3, he is obliged to continue hitting the participant.

On the command of the EI “stop”, the decoy stops and stops any actions. On the same command, the participant recalls the dog and takes it by the collar.

Note:

For all variants of exercise No. 4, after the helper of the next sequential number has entered the fight, the helper who is in contact with the dog must stop the activity.

In the event of the dog switching ahead of time to the helper of the next serial number, the helper who is in contact with the dog must stop the activity.

During the execution of options No. 2, No. 3, decoys No. 1 and No. 3 do not have the right to strike the dog; during the execution of option No. 1, decoys No. 1 and No. 2 do not have the right to hit the dog.

The first blow to the dog, inflicted by the decoy, when attacking it, is not penalized.

Calculation of penalty points

1. Termination of the grip as a result of the resistance of the helper - 6 points

2. Arbitrary, incorrect order of repelling an attack - 4 points

3. Uncertain, cautious grip - 3 points

4. Termination and resumption of the grip as a result of the helper's resistance - 3 points

5. Sluggish, inactive, formal fight with the helper - 2 points

6. Formal work: stopping the grip after the helper stops (the EI command “stop”) before the participant’s command; premature switching to the helper of the next number - 2 points

Note. Formal work, if necessary, is evaluated on each person involved.

7. Mechanical impact of the trainer to stop the dog's grip - 2 points

8. "Grab" - a decrease in the depth of capture as a result of the resistance of the helper, switching to another part of the body. With a good grip, “grabbing” towards the recess is not penalized - 1 point

9. Dog recall for more than 10 sec. after the EI command “stop” - 1 point for each second

10. Incorrect eating (the dog generally shows poor handling) - 1 point

Violation of generally accepted rules of conduct.

If an athlete is disqualified for these reasons, all points previously received by him will be canceled.

“Russian Ring is a domestic type of competition in which the dog works independently against one, two, three decoys. Competition is a good way to demonstrate how ready a dog is for serious work.”

Russian Ring is one of the most popular dog sports today.

In countries such as France, Belgium, etc. there are national types of so-called "ring" training, which has nothing to do with preparing a dog for an exhibition. For example, in Belgium - the Belgian Ring is a very tough and spectacular kind of cynological sport, where at major competitions some of the spectators "cheer" for the helper, the other for the dog. In Russia, Russian and Big Ring have recently become popular, between which there is very little difference, as well as Mondiering.

Mondiering contains, in my opinion, more obedience exercises than our domestic Rings. But in any case, ring training is a mandatory fight between a dog and a helper. And not with one. Therefore, the competitions are so spectacular and dynamic that they gather a lot of spectators and participants.

The most interesting thing is that East European Shepherd Dogs perform well on ring training competition. Everyone knows the Champion of Moscow and Russia Elena Skripova, who competed with Hit-Iris-Olvid-Yan (Yanysh-Dey; Vlasta-Yuna), this dog, by the way, was obtained in our club), Larisa Krepkova, who competed first with Viking, and then with his son Lika. Moreover, in addition to ring training, both of her dogs were also champions and prize-winners in OKD and ZKS. Marina Lastochkina with Ital-Puma-Kurt. Wulf-White-Art, the brother of the famous Wilma-White-Art, worked very well. Wulf even received a prize from the team of defendants as the most combative dog.

Now Zorina Marina with her son NIGUR - SHREK is moving forward to victories in major competitions. So far, they have their first victory in the qualifying competition behind them. Shrek is still very young, and they still have everything ahead of them.

I especially want to note that VEOs really perform excellently in this sport: spectacular, powerful and plastic. It must be borne in mind that in order to participate in the Russian Ring, a dog must have an excellent psyche, as well as combativeness (desire to fight), courage, assertiveness, excellent controllability, the processes of excitation and inhibition must be balanced. All these qualities are described in the breed standard. Many articles have been written about "breeders" from cynology. The disunity and unprofessionalism of those involved in breeding brings great harm to the breed. As a result, there are more and more dogs with an unstable psyche, timid dogs, cowardly-spiteful, with no desire to learn, etc.

The worst thing is that breeding animals are not always monitored mentally, and even worse that such dogs give offspring.

It's been a year since the National Club of the East European Shepherd Dog Breed (NKP VEO) introduced livestock testing. This is already a step forward in the selection of producers. I would like the cynologists to pay more attention to the quality of the nervous system of producers, not being afraid to cull dogs that are weak in this respect.

Currently, there is no need to use a conformation dog with non-standard behavior - the market is saturated with puppies enough, work with lines and families continues. And dogs with an unstable psyche have not so much to train as to adapt to normal life. It’s a pity for the owners who are well aware of what their animal is thanks to the “specialists in breeding”.

Let's go back to Ring. The basis and beginning of work with a dog in the Ring is obedience.

This sport requires close contact between the handler (trainer) and the dog.

The dog must not only hear and listen to commands, it must wait for them and immediately execute them. To do this, it must be "tuned" to work.

In the preparation of the dog, the work of the helper-trainer is of great importance. At competitions, the dog will not only have to “grab the helpfully exposed sleeve”, as sometimes happens in demonstrations, but work with a helper who dodges the dog, deceives, puts pressure on it, strikes with a stack.

The decoy can use a "ratchet", empty canisters from under the water, cardboard boxes, a gun, and various household items.

In conclusion, I want to provide readers with a report on the latest competitions in the Russian Ring.

On February 18, 2006, qualification competitions in the Russian Ring were held at the Sokolnik Sports Center. Our VEO ShREK with guide Zorina Marina took 1st place in group "B" and received (!) the prize of defendants. Shrek did a very impressive job. At the time of the competition, the male was only 1 year 10 months old, so this is the beginning of his sports career. Shrek's father - NIGUR-Ides-Oktay, Champion of NRCP and Russia, belongs to Marina Zorina, Shrek's mother - Astrakhan sire USLADA-Moya Joy (owner Shpak). Interestingly, Shrek does not belong to Marina - she trains him and competes with him. And Shrek's owners cheer for them as spectators.

In group "B" the second place was taken by Abramova with a black terrier dog, and the third place was taken by Khairulina with a mestizo named Dusya. In group "A" Mukhmetzhanov took the first place with a German shepherd Ts-Buch, the second place was taken by Bezruk with a malinois Tariel, the third place was taken by Ivanicheva with a German shepherd Green. Eastern ShRECK (by pedigree nickname - Kazimir Malevich) trains at the Sokolniki Cultural Center. Coach Mikhail Timofeev, defendant Denis Lapshin. We sincerely want to thank them for their work with Shrek and other dogs of our club.

On March 26, the Russian Ring Championship of Moscow took place. The first place was taken by Larisa Krepkova with VEO Lucky, leaving the rest of the contenders far behind. And the first place in the team standings was taken by the team of Sokolniki Cultural Center.

Rules for holding competitions in the protective service "Russian Ring"

The general position of the competition "Russian Ring" (RR) is the superiority of trainers with dogs according to the complicated standards of the protective service.

Competitors perform four exercises:

1. Checking the obedience and attitude of the dog to strangers;
2. Defense against one attacker;
3. Defense against two attackers;
4. Defense against three attackers.

Competitions are held on the principle of "mastershaft": each of the exercises has several options for complications and the final decision on the content of the competition is made by the Main Expert Team (GEB) of the competition one hour before the start of the competition by drawing lots of options.

Individual-team championship reveals the winners and prize-winners:

• in a personal account;
