During a breed survey protection phase, do I have to have my dog sit while I am taking off the leash as I get clloser to the blind? Can I slip the leash under the collar and approach the blind so the dog does not realize the leash is coming off?

As far as I know you have to start in basic (sit) position. I've seen people heel up with the leash already off, then sit and go, but I don't think you can just reach down while you're heeling and remove the leash?

I didn't think it was mandatory to sit.
I was thinking that I will not clip the leash on the collar, instead sliding the leash under the collar. We walk together without stopping or sitting and just before we are entering the heel zone I slide the leash off the collar without the dog noticing anything.

Honestly I'm not sure. Is there a reason to do it differently? It's fairly straight forward and you get *three* chances. If you don't want to have to take the leash off you could probably get away with taking it off at the first marker instead of the second.

6.3 Protection Work Execution – Surprise Attack with Guarding
6.3.1. The handler reports to the breed survey master with the dog on leash.
6.3.2. Upon instruction by the breed survey master, the handler assumes the basic position at a marked spot 30 paces from the blind and takes the leash off the dog.
6.3.3. The leash must be placed around the shoulder or in the pocket of the handler.
6.3.4. Upon a signal from the breed survey master, the handler walks toward the blind with the free heeling dog.
6.3.5. The dog must stay closely at heel.
6.3.6. Upon a signal from the breed survey master, the helper performs an attack while making threatening noises. The attack occurs when handler and dog are five paces away from the blind.
6.3.7. The dog must counter the attack immediately and confidently and must bite hard and full.
6.3.8. Once the dog has a grip on the sleeve, the helper applies two stick hits with a soft stick on either the thighs, the sides, or in the area of the withers.
6.3.9. The handler may verbally encourage the dog to counter the attack.
6.3.10. Upon a signal from the breed survey master, the helper stops the attack and stands still.
6.3.11. The dog must release either on its own or upon receiving the verbal command “aus/out” and must guard the helper.
6.3.12. The breed survey master gives the handler the instruction to step up to the dog.
6.3.13. The handler puts the dog on leash and receives the instruction from the breed survey master to step into the assigned blind.
So it looks like you must take the leash off and perform a sit (basic position = sit).

Hi ,
Is GSD MAN talking about the protection phase in Schutzhund or
The Breed Survey of the GSD.? I'm confused.
Is a protection phase now included in the breed survey,
if so how is it graded.?
