Found this trailer from a DVD about the Swedish championship for IPO, messengerdogs and swedish protectionprogramm 2006, maybe of intresst to watch. http://www.sbkskane.com/video/trailer_sm_2006.wmv
Hate to sound like a goob, but I can't find the answer myself. What are they doing when they send the dog out and it runs through the woods and then comes back to the handler between the yellow poles? Sorry cause I know there is probably an obvious answer that I can't see or find.
So, what was it they were doing in the woods..... ?
I noticed some dogs slow down before they are about to bite the sleeve, and some just jump and bite it at full speed (which most definitely will cause the dog to loose his grip of the arm in a real life scenario?). Is any considered a fault in the sport? Sure looks a lot flashier when the dog hangs in mid air, and the spectators seem to enjoy it.

I think the only thing done in the woods is the messenger dog portion of the trials. The bitework with a regular sleeve is IPO. If you are talking about the protection work with the white sleeve, it is different from SchH and IPO, hence the judging and emphasis is different Also included is muzzlework. Unfortunately, I have never been lucky enough to see the sport t in person, and don't know enough about it to discuss what is good or what is bad. I do know I would be interested in learning more if the op would point me in the right direction with regards to websites!
