[13] Unless otherwise instructed, the handler must remain passive throughout the test.
An earlier version of the test was called simply "BH", and it was Schutzhund's preliminary test that all dogs must pass before going further in Schutzhund training. [7] With the increase in (non-protection) dog sports for all breeds, the new BH-VT omits the "gun shy" test, which was instead moved to the next higher level of Schutzhund trials. [6]

The dog and handler are centered at one end of the ring. The dog is sent out and required to turn and sit approximately 20 feet beyond the high jump and bar jump.
