Evaluators sometimes combine elements during the actual test. If a dog fails the test initially, owners can continue training with their dog and retake for the test in the future. If all ten objectives are met, the handler can apply for a certificate and special dog pet tag from the AKC stating that the dog has earned the CGC. [7]
Current versions of these codes and standards now agree that handrail is defined as either a circular cross section with an outside diameter of 1 + 1 ⁄ 4 inches (32 mm) minimum and 2 inches (51 mm) maximum or a non-circular cross section with a perimeter dimension of 4 inches (102 mm) minimum and 6 + 1 ⁄ 4 inches (159 mm) maximum and a ...
Field tests and hunt tests are non-competitive activities designed to test a gundog's natural hunting abilities in a field environment without the added pressure of competition. [ 19 ] [ 20 ] Unlike in field trials where dogs compete against each other, in hunt tests dogs compete to pass the requirements of the tests. [ 20 ]
Goldmann perimeter The Goldmann perimeter is a hollow white spherical bowl positioned a set distance in front of the patient. [3] An examiner presents a test light of variable size and intensity. The light may move towards the center from the perimeter (kinetic perimetry), or it may remain in one location (static perimetry).
By Barbier's theorem, the body's perimeter is exactly π times its width, but its area depends on its shape, with the Reuleaux triangle having the smallest possible area for its width and the circle the largest. Every superset of a body of constant width includes pairs of points that are farther apart than the width, and every curve of constant ...
Shelters use temperament tests to help identify dogs with problem behaviors, including aggression, and to help increase the rate of successful adoptions. [11] For some, these tests are a way to determine if a dog should even be offered for adoption, or to whom they will restrict adoption of an individual dog (adult-only household or sanctuary only, versus family with children).
Schutzhund (/'ʃʊtshʊnt/, German for "protection dog" [c]), currently known competitively as IGP [b] and previously as IPO, [a] is a dog sport that tests a dog's tracking, obedience, and protection skills, and evaluates if a dog has the appropriate traits and characteristics of a good working dog.

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. The dog is given a signal and verbal command to jump a high jump and in the second half of the exercise the dog is sent out again and must execute the other jump.
