Trivia Answer

B) Protection, tracking, and obedience. 

Schutzhund, a German word meaning "protection dog," is a rigorous training program originally developed for German Shepherds. This traditional training regimen focuses on three core disciplines: protection, tracking, and obedience.

These commands are designed to showcase the dog's intelligence, trainability, and working ability.

Protection work involves controlled aggression and guarding, tracking tests the dog's scenting ability and concentration, while obedience demonstrates the dog's responsiveness to commands and control.

Unlike basic pet obedience, Schutzhund training is more intense and comprehensive, preparing dogs for various working roles, including police and military service.
