Behavior taxonomy

Composite: 50m send to charging decoy, high-speed engagement with presented target, bite under 2 gunshots, minimum 3 stick hits over up to 3 seconds, single-command out, guard/strike position hold, and scenario control line.

Composite: dog unsecured in trial vehicle, vehicle stay (15-20 sec) while handler dismounts, dog sent on cue, muzzled engagement of decoy (8-second minimum) with sustained prey-style fight, clean recall, and scenario control line.

Composite: 2-tent search, bark alert at each hidden decoy, engagement with fending object management, out, guard position, prisoner transport of first decoy to designated location, then repeat with second engagement.

Composite: dog on place bed, handler at distance, autonomous engagement of a threat approaching the place bed (no handler cue required — see rulebook §8.2 Independent Threat Engagement), out, place-hold return.

L1 Scenario 1 escalated: 3-4 gunshots, minimum 5 stick hits over 5 seconds, possible second decoy emergence with active distraction during fight (target commitment under provocation).

L1 Scenario 2 escalated: 25-30 second vehicle stay, D2 (target decoy) presents active threat (raised hands, posturing, verbal challenges) before transitioning to prey-style fight, 3 decoys on field, 12+ second engagement, D1 movement during fight.

L1 Scenario 3 escalated: 3 tents (2 with decoys, 1 blank), self-targeting on emergence (decoy does not present target), 2 different fending objects across engagements, possible smoke for visual obscurement, transport route closer to remaining tents.

L1 Scenario 4 escalated: place bed may be a non-bed object (rug, marked square, tarp), up to 2 approach attempts (first non-engagement, second actual threat), self-targeting, dog must NOT engage non-threat and MUST engage threat.

Composite: place command on object, sustained stay with decoy neutrality throughout normal activity, autonomous problem-solving to break for engagement when a decoy approaches with intent to take the guarded object, appropriate engagement, out on stop of fight, autonomous return to guard.

Dog is at a declared post (place bed, marked spot, or designated location), handler at distance and silent. Dog reads threat approach, engages without cue, delivers 5+ stick hits, outs cleanly, and returns to post autonomously for sustained guard duration.
