About AWT 3 - Championship Level
The Advanced Working Test 3 represents the highest level of working certification offered by the IABBR. This test is designed to evaluate elite protection dogs that have demonstrated mastery through all previous levels. Dogs at this level must exhibit exceptional control, intelligent decision-making, and the ability to perform under the most challenging conditions while maintaining absolute obedience to their handler.
Test Components
Championship Protection Scenario
The ultimate test of protection ability. The dog must navigate a complex, multi-phase scenario that combines all skills from previous levels. This includes threat assessment, controlled engagement, handler protection, and strategic disengagement. The scenario includes environmental challenges, multiple decoys, and requires split-second decision making.
Master Obedience Under Pressure
The final evaluation tests the dog's ability to maintain perfect obedience while under extreme distraction and stress. This includes recall from active engagement, position holds during provocations, and demonstration of complete handler control in all circumstances. This component confirms the dog's reliability as an elite protection companion.
