After 10 seconds of civil aggression, the decoy will row/bounce a basketball at the team. The K9 should stay focused on the decoy. The decoy will retreat 10 seconds after rolling the basketball.

Scenario #2: Defense of handler (One decoy) Description of Exercise: Upon command of the Steward, the handler will heel their dog onto the field and to the designated starting point. A decoy will be hiding, as you heel pass by the hidden decoy, the decoy will aggressively assault the K9 team. You immediately command your dog to attack. After a sufficient duration of the fight between the Decoy and dog (approximately 8 seconds), the Steward will signal the decoy will slip the sleeve.
