All test must be performed while on leash. 

Collar should be a well-fit buckle or slip collar (including martingales) made of leather, fabric or chain.

Special equipment such as harnesses, prong or pinch collars, and head collars are not permitted.

The leash should be made of leather or fabric.  Pitts Pack Leading's evaluator will supply a 20 ft. line for Test #6.

The AKC and Pitts Pack Leading recognizes that special training collars may be valuable equipment in the beginning stages of dog training, however, we feel that dogs are ready to be tested after they have been transitioned to a slip or buckle collar.
