Theory of the BH-VT (companion dog test)

What is the companion dog test?

The dog is tested for its suitability for everyday life. The focus here is on social compatibility, road safety, impartiality and obedience. The owner must pass an expert test before being allowed to enter the practical part. The theoretical part of the basic knowledge about dog ownership is tested here. To make it easier for you to practise, I have provided an online test with evaluation.
