IGP (Internationale Gebrauchshunde Prüfungsordnung)

IGP (Internationale Gebrauchshunde Prüfungsordnung) is a standardized set of guidelines and testing procedures for working dogs, primarily used in European countries. It evaluates a dog's abilities in areas such as obedience, protection, agility, and tracking, demonstrating their skills for working tasks like police or search-and-rescue work. The program emphasizes balanced temperament, trainability, confidence, and overall functionality, ensuring the dog can perform reliably in demanding situations. Successful completion of IGP tests signifies that a dog meets high standards of training and capability relevant to working roles, promoting safety and professionalism in canine work environments.
