Working Aptitude Evaluation
The DPCA Working Aptitude Evaluation tests a Doberman's working abilities by exposing the dog to specific situations, including a neutral stranger, a friendly stranger, a hidden clattering noise, gunshots, an umbrella popping open suddenly, strange footing, and an unfriendly stranger.
DPCH sponsors WAE events roughly every two years. The next WAE is scheduled for Saturday, May 1, 2010 in conjunction with DOBERFEST.
