12. Training session.
 
The actual trial-field must remain neutral to all participants and all training on this field prior or after the official training-session is strictly prohibited and leads to exclusion from participation.
The day before the trial, all participants (with the exception of female dogs in heat) will be given the opportunity to train obedience and protection on the actual trial-field.       
The time that they will be given for this, will be determined by the trial-director in function of the number of participants and will be the same for all dogs. A time-schedule for this training-session will be given to all team-captains and the organizing club will see to it that the schedule is strictly obeyed. The field will be complete, incl. all attributes and markings but without the helpers for the trial.       
Should a team timely express its need for the assistance of a helper, the organizing club will see to it that a helper (not one of the helpers for the world championship-trial) will be available at the training-session of the team.
Before the trial, all participants must be given the opportunity to track at least one time on fields that are similar in structure to the tracking-fields of the trial. The eventuality that these or some of these practice-fields would not be large enough to lay a track of 600-paces, gives no ground to complaints although the organization will do its best to present adequate fields.
