Here we can see the Tibetan mastiff Ozo meeting "dumpen". This is sub test "Suprise" where an overall is pulled up in front of the unaware dog. What we want to see is the reaction of the dog as well how the dog abreact, i.e. how the dog handles a situation like this.

In sub test "Ghost" two people dressed in white sheets move slowly towards the dog and its owner. At a certain distance the ghosts will stop moving, turn around and the dog is let to greet the ghosts.

Documentation of the different sub test when the East Asian breeds were tested. In this picture we can see a Tibetan mastiff preparing to meet the ghosts.
