German term or phrase: verbellen
Hallo,

im Gebiet Rettungshundeausbildung suche ich den Begriff für "verbellen".

Erläuterung: Beim Verbellen bellt der Rettungshund so lange bei der gefundenen Person, bis sein Führer bei ihm ist.

English translation:giving a bark alert
Explanation:
Disaster search dogs are trained to notify their handlers to the presence of the scent of a live human by giving a "bark alert". This means that the dog barks vigorously and incessantly, and is focused directly on the strongest area of scent. The dog must continue to bark until the handler arrives to mark the alert location.

General Dog Alert Types:
An ALERT is the behavior that the dog is trained to give when a person or article is located.
Refind Alert- The dog locates the scent source, returns to handler, and then takes the handler back to scent source. The dog alerts by sitting, lying down, barking, or by jumping at the handler to let the handler know of the dog's find.
Bark Alert- The dog stays at the scent source and barks. The dogs bark alert may include a sit/stand or down. Digging and barking is permitted for disaster profile only.
