Various shots of Alsatians doing an obstacle course - the dogs jump over a fence, through a hoop of fire, through a tunnel, before bursting though a paper screen. Low angle shot of the Alsatians and their masters - the men march, the dogs walk to heel.
M/S of an Alsatian climbing up a narrow ramp. Low angle shot of the dog walking over a tightrope. M/S of two officers, one with a clip board, watching the stunt. The dog gingerly walks down the steep ramp at the other side.
Various shots of two dogs completing the obstacle course. The dogs leave from different ends and have to pass each other in the tunnel. Various shots of an Alsatian scrambling over a wall. Low angle shot of two dogs passing each other on a steep double sided ramp.
C/U of a man placing a raw egg in a dog's mouth. C/U of a high ranking officer. The dog has to walk over the tightrope without breaking the egg in it's mouth. The observing officers appear to be marking the dog's performance. The dog's trainer cracks open the egg and feeds it to the dog as a reward. L/S of a battalion of dog trainers marching with their animals.
