There are many ways to train the Guard and Bark and many associations that require the Guard and Bark (or Bark and Hold as it is sometimes called). In Schutzhund, the dog guards in a blind. In KNPV, the dog guards after finding a Decoy hiding in the woods. In most sports, there is a pattern (or sequence of events) that is associated with the guard and bark that never changes. The only association or pattern that a Police Service Dog (Police Service Dog) may have is the command. The guard and bark is an obedience exercise and this exercise takes place under cars, in the bushes, and wherever a suspect is trying to hide. The job of the PSD is to locate and alert the handler by barking.
