What color is the light at the recall line during USPCA testing?

• A. Green
• B. Amber
• C. Red
• D. Blue

Answer: (B)

In USPCA testing, signals along the recall line use a color cue to coordinate when the dog should return to the handler. The amber light specifically serves as the recall cue, signaling that the dog must come back and be brought under control at that moment. Amber acts as a neutral, caution-style signal that distinguishes recall from actions like proceeding forward (green) or stopping (red), and it isn’t associated with other colors used in this context. So the light at the recall line is amber because it best communicates the intended action: initiate the recall and bring the dog back to the handler.
