What does FRAP stand for in canine terminology?

• A. Frenetic Random Activity Period
• B. Familiar Random Activity Process
• C. Frequent Rapid Alert Period
• D. Frenzied Response to Activity Panic

Answer: (A)

FRAP stands for Frenetic Random Activity Period. The question checks your understanding of this specific term used to describe a brief, unstructured burst of energy and movement a dog often shows when highly stimulated or transitioning between activities. Recognizing FRAP helps trainers know not to reinforce that chaotic energy and to redirect the dog toward calm, focused behavior or the next trained task. The other options change key elements—frenetic versus familiar, period versus process, or replace frenzy with panic and shift the meaning—so they don’t match the established term used in service-dog training.
