In French, he is the L'Homme d'Attaque, who is responsible for the developing, and the testing of dogs participating in the Ringsports. When French Ringsport was introduced to the United States, the term Decoy was assigned as the English translation for L'homme d'attaque. The name was given to draw distinction between trainers of different disciplines. 
A French Ring Decoy is not only an adversary during trials but a teacher in training who develops the dog in the technical skills needed to apprehend his target. Thus the term Decoy should not be confused with a police k9 agitator, a schutzhund helper or a bad guy in protection training. Each has a set of specialized skills suited for their training systems.
