Do you think it is possible to train my Schnauzer to be a drug dog?
Full Question:
My name is Brian and I am a Deputy at a Sherrif's office in Texas. I am currently assigned to the jail division, but hope to train my schnauzer to be a narcotics dog. I have yet to use the scents but have trained him to look for his toy and wait for me to throw it patiently.I am thinking about purchasing some pseudo-scents of course as I don't know how my department feels about this yet. A lot of people look at me like I'm crazy for working with my Schnauzer. Please write me back and tell me if you think a Miniature Schnauzer would be a good drug dog or if I should go with another breed.
Thanks,
Brian

Any dog can be trained if they have good nerves and extreme prey drive.
I recommend that you take a minute and register for my web discussion board. You can then direct your questions to my web board. It has over 6,500 registered members. There are some talented people on my board.
You will need to register before you can post questions but you can still read the board and its EXTENSIVE archives without registering. To search the archives – first pick a forum on the left side of the web board. Click on it and you will go to the next page. On that second page – if you look at the top right you will see a drop down box that has “SHOW TOPICS FROM THE LAST 45 DAYS.” Click the drop down box and select “SHOW ALL TOPICS” This will provide you access to every thread on the forum since the board was created.
If you have a problem with this I have created a web page to explain how to search the archives.
The registration process can take a couple of days to get approved. We make people use their real name on the board – not a pseudo name. This eliminates perverts and pukes from posting obscene information on our board. In my opinion this is one of the reasons my web board is so good because there is accountability for peoples posts when they have to have their name associated with their post.
