Hi Again:
I almost forgot, I think sometimes people who get into dogs either for sport or for service work forget the time and dedication it takes to train a dog. The more time you put into it the better the results will be. It's like getting a new car, it looks good, no dings in it, etc. But you still have to wash it, get it tuned up, rotate the tires, change the oil, etc. Getting a dog and going to 8 hours of training a month is not going to give you the desired results. You need to practice a few minutes a few times a day, like anything else, the more you train usually the better you get at it. Also, does anyone have any information on how they train the focus or redirect the K9 when they deploy the dog around multiple officers/subjects? Or the socialization of the dog to your beat partners?
Thanks Again,
Brandon
i think too many people get involved in the protection training--and hey, look! my dog can bite harder than your dog..........
but whether it is a sport dog, a personal protection dog, or a police dog, you still have nothing worth showing off without obedience training.
my favorite "trick" is how my dogs will call off/drop any place any time. i train my dogs to only take commands from me, and i don't encourage a lot of interaction with strangers after their puppy socialization. this goes for the police dogs and the competition dogs.
as for the heel thing, his could have been a "loading" issue and confusion and misdirected. with my dogs, heel position is their "safe spot", but it better be MY left side. if they ever went to heel position on someone else, i'd be seriously questioning my relationship with that dog.
it sounds to me as if this officer is not qualified to work k9.........

don't knock the little guys.
i love the gsd's, but corgis will always be my favorite.
they're great workers and i can fit twice as many of them.
they're full of attitude--bred to drive cattle--and one of mine is narcotics certified and can do a SchH BH and an evidence search and bite work.

Good for you!! I have a 4 year old female Corgi, my son (who was in kindergarten at the time) wanted a dog he could train.....The GSD's were just too big for him to handle.
She is great and my parents (who always had Dobermanns and Rottweilers) were so impressed with her they got one too.
They have big dog attitude in a more portable size......I don't know about yours but my one corgi sheds more than all my other dogs combined though!!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

That's good, more power to you. The world needs more circus attractions, I hear shows like that are on the decline.
You should ask Richard Cannon about his mini-schnauzer that does bite work. Bite command is "Fart". He claims people get a kick out of it. I have yet to see any proof.
Dead serious? Corgi bite work? Try dead funny, like death from acute funnyashellitis.
