That is so cool Jim. I am still learning something new every day 8 years after starting with my good friend who is a K9 trainer and has trained my dogs. I wanted to learn how to be a good decoy but blowing knees out firefighting cut that idea short, but I still help with training. Never ever realized what goes into training as a K9 handler let alone training the dogs. My good friend just got the ok to go back into the K9 unit with the son of her retired K9. I can't wait for the show.
Thanks for letting them follow you around and put you under the microscope as you said..... :0)
I thought that it was something interesting and a way to learn more about something that I would like to do for a career. I look forward to seeing the other episodes. I hope after all of the introductions of the first show they will show more working scenes and some training footage also.

I only caught about 10 minutes of the program and I have a question based on the tiny portion I saw.
The dark-haired, pony-tailed female cop *seemed* to have a handful of a dog. Both times, from the point they exited the car, it appeared the dog was on the point of being out of control, he was so amped up. She really had to hold on to him.
So I was wondering if this is the norm or was the dog more excited than is usual, perhaps due to the presence of a stranger with a camera riding along?
My apologies if this is an ignorant question...I don't know very much about law enforcement dogs.
I am originally from Minnesota, and I thought the show was so cool. I have so much respect for the handlers and their K-9 dogs.
They don't call them St Paul's finest for nothing!
I really look forward to more shows, and I couldn't be more proud of those guys and dogs!
