Where would we be without our canine crusaders? Honestly, Police dog training videos have been an invaluable assisting tool to help train our four legged friends to protect and serve.
One of the reasons that various police stations do not have a dog officer is that it expensive to train a police dog and to get them ongoing training sessions.
Thanks to police dog training videos, the overall cost of getting a good police dog has been lowered.
The training tapes are now being reproduced and viewed by the wrong people.
Are you in the police force? Are you a security company? If your answer is no, please do not train your pet dog to do the things an army, police, or guard dog can.
Canines see everything as a fun game.
Dogs use their teeth, they jump, and they like to play very rough.
In guard dog training videos and police dog training videos, dogs are encouraged to use their instinct to play with their teeth, to play rough.
Guard/police dogs are trained to focus on a person, knock them to the ground and lodge their teeth on a leg or arm and then not to release until they are told by their master's command.
These dogs are also trained to recognize when they are working and when they are not.
Some reactions like biting are not acceptable.
Many facts are omitted in the training video, like teaching down time, because they are usually backed up by a trainer.
Well, you taught your dog Max to knock down your friend with his teeth, but now Max does it with the neighbors, the mailman, anyone he meets.
If a pup learns how to take a human being down with his or her teeth thinking that it was fun and a game, they will play this game with everyone.
Inevitably, Max will be put down and you'll be sued.
The police dog training videos themselves are not at fault.
Irresponsible dog owners are to blame for Max's demise.
If you have a child and a dog in your home, supervision is a must.
You want to be sure that your furry friend isn't picking up any nasty habits from the kids.
If your dog has begun to develop potentially dangerous behaviors learned from copying police dog training videos, professional training and positive reinforcement will help get rid of these undesirable habits.
When in doubt, remember muzzling is a safe alternative for others and your dog.
All dogs can and will learn, giving them good skills benefits all of us.
