Dog types
I know because I have a find and bite dog (OTIS) who took a calf muscle and tendons off the body of last guy he bit (a burglar in a building who hit him in the head with a pipe) While I do not look at a dog as deadly force, I am very very careful about what type of incidence I can get him out on. dog types Dog-worms. God forbid a mistake would happen and this dog bites a civilian. To TopQUESTION:Hello Ed,Allow me a little of your time. I am a K9 handler with the Pittsburgh police department, up here in Pittsburgh, PA (Go Steelers). dog types Kinds-of-dogs. I started working with dogs in the army in 1976 . I have 15 years experience as a police handler. First off , I want to say, I enjoy your videos ,and have even purchased a few. dog types Dog training obedience. I am currently on your mailing list. I don't always agree with you, but always find your videos, and articles, top quality and interesting/thought provoking. I especially enjoy your sarcasm and humor. What I am writing you about, is to get your opinion on a couple of issues that really stick in my craw. The first has to do with NAPWDA. They are very big up here in western PA . While I believe their original intentions were good and honorable, what I see now are people who just want to say they are "master" trainers so they can make a buck or two. People who are masters only of seminars and workshops, but have little or, no actual street experience. My department is not the biggest around, we are 1200 strong with a 28 team K9 unit, but we get plenty of work. I believe training HAS to be mixed with practical application. Second, there are no state standards in Pa concerning police work dog teams. Therefore, any schutzhund trainer can make friends with an officer from a four or five man department and sell and train them a "police dog " while I easily admit the superior skills in some areas of dog training that allot of civilians have, I am a big advocate dog police training being done by POLICE. Especially narcotics training. I am seeing civilians associated with NAPWDA selling Sch. dogs as police dogs, and people who train in schutzhund convince these small departments that is the way to go. I feel this is only going to hurt all of us in the long run. A training school in the middle of our state , run by a "master " trainer offers green handlers a complete course in THREE weeks with the end results being they are trained handlers with street ready , dual purpose , police service dogs! Our housing police just sent three of their officers to this trainer.
