Police Train Dogs

“Jute” is protective equipment that is worn during training to allow the canine to bite without hurting the trainer. This interferes with training process of canines while searching buildings. Canines that are trained with the “Jute” method respond to the odor of the jute rather than human scent. “Human scent is composed of skin flakes, perspiration, skin oils, and gaseous components that are perceived by dogs through their Olfactory senses” (O’Heare). Olfactory sensitivity helps that canine to distinguish between different human odors and to smell significantly, better than human beings. “In fact, the Institute for Biological Detection Systems at Auburn University (1998) found that canines could be trained to detect as many as ten separate and distinct odors without any deterioration in performance” (O’Heare). Although, canines know the difference between smells, when trained with “Jute” when searching for criminals without the odor of the protective wear the dog may get confused or be slower to find the suspect. It may cause a problem when finding and indicating.

Once a puppy dog being trained as a service dog reaches eighteen to twenty months, they leave their training family and are brought to the training organization for further training along with other service dogs. The dogs are trained to have good manners. During their training time they learn fifty plus commands. They are trained to perform tasks that are difficult and uncomfortable such as crawling along the floor so that they can get under furniture to retrieve items that their owners may have dropped. The dogs must be strong in case they need to push or pull a wheel chair through a narrow area. At the end of training, they are given difficult tests to test their shyness and submissiveness, if they startle, and if they are forgiving and loving. If they pass all their tests, they go through a boot camp where their potential owners are trained how to take care of them. During

Patience is a very important quality to posses when it comes to dog training. It might take to a child months to learn the ABC's as well as for a dog to develop a new skill. It is important to remember that each dog is different, for some it might take one class and for some more. Some dogs will be driven by treats and some by a game.

Training a dog is not for the fainthearted. It requires patience, repetition and praise. Keep in mind that some breeds are easier to train that others, but as one trainer told me "there are no dogs that fail, but the owners who fail." HOW TO GET STARTED To begin, there are a few supplies that should be at your disposal. Have treats ready to use for rewarding your dog while he is learning. This may be controversial, but for training purposes a choker chain works best. A good leash to attach to the choker chain will be needed in addition. Hold each training session a few times a day. Dogs lose their concentration after 10-15 minutes, Keep each session short and training will be easier for both of you. Any member of your family, that will interact with your dog, must go through the training with him also. After putting the choker chain and leash on your dog, have him sit. Say "sit" while pushing back on his rear end, The next step, while he is sitting, is to throw a treat in front of the dog, so that he can see it, but just out of his reach. When your pet gets up to go get the treat, give a sharp tug on the leash. Then put him back in the sitting position. This step may take a few tries before moving on. Remember that praise is important by saying "good boy," giving him a pat and a treat. As the dog progresses and you feel ready for the next step, put him in the sit position. Hold the leash loosely and walk in front of him. Turn your hand, palm out, saying stay. Each time

The United States military has a special place just for the training of MWDs located in Texas at the joint Base San Antonio-Lackland. It has been the military training facility for dogs since 1958. Around 85% of the dogs that come through this training facility are purchased from European countries such as Germany and the Netherlands. The other 15% percent are bred at the San Antonio-Lackland Base. Here, dogs are put through rigorous training and the pups not fit for the military are weeded out. Once the pups have reached the age of 7 months, the training begins. Handlers work with them to increase the power of their bite, their social skills, and their sense of drive. Dogs that show a sense of focus and aggression are better suited to be MWDs. Another vital quality that handlers look for when training the dogs is their ability to work off of a reward system. If a dog is not cooperating and following the commands of a handler, they are taken out of consideration to become part of the armed forces. Once the prime pups are picked, the advanced training begins. This is where they are trained for their specific task; this includes the detection of narcotics, explosives, enemies, or being a sentry

Guide dogs are incredible animals that can do many things. Seeing eyes dogs are specially trained to alert another person when their owner is in danger but there is no possible way they can do that. “A team at the Georgia Institute of Technology have created a computerised doggy vest that can help our four-legged friends better communicate with their owners…”(Scientists). The “doggie vest” will let the dogs to communicate with their owner and allow them to alert other humans if their owner is in danger.

Smell: Dogs use smell to identify individuals, determine gender and recognise another dog’s mood. Their olfactory sense is said to be 40 times more sensitive than a human’s (Wiki, 2015). They are able to use pheromones for communication, which are endogenous chemicals that carry messages (Hedges.S, 2014). Different chemicals are secreted when dogs are angry, fearful or confident (Wiki, 2015). Different chemicals are secreted in females which give information on whether the bitch is pregnant, has recently given birth or is in her oestrus cycle (Wiki, 2015). Many of these pheromones are found dissolved in the animals urine, male dogs prefer to urinate on vertical surfaces as high as they can as the sent will carry further (Wiki, 2015). Pheromones are detected by the vomeronasal organ located on the hard palate behind the incisors (Hedges,S.2014).

It is often said that a dog is a man’s best friend. In the last 14,000 years, dogs have accompanied man by helping him hunt, guard, and protect. In our modern world, dogs help us combat in war, search-and-rescue, guide the blind, deaf, discapacitated, rehabilitate patients in therapy, aid law enforcement, and are part of our family as beloved pets (Coren). Although canine superstars such as Lassie, Old Yeller, and Rin Tin Tin portray the perfect dog we all want in our lives, these ideals are far from the truth. Many first-time dog owners expect dogs to know behaviors such as how to walk on a leash, not bite, not destroy the house, and in addition to many others. In reality, dogs must be trained on what their handler wants them to do. It is
