Police Dog Training
Dogs have become such a wonderful addition to our police
force. Police dog training has prepared many dogs for their vital role as a
police dog. If you are thinking of police dog training for your dog, your dog
will be trained in more than the typical guard dogs. In this type of training,
the duties of a dog are very clear, and the program is designed to train them
to perform these duties.
Dogs have a very strong sense of smell, in police dog training;
this sense is fine tuned, to be able to find a person as far as a hundred yards
away, and to find things or people in areas a policeman would never think to
look.
Police dog training is very strict and very rigid as these
dogs will deal with very serious situations. They will be working at crime
scenes, locating missing people, and they are even trained to deal with
domestic situations.
The most difficult part of police dog training is to
prepare them for search and rescue. These are the toughest things that these
dogs will ever need to do. They are also required to deal with detecting drugs
and explosives. These types of situations require intense training and require
strict obedience to voice commands.
It has been estimated that a police dog is of value to 10
policemen. They are able to handle so much work, and accomplish so much in
such a short amount of time.
A very important key to police dog training is the
handler, and his ability to work well with the dog. There has to be a bond
formed between them, if not, the team won’t work well. When the police dog is
on duty, so is his handler, and trust for one another is vital.
During the police dog training process, a special bond is
formed between the dog and his handler. This training is not difficult when
you understand your dog. With persistence and rewards, your dog will
understand what is expected and will continue to work hard to do his best.
Police dog training also includes proper diet, plenty of
exercise and protecting them from any possible harm. This is a program that
actually nurtures your dog’s natural instincts and abilities to please their
handlers. You will be helping your dog become his very best.
Dog Training Tip #1
Be Consistent. Use the same commands over and over as you are training, correcting, and praising your dog. Consistency will help your dog to understand and obey rather than be confused and disobedient. All family members should use the same commands when training your dog. Consistency breeds familiarity and desired behavior. |
Dog Training Tip #2
Praise Good Behavior. Make sure to praise your dog quickly and often when she has completed a command or responded in a positive manner. As you praise, look directly in your dog's eyes so that she will associate good behavior with the positive reinforcement she is receiving (voice and/or touch). |
Dog Training Tip #3
Keep Training Sessions Short. Approximately 15 minutes per session is optimal for learning a simple command and maintaining your dog's concentration. Make sure to end your training sessions on a positive note. One idea is to play with your dog immediately following a session. This will help your dog to associate time spent with you as fun and to look forward to another training session. |
