Found this video posted to one my the local news stations Facebook page. I think someone needs to take the idiot training the k9 and hang him by a leash. Not sure why he thinks treating a dog like that is going to get positive results. Anyways, link below contains the video.
Bad PR on behalf of the police and it's a no win for the police department....so they do damage control and suspend the cop ...all to patronize the public...especially the ___________.
Anyway, I agree with hunterisgreat.."we don't know the details" and a K-9 dog most assuredly goes through training and techniques the vast majority of us have no idea about....so I will reserve judgment until an expert could scrutinize what happened between officer and K-9.
Of course I wouldn't being do this with any of the dogs I own but then again...I have never owned a military or police dog.
Oh, the YouTube video is much better ..especially the commentary and background voices......
Yeah I guess I was pretty quick to bash. I'm reading some of the Facebook comments and apparently the dog is a really good office. His owner, the other officer in the video, also appears to be a very nice guy based on comments I have read.
Sorry I just saw the slap and the hanging by the collar and i thought it was a little much. Maybe how they train them tho............
Well I'm not a pro but for me that kind of punishment would be reserved for going "up leash" or going after another K9!
