Savvy experienced Police dog

cliffson1 · 01-10-2013, 08:01 AM

I was working a six year old dual purpose patrol dog yesterday on a a long apprehension bite. Handler instructs me to take off for 100 yards and he sent the dog. I had further instruction to go down and fight the dog if he didn't take me down.....so off we went....lol...Once I was down on the ground engaging the dog every time I would try to get off my back or stomach for leverage he would pull me back to the prone.....after about 4times I realized he purposely was not letting me get to my knees so I could get upright. Finally, the handler removed the dog as I had a hidden sleeve that I couldn't get out of. We laughed about how helpless I was in trying to get to my feet or knees. This old wiley veteran dog has been around the block....lol.

Smart dog!

. K9 1 - Human 0

Out of curiosity is that a trained behaviour or did the dog figure it out by himself?

I'm very sorry we don't have a video of that. I love K9s!

Afterwards, it was funny as an be....but at the time I'm surviving as this dog has many street bites and I am NOT in control. As for the behavior, in this case it is more of a learned behavior on the dogs part. The other piece is this was training but not training for learning, but rather for maintenance. So I was free to do what I wanted to the dog to create adversity, but he wasn't giving me an opportunity once he had me down...lol

GSD or Malinois?

cliffson1 · 01-10-2013, 01:33 PM

GSD...also very good in scent work....drugs and tracking!

Hah! A video would have been great. Sounds like a really neat dog to work with!

That sounds like my Cheeko!

Only more obedient.
I wish you'd gotten a video.
