Police dog training - Get him to stop on a dime.

http://www.sitmeanssit.com This video shows some steps using visual markers as aids in teaching a high drive police dog to stop instantly. I am using a whistle in this video, but this can obviously be paired with your voice as well. I am just showing the numerous options of how to implement into your regular program.

I am also using a Thunder 100 retriever launcher (www.thunderequipment.com) to simulate a shotgun sound as gun fire will have a tendency to have a police dog at his highest level of enthusiasm, and this also will give you an opportunity to teach your dog to remain steady until told to go that you will need in exercises or in SWAT work. You obviously do not want the dog attacking everything when it hears gunfire.

If the dog will stay steady with the Thunder 100, which simulates a shotgun sound, he will have no problem with other sorts of gunfire. Having the ability to stop your dog instantly when he is away from you, will keep your legal hassles to a minimum.

What if you lose or forget to bring your whistle?



[fredhassen]

@Ka80SS Then you just tell him to "sit" or "come". He knows those commands also.

I love watching your dog do his routines, and it makes me want to work more with my GSD. My boy is large, unneutered and has a VERY high play drive at 2 1/2yrs.. He likes to play more than eat. Police have said that is exactly what they look for in their dogs. I don't have a place to let him run free, nor do I know how to really train him to do this kind of work. He REALLY loves learning new things and showing what he's learned. Where do you go to work your dog?

@Calliope334 Anywhere and everywhere I can.

can you teach him how to dougie?

[fredhassen]

@pinoybalot5 I can't even dougie, so I certainly can't teach him. :-)

cops suck!

It looks like you are using a shock collar. Did you activate the shock collar just before the dog stopped on the tray on his way back to you? It looks like the dog stumbles there and is reacting to either an actual shock,or anticipation of getting shocked.
