"Last week TPD Burt was just like PD Albert ie he would not retrieve and was very possessive. Its so much easier to train a dog who will naturally retrieve. To counter this I play groom do distance control & recalls all on the platform & the retrieve soon comes"

"(1) TPD Bert at this early age isnt a natural retriever despite lots of play with a toy letting him win & keep it each time. He wants to play & keep it so my strategy is read the paper and show no interest until he gets bored then he brings it over to include me in the game"

"Helen. There are a number of forces who dont allow GP dogs in the house for H&S reasons. Ive never agreed with it. Our handlers have always been allowed to make them part of the family. There will always be the odd dog who is a risk & then needs to be kept in the kennel @DC_PoliceDogs I was married to a Police Dog handler and we were forced to keep the GSD outside in a kennel. It broke my heart. @DC_PoliceDogs I was married to a Police Dog handler and we were forced to keep the GSD outside in a kennel. It broke my heart"

"Last but not least Shane & TPD Jasper. Shane also has had bad luck with his dogs. His first dog RPD Gunner retired very early with a spine/hip problem. His next dog RPD Hendrick retired after finding operational Police work too stressful. Good luck Shane & TPD Jasper. 🤞"

"Like so many Malinoiss TPD Odi is quite a sharp dog with very sensitive hearing. So I wasnt sure how he would react to his gun test. The ideal reaction is to be neutral ie not fearful or over reactive. He did really well & he also did well on his spooky man test last week"

"TPD Rico on the very first stages of the stand off exercise. This is where the dog is sent to detain a fleeing criminal who then stops running and surrenders. The dog shouldnt bite but should bark keeping them there until joined by his handler"
