outdoorstom Posted September 24, 2011 Share Posted September 24, 2011 Ok, so maybe the title is a little dramatic. Yesterday my trooper buddy brought his dogs over for some training. I ran through the woods, then climbed into a stand. He found me easily, then was rewarded by being allowed to bite me. We also did some bite work with his dog that is about to retire.

G-Man Posted September 24, 2011 Share Posted September 24, 2011 did u try using scent elimination? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burmjohn Posted September 24, 2011 Share Posted September 24, 2011 That would have been a neat test... take a shower in scent killer, then go through the woods. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pistolp71 Posted September 24, 2011 Share Posted September 24, 2011 That would have been a neat test... take a shower in scent killer, then go through the woods. It's been done a few times. I think mythbusters and field and stream did another. The person was found very easily. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
outdoorstom Posted September 24, 2011 Author Share Posted September 24, 2011 I think I will try that next time....I'm pretty sure I already know the results though. I was wearing rubber boots and that didn't make any difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sits in trees Posted September 25, 2011 Share Posted September 25, 2011 Its a police dog, its doing what its supposed to do. trained and monitored by profesionals is one thing, but too many people out there training dogs for defense that shouldnt be. i could never see the point of training a dog to attack a human, always works out bad for the humans and dogs.

I agree with you 100%. They are good to have for protection/notification purposes but I would never train one to attack. I work side by side with 2 k-9 teams. They are fun to watch but I would not want to be on the receiving end without the bite suit. The dogs and their handlers go through hundreds of hours worth of training.

ny hunter Posted September 27, 2011 Share Posted September 27, 2011 WOW the dog is beautiful,I would not want to be the one he is sinking his teeth into. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 I guess I assumed from the original post that the dogs were official police issued dogs trained for official police work. The mention of the guy being a trooper kind of led me to think in that direction. Anybody know that that is not the case? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WNYBuckHunter Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 It says that the dog is about to be retired. Sounds like an official police dog to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
