Hunting Dog Training

Question by Lucy?: How can my friend volunteer his German Shepherd dog for Police training?
In the United Kingdom.

The dog is 18months old, female, a thoroughbred German Shepherd.

Her first owner got rid, because the child in the family was teasing the dog, which after a while turned on him.They decided they had to give the dog to a child-free family, or destroy it.

He has no time for the dog now, and doesn’t want her to be destroyed, or given to another home who may not be able to keep her.

Can he apply for the police to use the dog for training?
If so, how can he do this?

They will not take his dog. Police K-9’s are bought with basic training from Germany. They are then brought back to their department for drug/firearm training and takedowns. The police just don’t take any dog.

Question by Mary Simms: How old do you have to be to learn shultzen dog training. Are there better dogs than German shepherd dogs?
Where do you buy good German shepherd dogs for working and how much are they? Are there schools that let 15yr olds learn about training dogs or do you wait until you graduate?

It’s schutzhund.

And unless you can get work scooping poop at a working shepherd kennel, I doubt you’d ever get close to any dog of that caliber.

But I don’t mean to dampen your spirits – I’ll star for Greekman, Curtis, Dutchman and others who have working dogs – maybe they have more info for you.

Also, most often malinois are used, in addition to other belgian shepherds – they are often better bred than today’s German shepherd, at least American-bred German shepherds.

Hope this is helpful!

I want to find obedience classes and I want to learn how to train him to compete in dog sporting events such as agility.
