K-9 dogs are usually not trained to be passive. The dogs chosen for that 'job'
are more 'outgoing' and motivated.

There have been cases where a K-9 will attack the handler, other officers, innocent members of the public and even the handler's family.

In the case of the handler who left his dog outside, later to be shot by a neighbor, He had an indoor cage for the dog when he took him home.

Why? If the dog was trained and 'safe' to be around his family?

These dogs are programmed to grab an arm and take that person down to the ground-and to top it off they only respond to commands from the handler-sometimes in German.
