I hate to say it but I think the west coast training schools are using bad info. I have worked ewith lots of different dogs from milartry and police . Ones whom have been trained at a certian school or it's polisiphy are not trust worthy. But others are great a freind went to an east coast school and the difference between his and his partners *(wc) trained dog are night and day. Also I think they are giving dogs to SOME cops who should not be partnered with a dog.
A properly trained dog should be a family dog when off duty and a "killer" when ordered on duty but only when commanded. Sorry I got so long it is just one of my pet peeves, cuz hubby was a reserve cop and rodewith the best k9 unit I have ever met. Un fortuanly they we both injured and the dog had to be put down from her injuries. Guy walked fre due to a stupid technacallity.
