The K9 Dogs

Since the 1970s, K9 has been working with the police departments across the U.S. They have become a crucial part of the departments that without them there are several cases which could never get solved. Have you ever thought where do these amazing dogs come from? How they are trained to be such an amazing creature? How do they even fit between regular and police work life? Are they always this aggressive? Or can they be loving too? Let’s see how these dogs are turned into from being regular dogs to police dogs.

From Dog To A Police Dog

The police departments can procure K9s in two ways. They can buy a “green dog,” which is basically a 7 to 14-month-old that has been trained with basic obedience. The green dog is sent to a 4-12 week training with the officer it has been assigned to. And the other option is to buy a dog which has already gone through this training, and then the dog is assigned to the officer. But how do they decide which officer should get the K9?

The Officer Assigned

The officer to which this amazing K9 is assigned also go through training experience so that he knows how to control the dog. The training is not the difficult part but it is to build the relationship between the K9 and the officer. Even in some of the departments the officer and his partner K9 should be certified by an independent organization. This independent organization could be any department like patrol, narcotics, and bomb detection before they can be fully declared fit for active duty.
