Day 6 - RCMP Video 2



The funny thing about this display was that the dog was so used to 'playing' with his handler that you can see he is not 'following the rules' and being very obedient. He is being like a naughty child. Normally German Shepherds are extremely obedient and when this dog is on the job he does what he is supposed to.

It was a very good display and we learned a lot. The dog knows sign language, so when they have to apprehend a criminal his handler does not have to speak. He has also tracked a criminal for 27 km through deep snow (with his poor handler following)and successfully caught the criminal in *four* hours. This is one of the top records for a dog track.
