Best Answer

There are no standard command words used for all police dogs. Police officers tend to use whatever commands their dog was trained to use. Since many originate in Germany or Czechoslovakia most are trained in German or Czech respectively. It is easier to teach a police officer a few foreign command words than to teach a dog trainer to train in what is to them a foreign language. It's also convenient because the officer is less likely to say a command word in German or Czech accidentally in ordinary conversation. But contrary to popular mythology, these dogs aren't trained in a foreign language to keep people from knowing how to tell them to stop.

Besides, there isn't a specific command for "stop." The dog would be told to lie down, return to heel position or spit something out of his mouth. "Stop" is a very vague concept, so it's much easier to simply tell the dog to do something else, or to release him (tell him he is off duty and can go do what he likes).

If you're thinking the way to get immunity from a dog like a police dog is to learn his commands, forget about it. These dogs are trained to obey only one master and will not obey you even if you did know their command words.
