Where can you learn how to train a pup to be a police dog for free?
Asked by Wiki User
The short answer is: you can't. Police dogs are very highly trained by experts. Police departments don't buy police dogs from private parties, only from special training schools.
Can women work on the k-9 unit?
Asked by Wiki User
Yes, women can work on the K-9 unit. I have never heard of a department that will not allow that.
Many people are unaware of this, but the K-9 unit requires any candidates to pass a very difficult physical test. The reason being that as a K-9 officer, you will be in control of a large German shep and there may be time where you may have to actually lift the dog eg. if need to get the dog over a fence but still maintain control without unleashing.
As long as the physical can be passed, any candidate is eligible.
yes
Can a corgi be a police dog?
Asked by Wiki User
It is unlikely. While not all dogs used by law enforcement are not necessarily large, strong breeds, the ones that are specialized, (drug dogs - bomb dogs - cadaver dogs - search dogs - etc) are usually picked due to the fact that a particular breed is known to have or bred to possess exceedingly good powers of scent identification. I am not aware that Corgi's fall into this category.

Asked by Wiki User
retired police dogs will be protective of their owner, but it really depends on how old they are
