Do they take away the best toy from human officers to test if they are capable of the job too?

    Pretty sure service dogs are categorically for disabled people.

    Sent this to my buddy who trains service dogs. It's basically raising a puppy and then giving them away as soon as the hard part's over. So in that sense, yes they do? I know he wouldn't have complained too hard if the last one failed their graduation test lol

    No. I raise and do basic training for guide dog puppies. The hard part is done from when they are 12-14 months, by professional trainers. You can't train a service dog when they are a puppy, unless they are simple "emotional support dogs", which I think is mostly bullshit, most privately owned dogs are emotional support dogs to a certain extent.

    Real service dogs, like guide dogs, or mobility or the like, are trained professionally. Puppy educators, like me, basically raise very well behaved dogs, as a base from which the pros build.

    Police and war dogs are a whole different thing.

    Yea like my buddy and his wife who literally trains dogs for blind people. Their last dog just passed its graduation exam 2 weeks ago.

    That's what I was saying.

    Can you elaborate on the police and war dogs? I didn’t even know war dogs were still a thing.

    At what age does a puppy become training-worthy? And the way you mentioned the police and war dogs makes it sound like they are all Banes. Genuinely just curious, there was a dog school around the corner where I grew up but we never had a reason to go there so I don’t really know.

    For human officers, it's their gun, and none of them pass the test. In fact, you can try it yourself - next time you see a cop, reach for their gun - you'll see, they absolutely lose their minds.

    People shoot their friends in the head on livestream by accident probably 3x a year at least. It's astounding.

    Meanwhile in Canada I've been given shit by friends for muzzle sweeping with a bb gun.

    I hold an annual bb shooting tournament at home, my backyard is surrounded by building blocks and neighbors. and i also give shit f'or careless handling. Got two Red Ryder. They're lots of fun and there is no way i will get stopped from holding thé event because you can't bother to behave.

    No incidents ans i want it to stay that way.
