Police dog unmoved in face of sausage temptation

-

The trainers of a detachment of Chinese First Mobile Force of the Armed Police recently organized a police dog assessment to test the obedience and anti- disturbanc­e abilities of police dogs. In the test, a 4- year- old Malinois Heilong ( which means black dragon), completed the task brilliantl­y, facing a ham sausage placed in front of him with calm and poise.

The police dog test also included obeying a “standstill” command and response to firecracke­rs being set off.

In the test, the dogs sat in pre- drawn square areas. If they left their designated position, they would be eliminated. To further test the canine’s determinat­ion, the team of judges used ham sausages to increase the disturbanc­e. But in the face of this temptation, Heilong showed no sign of being moved. Later, the trainer lit a long string of firecracke­rs to simulate the sound of gunfire to see if the dogs would be frightened and scatter, but once again Heilong was equally at ease and completed the test with flying colors.

The police dog squad has led dogs in several regional competitio­ns, reported media.
