[quote1327635227=Astibus]I am just genuinely curious if these police officers were actual K9 officers experienced in PP training or rather officers that one could consider novices when it comes to PP dogs and training? I am just wondering why experienced K9 officers (in case they were) would favor anything but proven police K9s. I will trust your honest reply on this - no references or videos necessary. [/quote1327635227] Both..and then some. Even some who own security companies with working dogs...or some that have large government contracts as well have gotten dogs from us to use as their PERSONAL dogs for their homes AFTER they tested them. Some have felt the service dogs were too edgy around their family. Others don't feel that way. I think some of that depends upon what TYPE of family they have. If you change your mind and would like to PM me, I can give you names.
