• I don't recommend that you train your family pet with police dog training tactics.
  If you want an obediant dog then there are many training websites that you could check out depending on the level of training you are interested in.


• Most use Schutzhund, a dignified German Police/Protection Dog Training Program.

  It involves bite work, scent discrimination, and protection work.
  
  It is not for everyone, but it is a highly prestigious and competitive dog "sport".
