Companions, Workers, Helpers all on Four Legs!

Dogs over the years have become a very integral part of our lives. They are our loyal companions. They do not talk back, they do not judge us, they are there when we need their companionship and their help.

Today we use dogs for a wide range of tasks. There are dogs to lead the blind, help people in wheelchairs, visit sick people in hospitals, sniff out drugs and so much more.

Of course for a dog to get to this point, extensive training is necessary. For some dogs they are specifically bred for some of these tasks. For example the Seeing Eye breeds their own German Shepherds, Labrador Retrievers, Golden retrievers and Labrador/Golden crosses. These dogs spend time with a foster family until they are old enough to return for training.

It is the foster family’s responsibility to love, care for and give gentle guidance to this possible future Seeing Eye dog. This dog will allow somehow who is visually impaired lead a normal independent life.

The foster family plays a very important part in the training process. They will be building the foundation for the intense training that these dog will go through.

They need to show this puppy as much of the outside world as possible. For example they need exposure to things such as traveling in a car, sounds, sudden noises, other animals, crowds etc. These dogs can not be spooked by these things when they are working as a Seeing Eye Dog.

If for some reason these dogs do not pass their training they are offered back to the foster family as a pet or are placed in a home or possibly another agency that will use the dog such as a police department.

Even though many of us that have dogs will never train our dog to this extent it is very important that we at least teach our dog the basics of obedience.

Our dogs need to learn how to walk on a leash, sit, lay down and come when called. Of course they also need to be housebroken. This training as I have said before starts the day we bring them home. You can’t let that puppy run amuck for three months and then expect them to pick up on the training right away. You need to build the foundation blocks for future training.

One thing that people do seem to let a new puppy get away with is nipping. Some people seem to think since they still have their baby teeth it is no big deal. The nip just seems like a little love bite. What happens when your puppy outgrows those baby teeth and is still nipping? Well if you have a large breed dog I would say that someone could get seriously hurt. Even a small breed can do a lot of damage.

Would it not have been easier when the puppy first started this to correct it and refocus his biting over to an acceptable toy? Yes, I know, it is just so cute when they are biting your hand and growling when they are so small but it is not cute when they grow up and those jaws have enough force to not only break the skin but possibly break a bone.

Another thing that people tend to do when their puppy is small is to play rough with the puppy. The rough play does tire them out but unfortunately you are teaching them that this is acceptable behaviour. As they grow and become stronger they are going to be harder to handle. Wouldn’t it be better to walk them or teach them to fetch a ball or a frisbee? This will also tire them out.

Even though you have introduced some bad habits right away these dogs are still very trainable. It may take a little longer, so remember to be patient when you are training. If you have the time and the patience you can teach you dog many things. Just training the basics is a good start but you can have so much fun teaching them other things as well. Not only will it tire them out but it will help you also.

Winter can be a miserable time of the year for those of us that get cold weather and snow. However I find it a great time to be out in the yard with the dogs. Their first snow has to be the funniest. Nothing to me is funnier than watching a dog catch a snowball and wondering where it went. The look on there face is priceless.

German Shepherd Malinois

January 15th, 2009 admin No comments

german shepherd malinois
is it good to have a cross breed belgian malinois than a pure breed malinois?

people have said that belgian malinois pure breed puppies tend to be stubborn and very high drive dogs. pain on the neck to train, so i am thinking to have a cross breed belgian malinois to neutralize the effects of the dog behavior, since i love belgian malinois breeds. they also say that belgian malinois are much stronger and protective compared to german shepherds.

thanks

Well, there is an interesting question. I have owned malinois since 1980 and they are the most wonderful breed in the world. The epitomy of a working dog. Not the easiest dogs to live with because of reasons you mentioned above. Iknow because I have had as many as 10 of them at a time at home and I have trained hundreds more.
Now, there are mixed malinois and I owned several of them. They are not as easy to live with either because for some reason malinois genes are VERY dominant. There are breeders who intentionally mix malinois with shepherds for larger size and to intensify certain working qualities. It happens all the time with serious dog sport breeders in Holland and Belgium where the emphasis is on working/competing ability, not the show ring. There are no REAL 90-plus pound pure malinois, but, there are plenty of them currently competing in the NVBK and KNPV.
Malinois are very hyper, highstrung, dominant, aggressive, possesive, high drive animals and that is exactly what makes them the best dogs in the world.

Faithful, Devoted, Cherished

Military Working Dogs (MWD’s) were utilized long before the invention of gun powder. The first known force to use MWD’s is the Roman Empire. Many European countries have taken advantage of the canine’s senses since approximately 55 B.C. and continue to do so today.

A recommendation was made by the American Expeditionary Forces during World War I that dogs be used as sentries, messengers, patrol aids, and special supply missions. Upon review, the request was denied by G-3 General Headquarters.

Surprisingly the United States military did not begin an official program for MWD’s until 1942. The first military dogs were used to assist soldiers with guard duty. On July 1, 1942 the first large request for MWD’s came from Camp Hale in Colorado. Over 100 dogs were requested to be used as messenger, sledge, and scent dogs.

Once the United States joined the ranks of countries utilizing Military Working Dogs, the program exploded. The first MWD reception and training center was opened in Front Royal, Virginia in August 1942. By July 1943 more than 10,000 dogs had been procured by the U.S. military. During the early stages of the MWD program the military had a list of more than 23 acceptable breeds.

At the start of the Korean War the Military Working Dog program had been reduced from six platoons down to one. The remaining platoon consisted of a commanding officer, platoon sergeant, veterinarian, eighteen handlers and 27 dogs. In May 1951 the first squad of the remaining MWD platoon left for Korea with the rest arriving in January 1952.

During the Korean Conflict the MWD program was greatly expanded in usefulness and numbers. By the end of the war the dogs were performing the duties of sentry dog and scout dog.

The largest concentrated effort of use of dogs and handlers during any time of war for the United States was during the Vietnam War. Now being used by all four branches of the U.S. military, at least 3,747 dogs served in Vietnam.

Air Force sentry dog teams were sent to Vietnam first in July 1965 to determine how the dogs would tolerate the tropical conditions. The first deployment consisted of 40 handlers and 40 dogs sent from Lackland AFB for a 120-day temporary duty. The MWD’s adjusted well to the climate staying for the duration of the war as a valuable asset. The teams of handlers and dogs are credited with saving over 10,000 lives.

In August 1990 the Military Working Dogs were once again called to duty. The United States military deployed 118 MWD teams who would serve during Operation Desert Shield and Desert Storm.

Military Working Dogs and their handlers continue to serve our country today within the borders of the United States as well as countries throughout the world. The deployments include combat as well as routine military duty.

Since 1999 the preferred breeds that are trained as Military Working Dogs are the German Shepherd, Belgian Malinois, Dutch Shepherd, and Retrievers. Each dog is trained to perform the duties that best match the strengths of the breed. For approximately 66 years MWD’s have been trained to serve in one or more of the following classifications: Sentry Dog, Attack Dog, Tactical Dog, Silent Scout Dog, Messenger Dog, Casualty Dog, Sledge Dog, or Pack Dog.

On November 6, 2000 the 106th United States Congress approved Resolution H.R. 5314 which authorized the promotion of adoption of retired Military Working Dogs. The resolution outlines the following specifics of the adoption process: a) Availability for Adoption; b) Suitability for Adoption; e) Authorized Recipients; d) Consideration; and e) Limitations of Liability for Transferred Dogs.
