General Purpose Police Dog
For many years “manwork” had no definitive title. Criminal work, Guard Dog training, Protection Dog training, Bite Dog training and so on. All these styles were used variously to describe what is today universally referred to as “Manwork”. Karenswood (International) Ltd justifiably claims some of the credit for regulating the reference titles of so many exercises.
Karenswood (International) Ltd has not only influenced the original draft document preceding the Guard Dog Act 1967 but has also played a pivotal role in standardising training practices. This contribution extends to police and military establishments globally.
How Are Police Dogs Trained?
The training of General Purpose Police Dogs is a meticulous process. It involves a combination of specialised exercises to prepare them for the multifaceted roles they perform. Key elements in their training include:
Attack Work: Police dogs are trained to apprehend suspects when needed. This involves controlled aggression and precise commands to ensure effectiveness while minimising risks.
Agility Training: Agility is crucial for navigating various terrains and situations. Our dogs undergo training to enhance their agility, ensuring they can move swiftly and adapt to challenging environments.
Building/Area Search: Dogs are taught to search buildings or areas for hidden threats or individuals. This skill is vital for search and rescue operations as well as detecting potential dangers in confined spaces.
Tracking: The ability to track scents is honed in police dog training. This skill is invaluable in locating missing persons, fugitives or evidence at crime scenes.
