I wonder what the dogs must think when they are jumping out of an aircraft and into the sky.

After they have been trained and get used to it they probably look forward to doing it.

Sorta like sticking their heads out of the window of a car.

They are not scared. They know that Man takes them for a ride, ride ends, Dog gets to find ...bad guys...drugs...explosives...whatever. They are handsomely rewarded for their efforts.They do it because they love the Man or the Woman at the end of the leash.

I’m sure they start out small, training wise, and go BIGLY. They can’t have a dog afraid, it would start clawing and flailing. I’m amazed at how well trained these dogs are. I tried to get our pup into a life vest this summer and it was an epic fail lol.

I think for most of these dogs, a lot of it is fun and games. I worked, briefly and many years ago, with a now pretty famous shutzhund trainer and Belgian Malinois breeder. Course I had a Lab and she was very food motivated lol. We went to a few shutzhund “things”. It was very fascinating, but not my thing. I just need a dog that comes when called hahaha.
