“I wonder what the dogs must think when they are jumping out of an aircraft and into the sky.
**********************************
I hope they’re not afraid.”
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.

Some dogs are naturally more inclined to enjoy jumping off of things than others.

Thanks for sharing that Petey.
Spot on. I'm a professional dog trainer(hopefully not doxing myself) I have one bomb dog in Afghanistan, but I train Labrador retrievers to hunt and run field trials. A field trial dog makes a great bomb dog or drug or cadaver dog.
they start out super small and work incrementally. The dogs are rarely scared. These dogs are started with ENS (early nuerological stimulation) before they even open their eyes.(p)
If you are interested google ENS for dogs and see what they do. The Malinois that chased down the terrorist almost surely went through all of this.
