until he was almost 5
yrs old, at which time the preachers schedule precluded keeping
Simon, and he came back to us.
We did some additional
training with Simon to get him "street ready" and
he is now a member Minneapolis Police Department. His handler has
two little girls and after a hard day at work, Simon goes
home and plays with them.
That department has a policy
of putting dogs, even those who have had police training, through
their own two-week course before allowing them to go on patrol.
They got Simon and tested him the same day, and the next morning
he was working on the street.
As part of their training,
we teach our dogs to bite on command, just like a sit or down command,
and also teach them not to bite, or to quit biting, on command.
Because of his great personality,
in addition to Simon's patrol duties, they now use him as their
exclusive public relations dog and he does all their demonstrations
for them.
