I'm not sure how this is 🥺🥺🥺, the trainer is literally reinforcing negative behaviour
False hits are considered positive behaviour. Drug dogs are just for show to violate citizens rights. A loophole.
Drug dogs are probably less accurate than the pseudo science "lie detector" test.
Police dogs are even worse. Their entire purpose is to find and severely injure a suspect and turn them into a felon. Here's how it works. Cops release dog on suspect. Dog finds suspect and begins to severely attack suspect. Suspect tries to fight the dog ripping a hole in its arm or leg. Suspect is now guilty of assaulting an officer. At this point is doesn't matter if the suspect was guilty of anything else. They are now a felon.
Well the whole thing is a charade to enable arbitrary searchers...
It's 🥺🥺🥺 because it's a fake story made by a child.
He is a drug AND pizza dog. His trainer probably gets an awful lot of free pizza.
Sausage is a common first step in training dogs from what ive read. Train the pup on find the chunks of sausage the handler has hidden and he gets them, then switch to treats, then swap out the sausage for drugs/ bombs.
I wonder if the dog signals whenever he smells pizza with sausage on it, remembering the first stage of the training.
"negative"
Hard disagree
Given that it's a drug dog, getting people pulled over and potentially locked up for no reason is indeed a negative. More so if this was in the US
Well for one, I was joking... But that's not really how drug dogs work. You wouldn't be locked up for a false positive unless the cops literally plant something on you, and at that point I'm not sure if it even matters if a dog was involved or not.
Saying "the dog barked at him" isn't evidence, they'd still need to produce the actual drugs.
Fair, that's not likely to happen in most countries. Getting a deep search because a doggo took a liking to your lunch is still going to be annoying as hell though.
