100%. no professional trainer rewards unwanted behaviour, that's why they are professional trainers.
dumb people on twitter, who think unwanted behaviour is cute, on the other hand...
no professional trainer
We’re talking about cops, not professionals. The dog’s job is to watch the cop handler and bark when they indicate, but not be too obvious about it.
jesus, crawl back to your conspiracy hole.
It’s established scientific fact at this point. Police dogs have a 5-10% false positive rate in laboratory conditions which means it’s surely even higher in the field. Thats a completely unacceptable failure rate for justifying the ~~theft~~ “civil asset forfeiture” of brown people’s possessions. Please educate yourself on the matter instead of being a mindless bootlicker.
Edit: here is just the first link (probably not the best) for the search “drug dog efficacy study” to prove my point. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/24631776/

this is also established scientific fact? can i get some peer reviewed study, you clown?

I…gave you a peer reviewed study? So have a few others. You’ve got some reading to do today, but I doubt you will.

It's a big world out there, mate, with a loooooot of people in it. Do you never, ever, ever do a thing that you're not supposed to do?
Do you never, ever, ever do a thing that you’re not supposed to do?
people do stuff they are not supposed to do when they think there are not really consequences (say using recreational drugs), and people make mistakes. this is neither of these cases, this is intentionally doing something you know will have negative consequences and no positive one. and that is not what a professional does.
i am not a professional trainer, and i still do not intentionally reward dog for bad behaviour. that is fucked up thing to do, it is not cute, and you are shooting both yourself and your dog into your own leg.
same as professional drivers do not intentionally run red light and professional pilots do not continue landing when tower shouts at them "RUNWAY INCURSION, LANDING CLEARANCE CANCELED, GO AROUND!"
ok, this belonged to completely different discussion
~~i sometimes do things i am not supposed to do.~~ ~~but there are better and worse times for that. and the moment when doing bad thing may have disastrous consequences on your life (life fucking up your immigration process, which probably took some time and money to set up) is probably not the one to chose.~~
probably
But not impossibly.
while my answer above was for the wrong discussion, this is still objectively stupid answer. the fact you were unbothered by me suddenly talking about immigration process and you still picked up random word to negate it pretending that is discussion is like the most hilarious discussion fail i have ever seen on the internet.
