Importance Of Military Working Dogs

By Betty King


These pets are always there for soldiers no matter the situation because they are trained and have to stick with their commanders during happy and sad times. Therefore, military working dogs are not ordinary pets since they understand the moods of their counterparts and know the best time to react and work.

The first thing you should know about these pets is that they know what to do, where to do it and why to do since they have gone through training in different operations and to serve as soldiers. Therefore it is not easy to make them do anything not trained to do hence making those more like people.

After the Second World War, the troops who were deployed to fight for their country were encouraged by circumstances to acquire and train them for their operations. Therefore they requested the people leaving around them to donate their dog pets to them for trained and use in military operations.

Donations were made to the military and they divided them into groups in order to train each group separately on different operations. Therefore they were released to see what they have become after the twelfth week and the group was named K-9 which was helping the army during g the war. They were well prepared as they all served in different ways.

Being trained to sit, stay and carryout commands, they were made accustomed to the noises which were made during the way. They were also shown the way to travel in the army vehicles hence making them a part of the team and encouraging the soldiers during the war. There were many other things in which trained on as highlighted below.

During this time, they were trained in the ways to understand the human language like when they are asked to sit, run, and ride on the military vans among other commands in which they could receive from the commanders. They were also made to understand the sounds which came during the battle hence making them reliable not to run during the war due to the gunshot sounds.

These pets were made to know and detect the mines and they were best when curried on vehicles hence making the battle simple. This is because they were trained well making it easy to know the fields in which was not supposed to pass on during the war. Cleaning the fields was made possible because of the pets and there were only few casualties of the mines during the operation.

Some of these pets were trained to become very sensitive so they could be abler to smell a booby trap from the field where the soldiers were to pass and alert them on the different location where they are set. Therefore they became very helpful and today, they are trained in large numbers making it possible for the police to have some of them in order to be able to catch the criminals easily.
