The K-9 Team

"The K-9 Team"

When duty calls, we’re first in line,

To face danger in the night.

They call on us, when it matters most,

We’re ready for the fight.

We’ve trained in darkness, rain and snow,

To be ready for the call.

And when it comes, we do our best,

To make the evil fall.

Through all the days and nights we’ve worked,

You’ve been there by my side.

You’ve never failed to do the tasks,

And performed them all with pride.

While some may call you just a beast,

They just don’t understand.

It’s just a game, you’ve learned to play,

To catch the evil man.

Some may call you man’s best friend,

But to me you’re even more.

Through thick and thin, you’ve served with me,

You’re loyal to the core.

And some of us, though only few,

Know what it really means,

To wear the badge, to hold the leash,

To be a K-9 team.

NOTE:
Training tips appearing in this portion of the web site are just that, "Training Tips". Do not take these as meaning that they are the only way to train K9 teams. There are probably as many training techniques, theories, beliefs and practices used by people as there are dogs. The only thing that is common among them all is the specific goal intended for that particular training session or tip. When problem solving tips appear, they to are just one of many. You must remember that no two dogs are the same and one method of doing something does not work on every single dog. Training techniques must be flexible from dog to dog. Please keep an open mind when reading these tips. Use what you can, modify what you want and discard what you wish. Please feel free to contact NAPWDA with your questions or comments.
