The few, the proud, the military canines
Using the same positive training techniques you probably use at home, military dogs are trained for a wide variety of tasks from bomb detection to patrol duties. You can read more about their training here and check out this awesome video of some four-legged recruits at “boot camp” on base in Texas.
Eko and I are working our way up to it…

Earlier today I came across this great series of photos of military canines in action that reminded me just how incredible these dogs are. The photos have definitely inspired me, so Eko and I are off to train, first for the Canine Good Citizen test and next for…jumping out of planes? One thing at a time I guess!
Military canines, Eko and I raise our hand/paw in salute of the great work you do!
