That is one very well trained police dog! Did he seem like a happy dog in general? I am not very familiar with the way police dogs are trained, and am trying to find out more. Could he be relaxed and affectionate, or was he always sort of reserved and on duty? There was a situation where I live recently where two policepeople were dating, and the policeman left his police dog around the policewoman's small children, even though the rule was that he had to leave the dog in the garage, behind closed doors. Even though the couple was sort of living together and he knew the children fairly well, he ended up badly biting the four-year-old boy. The news report made me curious about their training. Shelties are all a little bit crazy. If we are all in the car and my husband gets out at the gas station, this dog totally freaks out because he has lost control of his herd, and starts barking and spinning wildly in the back. And when we all come back to the car when we are finished playing in the park, he runs around it in a counter-clockwise direction several times. He has all these sweet little herding rituals. Very nice dogs, very intelligent, usually shy and totally devoted to their immediate families, and more specifically to one person in that family. I can never find him when I look ahead because he is almost always right behind my left knee.
