Military dogs jumping from the back and biting are the basis for difficult training subjects such as jumping out of windows and cars. It is of great significance to the collaborative execution of special operations missions between humans and dogs. The comprehensive expression of quality. Therefore, mastering the training method of military dogs jumping and biting is crucial to the formation and improvement of military dogs' later abilities and to fully develop the combat effectiveness of human dogs.

Principles of training for military dogs to jump from the back and bite

Typical application scenarios for military dogs to jump from the back and bite are usually platforms with a certain height, breaking into medium and large vehicles, and using the back of personnel Implementing a second jump and bite, etc., and using human-dog coordination to jump and bite from behind under specific conditions, can achieve rapid control, defeat the enemy with one move, and unexpected combat effects. In the daily training of military dog ​​jumping training, the principles of "step by step, from simple to complex, tailored to the dog's conditions, treated separately, human-dog collaboration, and group use" must be adhered to during the training. Strict training, scientific training, and flexibility must be adhered to. Training requirements to ensure the quality and level of training.

How to train military dogs to jump and bite

The prerequisites for jumping and biting training are: military dogs should have good running and jumping ability, hunting motivation and ferocity. The training environment should transition from clean and simple conditions to complex conditions, and training equipment should be used in combination with a variety of equipment such as flying targets, youth sleeve protectors, adult sleeve protectors, and full-body target clothing. Military dog ​​jumping back training requires the cooperation of multiple assistant trainers, here the author names them Assistant Trainer A and Assistant Trainer B (back pad).

(1) Initial training of military dogs from their backs and bites< /p>

1. Use the obstacle platform to induce conditioned reflexes in the dog (reward for stepping on the platform). Use items such as long tables or tires to build an obstacle. Assistant trainer A uses a target sleeve to tease the dog on one side of the obstacle. The handler pulls the dog on the other side and prepares the dog to bite. During the bite, assistant trainer A should Raise the target sleeve high. Since the assistant trainer A raises the target sleeve, the dog can only get the target sleeve by stepping on the obstacle. If the dog does not step on the obstacle, the trainer will not reward the dog and will lead it back to the original place for retraining. . After repeated training, the dog can steadily step on obstacles and bite, and then the training can be converted.

2. Use the trainer’s back to induce a conditioned reflex in the dog (reward by stepping on the back). When the dog can stably use the obstacle to make a second jump and bite, let an assistant trainer B lie flat on the obstacle in advance. Assistant trainer A initiates teasing to the dog on one side, and the trainer leads the dog on the other side. Launch an attack. During the attack, trainer A moves the target sleeve to the top of trainer B's back, and the trainer uses the leash to guide the dog to step on trainer B's back to use force. At this time, if the dog dares not step on the back of trainer B due to the pressure brought by trainer B, the trainer will not reward the dog and pull it back to its original position for retraining. When retraining, the handler should fully encourage the dog, eliminate the dog's concerns, and train repeatedly so that the dog can achieve the ability to stably step on the assistant trainer's back.

3. Back conversion training. When assistant trainer B is lying flat on the obstacle and the dog can step on assistant trainer B's back well, back-side switching training can be performed. Assistant trainer B needs to change his posture, put his feet on the ground and face away from the trainer, protect his head with both hands, and bend down so that his body is above the obstacle. In this position, the dog uses the force to step on the back of trainer B. The training method is the same as above. When the dog can better use the helper's back to step and leap, it can enter the mid-term training.

(2) Mid-term training of jumping, back-biting and biting training of military dogs

1. Obstacle removal training. After the dog completes the initial training, the obstacles can be removed. Assistant Trainer B bends his body and legs, with his back parallel to the ground in a back-padded posture. Assistant trainer A holds the target on the left side of assistant trainer B for induction. The trainer leads the dog to attack from the right side of assistant trainer B. Before the attack, assistant trainer A places the target on the top of assistant trainer B's back. This guides the dog to step on the back for transitional training. If the dog steps on it with force, it can be rewarded. If it does not step on it, it needs to return to the original place and start again. When the dog knows how to step on the back of trainer B, trainer A can gradually move the target back and raise it higher according to the actual situation of the dog, so as to increase the distance from trainer B, so that the dog can take off with all its strength.

2. Rear traction jump back training. After the obstacle is removed, the dog can use the force to jump and attack on the right side of assistant trainer B. The trainer changes the position of the dog from the right side of assistant trainer B to the rear position, and assistant trainer A is in front of assistant trainer B. Take the target for induction. Assistant trainer A places the target on the back of assistant trainer B and raises it high. The trainer uses the leash to guide the dog to use the back of assistant trainer B to step on it and use the force to attack. If the dog steps on it and borrows the force, it can be rewarded. If it does not step on it, it needs to pull back to the original position and start again. When the dog knows how to step on the back of trainer B, trainer A can gradually move the target back and raise it higher according to the actual situation of the dog, increasing the distance from trainer B, so that the dog can take off with all its strength.

(3) Later training of military dogs to jump from their backs and bite< /p>

1. After the dog has mastered the training of stepping on the back of trainer B, set up a platform with a length, width and height of 2 to 3 meters in an open area, and trainer A stands on the platform to control the dog. To tease, trainer B faces the platform in a back-supporting posture. The trainer takes the dog 3 meters away from the platform and uses the leash to guide the dog to run forward and step on trainer B's back to use the force to complete the second jump. Assistant Trainer A attacks.

2. Repeat the previous step until the dog can stably complete the back-stepping training under the guidance of the trainer. The trainer will replace the traction belt with a tracking rope and adjust the distance between the dog and the platform. Stretch and use the tracking rope to complete control of the dog. Under the provocation of assistant trainer A, the trainer did not move and directly ordered the dog to attack. When the dog appeared not to step on the back of assistant trainer B, the trainer immediately used the tracking rope to control the dog. Repeated training enables dogs to form stable conditioned reflexes.

3. After the dog can stably use the back of trainer B to attack, the platform can be slowly raised according to the actual jumping situation of the dog, and the platform can be set in different positions or use Training can be carried out in other appropriate buildings in different scenes to enable the dog to adapt to different scenes, laying the foundation for the next step of using force to bite in complex situations.

(4) Actual combat simulation training of military dogs jumping back and biting

When the dog can reach the later training level, we can gradually adapt the dog to different types of actual combat simulation training, such as Actions such as breaking into public transportation and breaking into low-rise buildings are integrated into typical combat mission scenarios to further enhance the effectiveness of human-dog collaborative operations.

Precautions for military dogs jumping back and biting

First, the change of posture by assistant trainer B will cause some adverse reactions of military dogs, such as not daring to step on, stepping on the wrong side, etc., training The trainer should correct it patiently. If there is a problem, do not reward or stimulate. Take the dog to the original position and start again. The dog will adjust on its own. Assistant trainer A will adjust the position of the target appropriately according to the dog's condition. Repeat the training to make the dog fully adapt to the assistant trainer. B's posture.

Second, due to the change of scene when the dog is training on the platform for the first time, the dog may jump onto the platform directly to attack without stepping on the back of assistant trainer B. When this happens, the trainer should Use the traction belt to stop it in time, so that the dog can fully understand that only by stepping on the back of trainer B and jumping twice can it complete the training and obtain the target sleeve reward.

Third, before training, trainers should communicate more with assistant trainers, familiarize themselves with the training process and reward links, and grasp the training timing. Both parties should cooperate well during the training process. During the training, the movements of both the trainer and the assistant trainer must be realistic, and they must cooperate tacitly. It is necessary to prevent the assistant trainer from putting on or taking off protective clothing or biting equipment in front of the dog.

Fourth, the difficulty must be appropriately increased and conditionally lowered during training. In the middle stage of training, a long leash should be used to control the dog. The handler guides the dog to step on the correct position, and effectively uses the long leash to prevent the dog from stepping off or not stepping when jumping.

Fifth, assistant trainer A should complete the training of guiding the military dog ​​to jump on its back with the cooperation of assistant trainer B. Before training, carefully check whether protective gear, protective clothing, traction ropes and other equipment are firm and intact.

Sixth, strictly organize training to prevent dogs from biting and hurting people. The attitude of trainers and assistant trainers must be serious and no playfulness is allowed. Dogs are not allowed to play with the bite sleeve at will to prevent the dog from developing the bad habit of biting the bite sleeve.

Seventh, during the training process, the assistant trainer should be the main one, paying attention to the dog's behavioral performance and grasping the starting and ending changes. The trainer should understand its intentions and cooperate. After the training, both parties will analyze and summarize the training situation.

The eighth is to pay attention to role positioning and perform their duties. During the training process, the handler is the main stimulator of the dog, and the assistant trainer must play the role of leading, assisting, and correcting in the training position.
