Dog work: four-legged friends on guard

7
The “Polygon” team of the TV channel “T24” personally became convinced of the professionalism of these four-legged guys. The host of the program has mastered the basics of dog training, learned the features of the mine-search, search and rescue, and guard services, and also tried to follow the Dog-Biathlon track.





Alma mater quadrupeds


470-th training center service dog breeding of the Armed Forces of Russia is known throughout the world. It includes the kennel "Red Star", where unique breeds of dogs are breeding. History The kennel started back in the 20s of the last century, when it was still small and contained only 40 dogs. During its existence, the center of service dog breeding has been constantly developing. Its graduates went through World War II, Afghanistan, Chechnya and dozens of other military conflicts.

Dogs are divided into groups by the nature of their activities, mainly guard and guard breeds, but among them there are also sappers, signalers and medical orderlies. In the nursery you can even find unique breeds of four-legged. For example, the Russian black terrier. The breed was bred back in 50-s, crossing a giant schnauzer, Airedale Terrier and Rottweiler. From the first terrier got the appearance - black color and long hair, from the second - a powerful body, and from the third - absolute fearlessness. But it is worth noting that such a breed can be trained only in the hands of an experienced dog handler.

Furry fighters attack


The “Polygon” program team of the TV channel “T24” decided to watch the training of the well-known German shepherd dog. The main feature of this breed is that it can easily change its owner, which is important for employees of the patrol service. By the way, in the nursery you can meet the East-European Shepherd, to put it in the language of a motorist, the "restyled" version of the usual one. They are larger and quieter than the latter.

For training the dog handler uses a special sleeve, which is designed to hone the skills of good grasp in dogs. Of course, when an enraged dog rushes headlong at you, the thought involuntarily arises, “but will he really bite at the sleeve, and not at the throat, for example”? Training to beat the limbs first is justified, because it is usually in the hands of the attacker weapon.

For watch and guard dogs, body weight sometimes plays a crucial role. It is worth telling here about one more breed that was born by crossing five dogs: a Caucasian and a German Shepherd, a Russian Pinto Hound, a Russian Hound, and a St. Bernard. Moscow Watchdog is a good-natured giant with a melancholic look and a strongly developed watchdog instinct.

It is worth noting that when selecting a service tandem, it is necessary to take into account the psycho-physiological compatibility of the military and the dog, because the latter also have their own unique character and temperament. By the way, they try to train four-legged fighters in groups so that the reflex of imitation joins in the dogs, and they are more willing to repeat the actions of their fellows.

Mine-searching four-legged craftsmen


If the dog kennel is a kind of nursery or elementary school, then the 66-th Training Center for Engineering Troops is already a specialized educational institution. From Vladivostok to Kaliningrad, from the Marine Corps to the engineering troops - everyone needs mine search dogs. Here, on the basis of the center, the four-legged fighters from the “Red Star” will mature and strengthen in the course of the 3-s monthly course. The center consists of a town mine search service, where pets are directly kept in special enclosures. Although the dog is taught the same substance as trotyl, nevertheless 80% of graduates are able to find other substances, such as plastids, hexogen, even without retraining. Moreover, the animal is able to find explosives at depths up to 30, see

By the way, mine-searching dogs are forbidden to use with mortar strikes, as well as when covering the grass 30-40, see, as there may be stretch marks and other unpleasant surprises that dogs may not notice. For example, in Syria, terrorists used other distracting factors: in the area of ​​mining, they crushed trotyl and threw tobacco.

In the process of filming the program, the presenter of “Polygon” even managed to take part in the “True Loyal” competition of military dog ​​trainers. The competition included the 4 stages: an individual race (it’s a dog biathlon), an obstacle for a while, a defensive service when the dog shows its protective properties, and the fourth, the most spectacular, is the team relay.

Some four-legged pets meet us after work, others protect the rest of the whole state. Every year dog handlers prepare professional fluffy fighters for our special services. These four-legged heroes took out the wounded from themselves on the battlefield and bravely went on reconnaissance during the Great Patriotic War, in Afghanistan and Syria they took care of human lives without sparing their own. And in peacetime, you can always hear their warning barking at the borders. These are our faithful helpers who protect not for medals and orders, but for delicacy or a battered toy.

    About the only attack of border guard dogs against fascists in WWII.

    On July 30, covering the withdrawal of the headquarters units of the command of the army group, near the village of Legedzino, he accepted his last battle ... On July XNUMX, the forces were too unequal: against the fifty thousand border guards, a regiment of fascists. And at a critical moment, when the Germans launched another attack, Major Lopatin gave the order to send hand-to-hand combat with fascists border guards and service dogs. This was the last reserve.

    The spectacle was terrible: 150 trained, half-starved shepherds, against the Nazis watering them with machine-gun fire. Shepherds dug into the throats of the Nazis, even in dying convulsions. The enemy, literally bitten and chopped with bayonets, retreated, but tanks came to the rescue. Bite German infantry, with lacerations, with screams of horror, jumped on the armor of tanks and shot the poor dogs. In this battle, all 500 border guards were killed, not one of them surrendered. And the surviving dogs, according to eyewitnesses, remained faithful to their guides to the end. Each of those who survived in that meat grinder lay down near her master and didn’t let anyone near him. German animals shot every shepherd, and those who weren’t shot by the Germans refused food and died of starvation on the field ... Even rural dogs got it - Germans shot large dogs of the villagers, even those who were on a leash. Only one shepherd was able to crawl to the hut and fell at the door.
    The faithful four-legged friend was sheltered, went out, and the villagers learned from the collar on it that they were border dogs.

    You can talk and talk about our best friends. The family lived an English cocker. They were brought from Germany, where his father served, but the dog lived in Leningrad most of his life. In those days, few people kept dogs; in the class I had one dog. But really they live a little. I could not imagine my subsequent life without a dog, it did not work out, which I really regret. Good luck to our best friends, helpful and simple.
