It's been a while... Sorry! It's been a busy few months with work. My little dog team have been training hard, trying to improve our core skills and as per previous blogs, continuous training can only make us better! It's been good and with the aid of my instructor, we are seeing progression. Next week we head off to our colleagues at Surrey Police HQ for our Annual Refresher course. A good intensive week of training with other dog handlers and a great chance to add some training ideas to the 'tool box'. PD Abbi has been working well, helping in the detention of two males recently who broke into a leisure complex in Eastbourne and fled the scene into the darkness. One of the local Sergeants stopped 2 males about 1/2 a mile away who were out of breath. Abbi, using her hunting abilities, tracked straight to them! Answer that one lads! Good positive result! PD Neo has been busy too though. He found a quantity of cash secreted in clothing recently during a search warrant. he also located a small quantity of ketamine in a car. Still quite a new controlled substance which is coming to light more and more. Neo has been searching across the whole force! The boy loves it! He is such a great dog as I often harp on about! Sadly he is entering the twilight of his Police career and is due to retire in the late summer this year. It will be odd but I will be off training my new recruit! Neo has worked hard and deserves to put his pads up! I'm hoping to catch up with James, Baxter and Diesel soon to throw some ideas about for our blogs. We will hopefully look at doing some vlogs too! Until the next time, keep following the paw, your interest and ongoing support is greatly received.
