My neighbor is a k-nine PO...when he's off duty, his poor German Shepherd stays in a small kennel all the time...maybe 4'x10'...hottest hot weather and coldest cold weather...I go out on the deck and talk to him sometimes, i feel so bad for him...:(

If there was a god, the cop would be in the cage and the dog would have run of the house and access to the fridge. /jk

My dogs have a pretty extensive vocabulary...they know the words, do ya want supper, do ya wanna eat, do you have to go out, go poop, go pee, stop that, no, quiet, stop barking, ya ready to go to bed, get out of the kitchen, you know the drill, go downstairs, go out on the deck, twirl around, just to name a few...and they both know their names...so there...:2razz:

My dog doesn't know any of that. He's incredibly stupid and has to be reminded where his food bowl is placed in the same spot everyday. That's why his name is Dog. Don't want to get him more confused. But he does remember to pee on a nasty neighbor's rose bushes every day at least twice each day.

Maybe but I don't think you give them enough credit...my older dog tries to talk...at times it sounds exactly like he says nooooo when we tell him to stop barking...

BS dogs understand many words. https://www.independent.co.uk/news/...and-human-speech-scientists-say-a7216481.html

Can dogs understand what we say? | Dog Training | Animal Planet

"It turns out that people who talk to their dogs may be on to something. Studies show that the average dog can understand about 165 different words, in some cases more if you make a point of training them. This includes the basic commands such as "sit," "stay," and "go," as well as a range of other terms, assuming they're tangible words and not abstract ideas."

All labs are the best, except during the 1st year, teething. "Was that my couch?" Worth it. Can always replace a couch. But cleaning up the mess is a PITA. :)

My daughter has a lab Malamute mix. There are days when she's not sure if she will kill her kids or the dog first, but then the dog runs her a hot bubble bath. Her husband says "leave me out of this." He and the dog have a prior agreement based on beer and the dog not telling anyone her husband cheats when playing poker with their kids. :)

...and guaranteed to hit the intended targets too. Wait...software is written by people...so 50% chance it will hit the intended targets. On the plus side robots don't need to be trained and shown affection.

Sometime back I made a thread about how dogs are often inaccurate in sniffing out drugs and that there can be false positives where a police dog supposedly sniffs drugs when there are in fact no drugs. Well that's not the only reason why dogs should be banned from police use. Here is all the more reason why police should not be allowed to use dogs in their line of work.

They should be replaced by attack gerbils.

I give them lots of credit... but it is important to remain objective as well.
