Institute of Supervision Unit Canine Rome

Supervisory Canine Rome

As is the case, most commonly in all law enforcement, as the State Police, the Carabinieri, the Guardia di Finanza, etc. ... even our Institute is approved by the Supervisory Authority for Public Safety use of sniffer dogs . The choice of the use of dogs is because in many areas are more efficient than one man or the technology that exists today.

They are very useful in the defense of the person and work of shoplifting or the protection of heritage. Become essential in the search for substances such as explosives or drugs.

By definition, the canine unit is the pair composed by a man, said conductor, and a dog. The dog, by its very nature, needs to recognize, in what will be its future tenant, the "leader of the pack," namely the pre-eminent figure of reference. This is the first critical step in a job training aspects aiming at establishment of a tight-knit dog. Only a dog, which recognizes the conductor in its pair of strong party, will react favorably to the commands given to him. Crucial is also the harmony that must be formed within the combination, which can be defined as "symbiotic."

As mentioned previously, the fields in which they operate our dogs are different and as you can well imagine the preparation and therefore the training provided to the single unit is diverse, depending on the type of work to go play. For this reason, each unit is specialized in a particular discipline. Our choice was made not to force the dog to learn more diversified with each concept, which later could lead to a state of confusion.

The choice of our dogs used in the work of supervision is based on various criteria, ranging from the morphology of the animal to its qualities of character, or temperament, his disposition to play, openness, and curiosity.

The breeds chosen for our services are German Shepherds, the Malinois, Labrador, and some types of Molossoidi.

The training methods used are set so as to make ready for any eventuality both the dog and its handler. And that is why, in the phase preceding the entry into service unit, the handler learns to know the full behavior of your dog, so as to be able to interpret all the signals that the dog wants to convey.

Throughout the training phase are not used coercive methods, which can lead to psychological imbalance of the animal. It is very important work to be played by the conductor in the phase preceding the entry into service, because all the concepts that will be given to the preparatory work that is going to do.
