Last October, during a US military raid, "terrorist leader" Baghdadi had no choice but to commit suicide. It was a US military K9 Belgian Malinois that drove him to the wall.
It is reported that after years of collecting clues, the US military finally grasped Baghdadi's whereabouts and carried out a raid code-named "Keira Miller". With no way to escape, Baghdadi wore a suicide vest and hid in a tunnel under the compound. Since Baghdadi brought the child with him, the U.S. military was unable to carry out a strong attack, so it arranged a Belgian Malinois dog to carry out the hunting mission.
After receiving the order, the Belgian Malinois frantically chased Baghdadi. The "terrorist leader" who once had 100,000 men under his command was chased so hard that he burst into tears. The US described it as crying. Gotta be like a kid. In the end, Baghdadi was desperate and detonated his suicide vest, killing himself. The Belgian Malinois also successfully completed its mission and received a commendation.
For many years, the US military has been fond of training Belgian Malinois As military dogs, dogs of this breed are very aggressive and athletic, and are very intelligent and loyal. They can play an important role in tracking, patrolling, searching, etc. As for how to train this type of dog, there are also professional methods:
1. Tracking skill training
Choose a piece of land with soft soil or short grass. At the venue, tie the dog up and tease it with the target object. When the dog is eager to get it, the trainer quickly leaves the dog for about five meters. After leaving obvious footprints at the starting point, he lays out a trail of 30 to 50 meters in a dragging manner. , place the target object on the ground at the end of the trace;
Return according to the original line to form a double line trace, take the dog to the starting point of the trace, hold the leash in your left hand, sniff the source with your right hand, and say "trace" ” command;
When the dog lowers its head to sniff the trace, it should be rewarded promptly with the command “good”, and the command “track” should be issued intermittently. When the dog reaches the end point and obtains the target object, a certain reward should be given. . The training can be repeated two to three times according to the dog's excitement, and the difficulty increases with the dog's proficiency.
2. Patrol skills training
In remote and clean areas, choose a patrol line of 700 to 800 meters. The assistant trainer should hide upwind forty to fifty meters away from the patrol line;
The trainer leads the dog from the starting point at a medium speed, stopping every fifty meters or so to make the dog move towards surrounding viewObserve and listen quietly. When approaching the trainer, the trainer makes noises or moves in a low posture;
When the dog finds the trainer, the trainer should issue a pursuit command. After completing the pursuit, press When the original line reaches the end, a certain reward will be given.
3. Search skills training
Search for drugs or explosives hidden in objects: Hide the drugs or explosives, bring the dog to the scene, and the dog Start searching after sniffing the source of the smell. When the dog finds the above items and shows signs of picking or biting, the dog should be stimulated with a traction rope or electric current in time to stop such behavior and make it lie down.
Searching for drugs or explosives on people: This type of training is mainly to train the dog to be good at sniffing the human body carefully and eliminate the dog's defensive reflex. You can first let the dog sniff people who are standing or sitting still. Then let the dog sniff the crowds of people passing by, starting with four to six people and gradually increasing.
After becoming proficient, you can adjust the size of drugs and explosives, and set interfering smells, such as perfume, food, camphor, etc., to increase the difficulty of training.
Compared to aircraft carriers and stealth fighters, this type of Belgian Malinois may not seem that eye-catching, but they are also valuable assets to the military. Well-trained Belgian Malinois may play a key role in special moments.
