We suggest avoiding these breeds for service dog work. Yes, there are exceptions, but what's written here is the general rule.

GSD and Malinois Vocalization and Other Problems in Service Dog Careers Why do German Shepherds and Belgian Malinois bark at everything and act “reactive”? Why doesn’t extensive socialization and training always help?

These days, we tend not to think of the marvelous Airedale Terrier as a police dog, but the breed’s history most certainly includes a chapter of such work.

British Colonel Edwin Hautenville Richardson extensively trained Airedales for the War Dog Program (1900-1918) and during World War I, Airedales were used as sentries, to locate wounded soldiers, as messenger dogs, and to signal for help. After the war was over, Airedales were adopted into the British police forces, and indeed, in 1910, Glasgow became the one of the first police forces in Britain to recruit canine officers.

Rather than using German Shepherds, it was Airedale terriers that were trained in Carnoustie. To learn why, we circle back to Lt Col Richardson who after the war, had contacted every chief constable in the UK with the suggestion that his Airedales would be useful in law enforcement.

As it happened, Richardson’s letter came at a fortuitous time in Glasgow. The city had been shocked by a fatal shooting of an armed robber in the home of wealthy Glasgow family in 1908. Crime had been on the increase, and citizens wanted something done.

Two years later, Richardson’s letter arrived at police headquarters in Glasgow’s St Andrew’s Square. Impressed by the work of police protection dogs in Belgium, and needing protection during dangerous nighttime patrols, the local constabulary was ripe to try something new.

The purchase of four dogs from Lt Col Richardson was authorized at the cost of £21 – which, if our calculations are right, is roughly equal to $568.57 today in US dollars. The dogs worked out for about three years, and then the program was phased out

I hate to break it to you, but it's true.

This questionable dog wisdom has circulated and been championed, without question, for years.

And while I get the sentiment, and the simple logic behind it, it’s one of those training concepts that’s leaning heavily on a short-sighted, superficial view.

What owners (and many trainers) miss, is that you can actually condition/train a dog to learn how to be calm, chilled, and relaxed, even without having run a marathon. We train this all the time. Duration work actually conditions the dog to turn off and relax, even when their batteries are fully charged. Along with that, simply having rules, or standards of acceptable behavior—which don’t get a pass because the dog hasn’t been exhausted yet—rules and standards which are enforced, teach a dog that good behavior is required, even when they’re brimming with energy.

Yes, a dog who’s too tired to misbehave might be considered a “good” dog while he or she is incapacitated, but as soon as the battery is recharged, the same “not good” dog will be present. And if repeated enough, the refreshed dog will gain stamina and strength, and what’s needed to make them “good” will only increase.

PS, no, this isn’t a suggestion (or excuse) to NOT exercise your dog. Exercise is a critical aspect of having a healthy, happy dog. What it is, is a reminder that good behavior shouldn’t be dependent upon your dog being exhausted—it should simply be the standard. Your dog is capable, and there will be many times in life where exhausting them won’t be possible. Teach them how to be good regardless, and then you’ll be good regardless.
