It was our first training in Rochester. We went to the downtown mall (The Galleria) on a weekend because it is very quiet. The local police department helped us out. An officer showed up and let the dogs sniff and touch everything - handcuffs, billy stick, taser, etc.
The idea behind this training is to see how the dogs react to the new sounds and smells. If they have any issues then it's a training issue we've uncovered and we work to desensitize them.
Absolutely none of our dogs had any problems at all. Bear was completely unfazed. He sniffed the officer and all of his stuff and then looked up at me like, "So?". Perfect!
