A Twitter post by Kylie Cunningham @kyyylieeeee that reads “today at the airport one of the drug dogs set off a false alarm and officers rushed over to find out the dog had alerted them for a piece of pizza. the handler just patted his head and goes “it’s okay buddy i know pizza always confuses you” and gave him his treat anyways.”
He is a drug AND pizza dog. His trainer probably gets an awful lot of free pizza.
Sausage is a common first step in training dogs from what ive read. Train the pup on find the chunks of sausage the handler has hidden and he gets them, then switch to treats, then swap out the sausage for drugs/ bombs.
I wonder if the dog signals whenever he smells pizza with sausage on it, remembering the first stage of the training.
