Paramilitary border force organises dog squad competition
Gorakhpur (Uttar Pradesh):Trained dogs today took part in an inter-frontier dog squad competition organized by the SSB (Armed Border Force). The three-day contest will end today. The dogs exhibited their
canine abilities during the competition and their performance will be assessed
on the basis of marching, searching for their handler, scent discrimination, detection
of explosives and narcotics. "The instructors present here are all qualified.
Except for one day, the dogs are put to practice the whole week. We train them
in new locations where we keep them with humans, which makes the training much
more easier," said Anil Pawar, a dog trainer. Selected on pure bred basis, dogs
like the Doberman and the German Shepherd have been brought from Patna, Lucknow
and Guwahati for the event. O P Sahu, Public Relation Officer, SSB, Paramilitary
Border Force, said trained dogs were most useful in the present scenario where
there are a lot of security related risks.
