China News Service, Kunming, May 19, title: Anti-narcotics vanguard turned into a police dog trainer: I want to take it to guard the country

  Author Zhang Jinjia

  Following the order from the trainer Zhang Long, the police dog "Flying Tiger" attacked like thunder and lightning, and carried out a bite action on the moving target.

I saw a dark shadow passing by, the "Flying Tiger" locked its waist with its claws, and its teeth sealed its arms... This was a scene performed at the Kunming Police Dog Training Base of the Yunnan Entry-Exit Border Inspection General Station.

  Walking into the base, what you see is a neat row of kennels and a wide training ground for police dogs, with endless barks.

At this time, Zhang Long was training with his police dog "Flying Tiger".

This Malinois is one year old, and the trainer is also a police dog training "recruit".

Although it has only been two months of training together, Zhang Long and the "Flying Tiger" partner are very close and have outstanding catching ability.

  It is understood that the Malinois is one of the four breeds of Belgian Shepherd Dogs, referred to as "horse dogs".

It has a good working nature and a strong desire to work, quick response, docile, loyal, confident and responsible. It mainly plays a role in search and rescue, security, tracking, drug search, explosive search and other tasks.

  At present, the Kunming Police Dog Training Base is mainly composed of Kunming dogs, Labrador dogs, Malinois and other breeds, which are divided into several types such as drug detection dogs, EOD dogs, tracking dogs, and patrol dogs.

The picture shows Zhang Long and "Flying Tiger" in training.

  Zhang Long is an inspector at the Lancang Border Checkpoint of the Yunnan Pu'er Border Management Detachment. He has been fighting on the front line of drug control for a long time.

Since July 2015, his individual has seized more than 120 drug cases, confiscated more than 300 kilograms of drugs, arrested more than 60 suspects, arrested more than 10 people at large on the Internet, and cracked down on more than 20 cases of "Three Nons". There were more than 50 cases of similar smuggling with a value of over 10 million yuan.

  Zhang Long is a veritable anti-drug model, but now he is a police dog training "recruit".

In March of this year, he took the initiative to apply for the first batch of police dog trainer training in 2021.

Whenever asked why he wanted to train a police dog, Zhang Long's face would show upset.

  In August 2018, Zhang Long and his comrades in arms carried out a public investigation somewhere on National Highway 227. When the personnel on duty checked the trunk of the vehicle, the two suspects abandoned the car and fled while it was dark.

One of the suspects jumped into the river on the side of the investigation scene and eventually fled to the forest on the opposite side of the river.

  Due to the darkness, the personnel on duty were unable to judge the depth of the ditch. For safety reasons, the personnel on duty pursued them from the small bridge nearby.

But the suspect was nowhere to be seen, and Zhang Long could only watch the drug dealer escape.

  "It would be great if there was a police dog." Afterwards, Zhang Long became very interested in police dog technology.

He believes that if police dogs were equipped at the time, the drug dealers would not escape easily.

As a "guard of the country", Zhang Long felt it necessary to learn and grow into an excellent police dog trainer in order to solve one more case in his future work and bring more peace to the border area.

  When he first came into contact with "Flying Tiger", Zhang Long was not "waiting to see".

Because the dog training passwords are all in Mandarin, it makes it difficult for him to communicate with "Flying Tiger" who is not standard in Mandarin.

"Language pass" is sad, "Psychology pass" is even more sad.

At first, because they were not familiar with each other, the "Flying Tiger" barked and bitten when they saw Zhang Long. The fear made Zhang Long want to retreat.

"I thought that as long as you give it something delicious, you can make it obedient, but'Flying Tiger' doesn't'buy it', and has always ignored me." Zhang Long said.

  After a period of running-in, Zhang Long figured out his own dog training method: To truly walk into the heart of "Flying Tiger", he must think from another position, know what he wants and what he likes, and not only master the essentials of dog training, but also You have to play with it, and you can't expect a bit of delicious food to tame it.

After more than two months of getting along with each other, he gradually established a deep relationship with "Flying Tiger".

  "A dog is a loyal friend of mankind. It has strong sense of smell and hearing, and is extremely obedient and tenacious. The incomparable loyalty to the owner and the keen sense of smell and hearing make them play an important role in different occasions. They are responsible for important tasks such as patrolling, searching for drugs, and searching for explosives. They can do their jobs better with the assistance of police dogs." Zhang Long said.

  In the early morning, when the first rays of sunlight hit the ground, a familiar voice sounded on the training ground again: "'Flying Tiger', sit and lie down;'Flying Tiger', sniff, search... it's good!" Zhang Longhe His comrade-in-arms "Flying Tiger" once again devoted himself to intense training.

The story of this good partner continues.
