Police Officer and Canine Encounters: BSDR

The Bark...Stop, Drop and Roll training was created and designed by Emily Weiss, PhD, animal behaviorist, and Kerri Burns, American Humane training manager and former police officer.

A dog is running toward you. What are its intentions? What is your response? Could you be in danger?

The course offers skills to:

help safely assess situations involving dogs
better understand that not all dogs are aggressive
learn how to diffuse a potentially hazardous situation with a dog that is showing signs of aggression
understand that deadly force is a last-resort, called-for only when an animal poses a direct threat to human or other animal life

Training components include:

general canine behavior and communication systems
types and levels of aggression
awareness levels
communicating with canines
officer response/behavior
