Dog Handlers Visit

Today on the 26th of September Glenbrae school got the opportunity to visit Kase. Kase is a German Shepherd Dog that works with the Nz Police Department and its Dog Handlers name is Collin.

Collin talked about what the role of the dog is, which is to track people down and help them out. He then showed us a few tricks that case can do. He was a very interesting and a talented dog

Kase is a male that weighs 39kg. He was trained when he was only 10 weeks old. Ever since then he has been going to a place called Dog School, which is like school but just with a lot of dogs in it.

Towards the end of their visit Grant took out these protective sleeves and put on his arm. Collin let Kase free and he chased Grant until he caught him. He jumped and bit his arm. Luckily it was a protective sleeve and he didn’t get hurt. We then were given the chance to go up one by one to give kase a pat. When it was my turn I went up and saw a lot and a lot of his fur. I patted him and then when and sat back down

I learnt a lot about police dogs and what Collin said. Kase was beautiful and I didn’t want him to leave, but he had to leave. Other than that I had such a wonderful and great day.
