@DC_PoliceDogs Amazing Paul. You were the face of police dogs when I was serving as an officer and I hope you’ve still got a few years in you! 🤞

Ann. I bred and puppy walked PD Goose, I bred PD Gus, I puppy walked PD Albert, I did a re-handling course with PD Sid & his handler Luke. I was also the puppy trainer for all of the 4 dogs. But Most importantly PD Gus was puppy walked by Rich & Leah, PD Sid by Tanya.

@DC_PoliceDogs So how many of the finalists did you have a hand in, Paul? Either through breeding, puppy walking or training?
English
PD Albert and John just completed their Part 3 at the National Police dog trials and a more proud puppy walker you couldn’t find. Have to admit I couldn’t control my emotions at the end of their display in the company of his breeder Ceara and Lady B😢👏
English
@DC_PoliceDogs Well done Storm! I don’t like them much either 😔
English
Some of the pups really don’t like going up and down the glass stairs in the Apple shop. TPD ‘s Storm & Vader were not comfortable. Pulling them up & down regardless is never a wise thing to do. So some work using high value titbits did the trick. Here is Mike & Storm.
English
@DC_PoliceDogs He’s doing so well thanks to the opportunities you’re giving him. He seems like a very bright dog
English
TPD Zee enjoyed his training session and so the next part of his training was getting him used to groups of people. We know that the RSPCA seized him on welfare grounds and that he had a very unpleasant start in life but that’s all we know.
English
@DC_PoliceDogs He’s coming on so well. Hope he makes it as a PD 🤞
English
I’ve had a thoroughly good week with TPD Zee ( hedgehog) and he is now showing a working side that we hadn’t seen before. There’s no doubting his determined, persistent nature as demonstrated here on a search today.
English
I’ve got TPD Zee for most of this week just working on building his confidence on day to day situations and to give puppy walker Kim a break. Clearly he has had very little environmental experiences & so I’ve taken him into Exeter a couple of times. Today he was superb.
English
@meakinjim Thanks Jim. Yes I’m fine thanks, hope you are too 😊🐣
English
@EmmaBradsSmith Good morning Emma. Thank you. Have a wonderful Easter Sunday. Hope you are well.😊🌞🌅🤗 🐣
English

@DC_PoliceDogs Proud mum and dad moment! 😍. Richly deserved after all your hard work to get Odi fit after his awful injury 👌
English
It’s always a proud day for all the puppy walkers but was a particularly emotional day for Di and me having nursed him through his broken leg and then seeing him go on to become a licensed Police dog. He also has the perfect handler in Kenton
English
After completing the Stand off exercise PD Django gave a very good example of why it’s never a good idea to run away from him.
English
@DC_PoliceDogs Great to see PD Odi make it through after his leg injury 👌. Good luck to all of you
English
Well done all and what a tremendous standard you all have achieved
Devon Police Dogs@DevonPoliceDogs
Today four teams successfully became licensed Police Dogs! PC Allen & PD Django will be based in Cornwall PC Brock & PD Odi (top right) & PC Barrow-Heath & PD Buddy (bottom left) will be based in North Devon PC Darbey & PD Rip (bottom right) in Exeter Well done all 🐾👏🏼
English
@DC_PoliceDogs You couldn’t have done anymore Paul. Literally you tried everything humanly possible. ☺️
English
Janet. Ceara tells me that he is doing really well. I still find it hard to talk about Clive because I loved his personality so much & I tried so hard to help him through his floor & biting issues.
Janet@jcjumble
@DC_PoliceDogs Hi Paul. How is Clive doing?
English
@DC_PoliceDogs Well done them. Can’t believe they have to run the dogs wearing their tunics!! (A) hot and (B) totally restrictive and impractical. Though they do look smart 👌
English
A special mention to PD Goose and Kimmo competing in their first Regional PD trial scoring a very impressive 782 finishing 4th. There’s no doubt they will be invited to the National Police dog trials with a score like that. They were a breath of fresh air to watch.👏
English
@DC_PoliceDogs Surely 2 rows may come in useful when stopping a suspect?! 😜
English
TPD Ronnie weighs 22kg and doing well. However his baby incisors have not come out & he now also has his adult incisors. So he now has 2 rows of Incisors instead of one and they will be removed by a specialist dentist on Monday.
English
@DC_PoliceDogs Hilarious!!! Don’t show Ronnie and Reggie 😳😂
English
Blimey and there’s me thinking GSD’s were the king of the cry babies.
English
@barryjohnfrost @AppleSupport Exactly, I was worried as to how she’d cope with you without a phone. 😫
English
@EmmaBradsSmith @AppleSupport The International Help line are just as bad Ems … I’ll just have to keep my fingers crossed and have had to arrange extra support for mum now as she can’t get hold of me 😖
English
@AppleSupport 5 month old IPhone pro ,screen goes … store confirms manufacturer fault so will repair … then no parts , maybe a week so I request a replacement…advised to buy a new one & return it once the other repaired for a refund … this is nuts 😖
English
@DC_PoliceDogs Fab thanks Paul. Good luck to him and Kenton 👍
English
TPD Odi starts his Initial course today with his new handler Kenton.
Emma Bradshaw-Smith@EmmaBradsSmith
@DC_PoliceDogs Where is TPD Odi ?
English
Yesterday was our first training day in 2026. It was in Plymouth and was a cold one. Our five September 2026 teams were all exceptional. L to R Leianne with TPD Kensa, Colin & Mitzi with TPD Inca, Dave with TPD Milo, Ben with TPD Frank and Shane with TPD Axel.
