🐶 This is 15-week-old German Shepherd TPD Hugo! Hugo loves to play and is a high energy pup. He is showing signs of a good police dog in the making, with a ‘great bite’ and ‘good sense of smell’! TPD Hugo is due to start his GPD training in January 2027 💙

The rain was piling down at training on Sunday and so I took the opportunity to give the pups a controlled positive experience on negotiating stairs. In the early weeks we don’t encourage frequently using stairs because of growing joints. TPD Storm was very confident.

Abbey and TPD Storm completing the Walkway beautifully which they may have to perform at the Devon County show in May. Much easier to teach this when they are this tiny.

Fantastic 1st training day for our latest 3 recruits yesterday. Left to right TPD Storm, TPD Kobi and TPD Vader. Video’s & Pics to follow tomorrow as I was a bit busy today.

A warm welcome to TPD Vesper and TPD Oakley 💙 These German Shepherd puppies are the newest recruits to Cumbria Police Dog Section and are following in the paw-prints of their dad, PD Ben! We look forward to seeing them progress through their training 🐕
