2011.06.07 TRIAL Day Twelve (Morning Session)

[Aedrys]

OMG, I am getting so teary eyed. These kinds of dogs work so hard. And it's obvious their trainer cares so much about them.

 

[Intermezzo]

That has nothing to do with the dog. He wasn't name Bones after the show, LOL. And I'm not sure the DT has Kathy Reichs anymore...

I hope Bones is enjoying his retirement. Good dog!!!!

LOL...I know that LOL

 

[marie-chantal]

Does he speak with an accent?

lol...actually I have heard that some of these dogs need to be spoken to in German. I don't know how common this is, or how long they need before they can understand English.

 

[Linda7NJ]

Does he speak with an accent?

he barks with one!

 

[twall]

Gerus' final alert-lay down

 

[Pink Panther]

This is s-l-o-w...

 

[Blue Ridge]

OMG, I am getting so teary eyed. These kinds of dogs work so hard. And it's obvious their trainer cares so much about them.

Yes.. they are trusted partners.

 

[Eidetic]

OMG, I am getting so teary eyed. These kinds of dogs work so hard. And it's obvious their trainer cares so much about them.

They put their lives on the line every day they go to work, especially the bite dogs.

 

[SurfieTX]

My neighbor used to import and train German Shepherds for the police. All of the commands are in German (or at least he trained them that way).

 

[The Eunice Burns]

Gerus means "Strength of the Spear"
Germanic origin, of course.

 

[Azcrabcakes]

Will JB try to discredit the dogs since they don't have post-grad degrees in chemistry or biology?

 

[The Eunice Burns]

Adipocere! That pesky grave wax again.

 

[sleutherontheside]

Very important to note that the final alert between Gerus and Bones was DIFFERENT!

 

[eaglemom]

400 hour initial school then certified by FDLE

then break

160 hour cadaver school - Gerus had down as final alert (not sit like Bones)

 

[Eileen730]

Ya know why would anyone spend 3 years in jail if what happend was an accident?

 

[Broderick]

Would be nice if they brought the dog in and he reacted to the evidence in the room.

 

[Mountain_Kat]

All this background is interesting, but is it really neccesary? The dogs were well trained...I think we've all got that at this point.

 

[naturaleza]

Could ICA have used the shovel to push angel Caylee into the bags?

 

[ami]

No facial response at all from ICA when he said he trained dog on drowning victim scent (or pseudoscent)

 

[strawberry]

Just a reminder, when the dog gets on the stand, we cannot talk about accents here. :innocent:

:lol:
Our Sherrifs have German dogs too..and the commands are in German.
