They’re tough. They’re a danger to all the criminals. They’re protecting and serving us.
They’re police dogs, and every pooch in the neighborhood wants to be one!
Well, only selected specimens can become active K9 officers.
Sure, almost every breed can be trained into becoming a police dog, but we all know a breed that’s stellar in the force.
Yes, our German Shepherd buddies always make excellent police pooches, probably the best in the world.
Training starts while they’re still smol puppers. It takes time and effort to become a brave police dog, and these 22 pups are still learning, but doing great!
1. He Will Grow Into It

The vest may be too big now, but check back in a couple of months.
2. They Have A Role Model

Apparently, good police work runs in the family.
3. Ready For A Ride Along

I call shotgun!
4. He Will Kill Them With Kindness

Okay, maybe not with kindness, but his pawdorable looks will stop all law breakers.
5. Ready To Go?

Thieves wait for no one!
6. When Do I Start?

This is one super-excited GSD puppy. He can’t wait to start chasing criminals.
7. They Already Know What To Do

Seems like these K-9 pups don’t really need training.
8. It’s Scary Out There

Are you really sure that I’m your next K-9 pawtner?
9. That Training Was Exhausting
![a-dog-on-a-mans-shoulder a dog on a man's shoulder](https://csfe.info/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/a-dog-on-a-mans-shoulder.jpg)
Hold me, officer. I have no more energy in my paws.
10. My Vest Finally Fits Me

Being great K-9 pawfficers runs in the family.
12. We Don’t Get A Single Day Off
![puppy-with-a-police-belt puppy with a police belt](https://csfe.info/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/puppy-with-a-police-belt.jpg)
Tell the Chief we won’t work on Fridays.
13. The Official K-9 Equipment Testing Dog
![puppy-next-to-police-equipment puppy next to police equipment](https://csfe.info/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/puppy-next-to-police-equipment.jpg)
Just making sure it’s safe to use.
14. They Said I Should Join The Police
![the-puppy-jumps-over-the-obstacle the puppy jumps over the obstacle](https://csfe.info/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/the-puppy-jumps-over-the-obstacle.jpg)
… but no one told me how hard the training would be!
15. What Was That Noise?

Hello? Don’t leave me alone… I’m still a pup in training… Hello?
16. Grrr… I’m tough!
![the-dog-stands-on-the-pavement-and-growls the dog stands on the pavement and growls](https://csfe.info/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/the-dog-stands-on-the-pavement-and-growls.jpg)
They said he should act tough, but this is all he can do.
17. Police Pups In Training Walk Themselves
![the-puppy-walks-in-the-garden the puppy walks in the garden](https://csfe.info/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/the-puppy-walks-in-the-garden.jpg)
That’s how tough they are.
18. Something Smells Fishy
![puppy-in-the-garden-with-downcast-eyes puppy in the garden with downcast eyes](https://csfe.info/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/puppy-in-the-garden-with-downcast-eyes.jpg)
… and my instincts tell me it’s not my morning breath.
19. Am I A Police Dog Now?
![puppy-with-a-cap-on-his-head puppy with a cap on his head](https://csfe.info/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/puppy-with-a-cap-on-his-head.jpg)
Is my training finally over?

Yep, seems like you’ve got everything ready for our night pawtrol.
21. They Didn’t Tell Us…
![the-dog-jumps-over-the-wall the dog jumps over the wall](https://csfe.info/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/the-dog-jumps-over-the-wall.jpg)
… that we learn to fly in K-9 school.
22. No One Will Tell Me…
![cute-police-puppy cute police puppy](https://csfe.info/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/cute-police-puppy.jpg)
… that I’m too small to join the police!
