Question by Legacy Rottweilers: Question for working dog trainers: Do you train everyday rain or shine? If it’s raining or snowing outside do you still expect for a dog to get out there and work?
Best answer:
Answer by Aduial Unless people can’t get on the roads I train every week day and I do some in home consults on the weekends. My own dogs I work with everyday.

I try to get training in as much as possible and whenever possible, especially with my dog, she’s an APBT but I don’t do it every second of they day every moment, I have other things to do.
I expect my dog to work when hell freezes over and I put his butt on ice skates. Yes, I DEMAND that they work under any conditions, whenever the situation demands it. As far as training, I train every day for an hour or so at work because I am bored while waiting for a search and I want to give the dog something to do, be it OB, detection work or even bite work when I feel like putting on a sleeve!! Realistically, a working dog should be trained at LEAST once a week and preferably 3 times.
I am not a trainer, but I do volunteer with our K9 section. Yes, they train in and are expected to work in all types of weather. One of the newer handlers going through his handling course had three weeks of rain. A lot of the training is outside. Another handler’s first track was 5km(a little less than 3 miles) on the coldest night of the winter, that included wading through water up to his waist.
I love when the other guys say they want to be K9 because all you have to do is run behind a dog…

I damn well expect my dogs to work in the snow! Blizzard, wind, open water, don’t care. I’ve run them in the rain, but frankly it sucks.

Yep. I mind it more than they do.
