Dogs in the battlefield have struggled to be appreciated for a long time but that is still to be achieved. As a trainer building trust between you and the dog should be your priority if you want it to follow your instructions. War dogs use non-verbal communication so when training them to think like soldiers concentrate more on the action and not on your words.
It is very expensive to prepare them for the battle depending on the special training it should receive. Training can only start if they follow those small commands you give it like to stand or sit down. You must be consistent on the place you will be training this soldier. Let it be trained in a fenced area where no distractions take their attention away.
You need to take them to that place as many times as possible for it to understand that is the training area. It would make it easy for you since every time you get to that spot the dog will be obedient. It knows it is time for training and enjoys being there. Maintain a nice relationship for the dog not to feel like it is a chore but enjoys the moment instead.
When a dog is protected from danger it not only loves you but respects you too. You seem to have an upper hand over them. They feel safe with you and that is what you should look forward to achieving during training lessons. Also be patient with them since they cannot get all the commands in one teaching. Teach step by step since training cannot occur overnight.
During training one needs to separate their emotions from commands to train effectively. Dogs unlike humans will not respond they can only act. Most people do not get it and end up overworking themselves thus trainers should focus more on what they are doing not the words. They respect someone who seems powerful and in control therefore take charge during training.
They love being given attention and appreciated for good work. If the training that day was awesome treat the soldier with a nice meal or play an interesting game with it. Not all dogs will want to play therefore know what motivates it. You can learn this during training by marking the things it enjoys the most and use one of the activities to treat it.
Punishment should be carried out once in a while in case they misbehave. Most training grounds are against this arguing out that it is breaking animal rights. However little disciplining does not hurt. Do not overreact and beat the dog ruthlessly just make them understand why what they did is wrong. It could be hard without beating but worth trying.
They must eat well and exercise a lot during the training period. It helps their brains to function effectively and grasp all the lessons. These dogs experience trauma during deployment therefore train them how to relate with new people. They are our next heroes and future law enforcers, they should be treated with dignity.
