[0002] At present, in addition to the civilian racing dogs and working dogs organized by other organizations (such as fire rescue dogs and quarantine dogs), there are 24,000 police dogs in the country, which are roughly used in the following three application areas: scent tracking and identification, various search types, and public security patrols. Among them, the first two categories are based on dog olfactory operations, and various search types of police dogs account for more than 40%, covering multiple police types such as criminal investigation, drug control, public security, anti-terrorism, and border defense.

[0003] The search ability of police dogs is one of the determining factors for the effectiveness of their use. In the process of cultivating search ability, several aspects, such as directional search awareness, head-down awareness, obedience awareness, odor connection and differentiation, and effective reinforcement, are key links and are the connecting parts of the entire training chain. How to efficiently and orderly integrate the above links is of utmost importance, and it is also a problem that is not easy to control during training. Over the years, experienced trainers or instructors have been able to develop targeted training processes based on their personal professional qualities and the individual differences of different trained dogs, but this training model cannot be promoted and applied on a large scale. Using specially developed training equipment to improve training efficiency will be a reasonable choice in the future. Based on this, it is particularly necessary to design a functional composite reinforced guide rod for working dogs' olfactory recognition operations. Summary of the invention

[0017] In order to make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects achieved by the present invention easy to understand, the present invention is further described below in conjunction with specific implementation methods.

[0018] Reference Figure 1-6 , this specific embodiment adopts the following technical scheme: a functional composite reinforced guide rod for working dogs to smell and identify, comprising a rod body 1, a control handle 2, a dog food storage box 3, a telescopic thin rod 4 and a lamp bead 5, the upper end of the rod body 1 is installed with the control handle 2, the rod body 1 is installed with the dog food storage box 3, the rod body 1 is composed of a cavity portion 1-1 and an inner side wall 1-2 of the guide rod, a metal spring 6 is installed in the cavity portion 1-1, a lamp bead wire 7 and a trigger mechanism for triggering the metal spring 6 are arranged in the inner side wall 1-2 of the guide rod, and the trigger mechanism is connected to the control handle 2; a dog food outlet 8 is arranged at the lower part of the rod body 1, a telescopic thin rod 4 and a lamp bead 5 are installed at the end of the rod body 1, and the lamp bead 5 is connected to the lamp bead wire 7; a clicker button, a spring switch 9 and a lamp bead switch 10 are arranged on the control handle 2, the clicker button and the spring switch 9 are linked with the trigger mechanism in the inner side wall 1-2 of the guide rod, and the lamp bead switch 10 is connected to the lamp bead wire 7.

[0019] It is worth noting that the rod body 1 is 1.2m in length and 2.5cm in diameter. The rod body 1 is made of ABS guide rod, which is lightweight, easy to clean, non-toxic, odor-free, and resistant to bending.

[0020] In addition, the control handle 2, the dog food storage box 3, the telescopic thin rod 4 and the light bead 5 can all be detachably installed on the rod body 1, and can be disassembled separately for cleaning, repair and replacement.

[0021] This specific implementation method is based on the basic principle of working dog training stimulation-behavior (dog)-reinforcement, combining the core training links of working dogs such as olfactory recognition action, action identification, and reinforcement, laying the foundation for working odor operations. Among them, "stimulation" refers to the end of the guide rod itself or the target it points to, and the light emitted by the laser lamp beads; "behavior" refers to the olfactory action triggered by the working dog's pointing and exploration reflex; "reinforcement" refers to the stimulation of the clicker sound and the reward food (dog food) released at the end of the guide rod within 0.5 to 1 second.

[0022] In this specific embodiment, the interior of the rod body 1 of the guide rod is divided into two parts: a cavity 1-1 and an inner wall 1-2 of the guide rod. The cavity 1-1 has a control handle 2 that can control the opening and closing of a metal shrapnel 6. The metal shrapnel 6 uses elasticity to clamp the large grains of dog food 11. When the working dog smells and searches according to the position indicated by the guide rod, the metal shrapnel 6 opens, and several large grains of dog food 11 slide down under the action of gravity and fall down along the rod body to the dog food outlet 8. The working dog will get food rewards at the place where it smells, thereby achieving the purpose and effect of rewarding the working dog. The reward of dog food is used in conjunction with a dog food storage box 3. The function of the dog food storage box 3 is similar to a magazine, which plays the role of temporary storage and replenishment of rewards. The size of its storage capacity is adjusted according to the content and intensity of the training subject. The inner wall 1-2 of the guide rod contains a lamp bead wire 7 and a trigger mechanism of the metal shrapnel 6. The trigger mechanism is controlled by a clicker button and a shrapnel switch 9.

[0023] A telescopic thin rod 4 and a lamp bead 5 extend from the inner side wall 1-2 of the guide rod. The lamp bead 5 is powered by a lamp bead wire 7 connected to a lamp bead switch 10. The lamp bead 5 is used to remotely guide the working dog to perform search operations in a dark environment or at night, for example, in a narrow space such as an airplane seat, a logistics warehouse, etc., where it is difficult for the trainer to enter to carry out a search operation with a dog, or to remotely command the bomb search dog to carry out a search operation with a higher risk of bomb disposal, etc., and the training and use can be carried out with the guidance of the laser emitted by the lamp bead 5. The telescopic thin rod 4 has a similar function to the lamp bead 5, and can be reasonably selected and used according to the distance and light conditions of the trained dog in different training and use environments. The two complement each other. Under strong light conditions, the dog cannot see the point projected by the lamp bead 5. With the help of the telescopic thin rod 4, the working dog can be accurately guided to carry out the operation.

[0024] The control handle 2 is the main control area of ​​the guide rod. It is used to mark and apply the first-level reinforcement area and the second-level reinforcement area. According to the target behavior made or appeared by the trained dog in actual operation, the clicker button can be pressed to mark the behavior with sound stimulation and apply the first-level reinforcement, such as dog food and other food; the clicker button and the spring switch 9 are located at the upper part of the control handle 2, corresponding to the position where the trainer presses the clicker with the thumb. When the working dog makes the correct sniffing action, the trainer presses the clicker button and the spring switch 9 in time to stimulate the clicker to emit a unique ticking sound, which is used to mark the instantaneous action of the dog; the lamp switch 10 is located at the lower part of the control handle 2, corresponding to the position where the index finger presses the switch. The trainer uses the index finger to turn on or off the laser at the end of the guide rod through the lamp switch 10. The handle uses the time difference of less than 1s between the first-level reinforcement and the second-level reinforcement to cultivate the dog's conditioned reflex. Selecting different times, such as continuous 2 or 3 sound stimulations, can cultivate the trained dog's conditioned reflex to the end of training, release the pressure of the trained dog, and achieve the purpose of fully strengthening the trained dog.

[0025] This specific implementation method is used to train police dogs to form basic search capabilities in multiple search professional fields. It has the functions of composite reinforcement including primary reinforcement and secondary reinforcement, guidance instructions, precise calibration, and prompting the end of the training for the trained dogs, so as to achieve the effect of fast, accurate, orderly, and efficient search training and use. Its advantages are:

[0026] ①The device can be disassembled, assembled, repaired, and cleaned easily. It has the characteristics of light texture, little odor, easy cleaning, and no water seepage;

[0027] ② Integrate the reinforcement, identification, and instruction links that are prone to conflict in training, which is suitable for novice trainers in the early stages of training and those with insufficient experience, and is less likely to make mistakes and be in a hurry;

[0028] ③ It is helpful for the trained dogs to quickly establish basic connections during training, and closely link the process of "signal-behavior-signal reinforcement-reinforcement"; in the process of training search forms, it is helpful to cultivate the trained dogs' good search habits of orderly search;

[0029] ④ It helps trained dogs to quickly identify, smell and search locations and areas, achieving the training advantages of combining humans and dogs, and has broad market application prospects.

[0030] The above shows and describes the basic principle and main features of the utility model and the advantages of the utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that the utility model is not limited by the above embodiments. The above embodiments and descriptions are only for explaining the principle of the utility model. Without departing from the spirit and scope of the utility model, the utility model may have various changes and improvements, which fall within the scope of the utility model to be protected.
