On July 8th, 2019, we, the students of grade 10, went to Dog Training Center of Nepal Police Canine Division. The visit was organized in collaboration with the Community Police Partnership Department of Nepal Police. We were taken there in the first period at around 9:30 am. We all were ready with our notebooks and pens. We reached there and D.S.P. Ram Chandra Satyal introduced the different kinds of dog training. We learned about the role of dogs in solving the crime as well as in saving lives in any disaster. We learned about 4 types of rescue dogs. They were the dogs who could find out thief or murder, narcotics, arm dogs, and rescue dogs. We also saw a demonstration of dogs about how a dog can save our life. There were the dogs named Jojo, Missi, Manon, Dj, etc. There were 2 imported dogs who were brought from Siberia. One cost Rs 79,00,000 and another cost about Rs 4,00,000.
After the information, we returned the school to attend the 3rd period.
This field visit was quite interesting for me to know about dogs as I am a dog lover. I do love every type of dog. My favorite one is German Shepherd and Dalmatian as I have one.
Talking about the field visit, we went to the Dog Training Center and then sat around the stairs to watch the performance of the dogs. We were hosted by Dr. Ramchandra Shakya who gave us the ideas. The dogs performed different activities like search the material using a person’s scent, then another demonstration of dog to find the explosives and suspect. It also performed about how to cross the obstacles coming in their way. Finally, after the dogs' performances we asked the queries that were in our mind to the DCP.
At last, we clicked a group photo and then visited all those different stores where the dogs were kept and also made the rounds in the horse stables and then returned to school.
We, the students of Grade X, were taken to Nepal Police Canine division, which is located at Maharajgunj. We were taken by the school bus to the location.

We noted down all the important details he gave.
The term 'canine’ refers to the dogs. The Nepal Police Canine division was established in 2032 BS. Out of 300 dog breeds in the world, 20 are used for police agencies. There are 8 different dog breeds there. We were informed that the dogs were used for crime investigations, they are also employed to find out narcotics and other drugs, they are applicable in a murder cases and to rescue people. The dogs usually work due to their very strong smelling power. We were also shown some demonstrations about how the dogs perform. We saw German Shepherd, Malinois dogs, Bloodhound, Dutch Shepherd, Labrador. These dogs are advantageous in police agencies. These dogs are also used before VVIP moment to ensure that the place is secured and we came to know that the dogs were bought from other countries paying 4 lakhs to 7 lakhs. The dogs had more capacity and efficiency than humans.
Lastly, I'd like to thank the school department for planning a wonderful visit. We acquired a lot of knowledge about the dogs and their breeds, we came to know more about how efficient dogs are. Hence, this trip was very informative.

After giving us the information verbally, the dogs demonstrated how they work. Before their demonstration, the dogs had to put the harness which is known as the uniform of the dogs.
After looking at all the demonstrations by the dogs, we all took a group photo and went to see the dogs which were kept in different houses separating their different fields. Among them, some of them were fully trained, some were not and some of them were bought only a few months back from foreign countries. There were also many horses kept in the stable.
After going around, we returned to school.
