Fabulous ♥️, they can be as smart and probably more active than labradors , german shepherd's et all. Good initiative Sir .m

Sir many who saw the video, those who have great experience with dogs said "not the right way of training" please check with few well known trainers. Regards.

This is a wonderful trendsetter. They are the most resilient and sharpest survivors. Am sure they will prove themselves.

Nice to know that the Indies are being recruited. If trained well, they can be as good as many foreign breeds.

But you need a far better trainer. One who understands the concept of balanced training and not just "only positive" training. Please avoid teaching unwanted tricks. 🙏
Thank you for this terrific initiative!! The skills of human trainers are what matter for guaranteed success, not the 'breed' or 'pedigree' of the dogs.

Sir while we appreciate an Indie being inducted into the prestigious Canine Unit of BCP, the method of training IS DEFINITELY NOT RIGHT. The puppy is being choked by the trainer. Positive reinforcement in training these canines should be way forward
