Community Experience visits K-9 Unit


The Community Experience has been given a great opportunity to learn more about the K9 units for the Ontario County Sheriffs Office by making dog treats and getting to know each dog and their handler. We attended the Sheriff Deputies Road Patrol roll call on December 16th where we handed out our first batch of bacon flavored dog treats. The individuals had a great time shopping for the ingredients, mixing and rolling out the dough and cutting them out in the shapes of bells and hearts. We also got to meet with Sgt. Greg Schaffer, Officer Brian Lazarus and Daphne a 3 year old German Shepard from the Czech Republic. We learned about how the dogs are trained and what exactly they are used for such as finding people or illegal substances. Daphne is used for both. The K-9 Unit will be coming to our room to demonstrate different techniques and obedience commands after the New Year. We are all eager to see the Officers and dogs again.
