The Police Dogs School, African Centre for Veterinary Consulting (ACVC), Sudan *Corresponding author: Ammar ME Ibrahim, The Police Dogs School, African Centre for Veterinary Consulting (ACVC), Khartoum, Sudan Submission: March 23, 2018; Published: April 09, 2018. Many researches in the field of dogs training indicated that behavioural differences between dog’s breeds are less than behavioral differences within the breed [3,4]. The aim of the training program was to enable the puppies adapt and develop social skills in a disciplined and intensive management and to train puppies to search and detect a local drug (Cannabis) which is very common in Sudan. Puppy’s performance was scored according to the assessment protocol of the school of police dogs in Sudan with slight modification according to pre-training processes and guidelines of South African police, puppies which fail to pass one phase successfully were not allowed to move to the phase. The generation puppies were successfully passed the first and second training phases and four of them successfully passed the final training phase
