Wait I remember the story of the woman with a dog who failed the program. He would do all the stuff he was suppose to like open doors turn off lights but he did it when he felt like it. So she had to baby proof the house because of the dog. So if you are up to having to lock your fridge, toliet, doors, and light switches as if you had a tall baby than go ahead.
eh... if my dog wants the lights on, I don't care unless I'm in the same room. If I'm adopting a dog, I'm also opening my home too him; it's his home as well =p.
Many times these retired dogs end up having side effects from their work. The chemicals and drugs they are meant to search for effect their mind when they get older. I had a retired bomb/drug police dog and they told us she would begin to "lose" her mind. Eventually she did, it almost seemed like dementia, but she was one of the best, most well-behaved dogs we've ever had. Dont let the side affects deter you these dogs are well trained and deserve a loving family for all their hard work they do protecting us.
