Reborn Military Dog Trainer

Ji Xia's legs pinched the horse's belly, and hurried to the source of the sound, Ding Chengsong and Zhang Xian had no choice but to follow quickly.After climbing two hillsides, at the bottom of the slope, a golden Tibetan mastiff was fighting with five or six wolves, and beside it was a sheep lying motionless on the ground.

Although the saying that one mastiff can defeat ten wolves has been widely spread in recent years, Ji Xia believes that this is definitely an exaggeration. The Tibetan mastiff is very fierce, but it is still a tamed dog. It may not be a problem to deal with one or two wolves, but it can deal with five or six. It is difficult for a wolf to gain an advantage.So he didn't think much, shouted loudly and galloped his horse towards the pack of wolves.

When the wolves saw people coming, they no longer wanted to fight. The leader wolf greeted and quickly evacuated with his injured companions.The Tibetan mastiff did not chase after it, but stood in place and barked at the departing wolves, then turned around and arched the motionless sheep on the ground with its mouth.

When Ji Xia got off the horse, the Tibetan mastiff woke up, turned its head and bared its teeth at Ji Xia, and let out a low, threatening growl from its throat.The Tibetan mastiff is an animal that recognizes its master. It is only loyal to one master in its life, and the rest are equivalent to enemies to him, so even though Ji Xia helped it drive away the wolves, it didn't appreciate it very much.

Ji Xia was well versed in the habits of Tibetan mastiffs, so he stood still, expressing that he was not hostile.Then the Tibetan Mastiff turned to look at the sheep again.It was only then that Ji Xia realized that the sheep was not dead, it was still making low noises, but its neck was torn open, and blood was gurgling, and blood was also dripping from its body.It looked like he was seriously injured.

At this moment, both Ding Chengsong and Zhang Xian rushed over, they got off their horses, and the Tibetan mastiff let out a low growl again, making a gesture to attack someone.Ji Xia waved at the two of them: "Stand back a bit, the Tibetan mastiff will think it's a threat if you get too close."

Ding Chengsong looked at it for a while: "No, this sheep is about to give birth."

It was only then that Ji Xia discovered that the blood under the sheep's body was due to this reason. It was trying to stand up, so as to make room for the lamb to come out, but it had no strength, and it fell down after two attempts.It turns out that the wolves in this season are actually not short of rations, and generally do not attack herdsmen, but today a pregnant ewe happened to leave the herd, and a small pack of wolves found it and came to attack it, but was taken care of The Tibetan mastiff was discovered, and only then did the scene just now happen.

Ji Xia thought for a while, then took two strides forward, the Tibetan Mastiff turned his head and stared at him viciously, Ji Xia didn't look at it, went straight to the ewe, knelt down to help the ewe spread its legs, and began to help it stop bleeding.The Tibetan mastiff bared its teeth at him, but did not rush forward.

Ding Chengsong saw that the Tibetan mastiff didn't bite, so he hurried over to help the ewe lift up.Zhang Xian fumbled around his body at a loss, trying to find something to help. When he looked up, he saw a horse running towards them: "Someone is coming."

The rider was a middle-aged man, and he yelled loudly as he ran. The Tibetan mastiff heard the voice of its master and stood up and yelled loudly a few times.After a while, the man on horseback had already arrived in front of them. As soon as he saw the ewe on the ground, he jumped down and quickly picked it up and put it on his lap, not afraid of the blood staining his robe.

Ding Chengsong let go of his hand and said, "Awang, the sheep was bitten by a wolf, can it be saved?"

The Tibetan man named Ngawang raised his head, and there was a little surprise in his anxious eyes: "So it was comrades of the People's Liberation Army. You drove away the wolves, thank you. I'll take a look first. It's about to give birth. Let's save the sheep first." Let’s talk about it later.” He is relatively fluent in Chinese.

It turned out that this Awang was the herdsman that Ding Chengsong was looking for.Ji Xia pressed the ewe's wound with his hands, and Awang asked Zhang Xian to help pick some herbs, rub the grass juice out, and drip it on the ewe's wound, and the blood gradually stopped.

The lamb has poked its head out of the ewe's body, and Awang helped it get out of the mother's body, then cut off the umbilical cord, tied a knot, and sent it to the ewe's mouth.The ewes wanted to eat the afterbirth by themselves, but they couldn't do what they wanted.Awang had no choice but to come by himself, remove the afterbirth, and put the lamb in his pocket.He bent down again to hug the ewe.

Ding Chengsong said, "Awang, let's hold the ewe for you."

Awang said: "Hold the lamb for me." The ewe had too much blood, and he was afraid of staining Ding Chengsong's clothes.Although the lamb has wet amniotic fluid, it is much cleaner than the ewe.

Ding Chengsong emptied out a military schoolbag he was carrying: "Put it in your pocket." Ji Xia helped him carefully put the lamb in, and then carefully hugged it in his arms.

Ngawang is really a man. Holding the ewe in one hand and the saddle in the other, he rolled over and went up: "Comrade Liberation Army, I will take a step first, and you will follow. Bowa, come back!" The last sentence was spoken in Tibetan, After speaking, he galloped away, and the Tibetan mastiff ran a few steps, and then slowed down again.

It was only then that Ji Xia discovered that there were wounds on the buttocks and hind legs of the Tibetan Mastiff, which must have been bitten by a wolf just now.He guessed that the Tibetan mastiff's name was Bowa, so he walked forward: "Bowa?"

Bowa the Tibetan mastiff stopped, looked at Ji Xia, then turned his head and licked his hind legs.Ji Xia said: "Squad leader, this Tibetan mastiff is injured, you go there first, and I will follow with it."

Ding Chengsong nodded: "Okay, hurry up." He also got on his horse and chased Ngawang.This place is not far from Ngawang's house, and there are Tibetan mastiffs leading the way, so I'm not afraid they won't find the place.

Zhang Xian also took the initiative to stay and walk with Ji Xia. Ji Xia wanted to get close to the Tibetan mastiff, but he was vigilant and kept people away, and just walked back slowly.Ji Xia had no choice but to lead the horse and follow behind.

Zhang Xian said: "I heard that the Tibetan mastiff is very fierce, but I didn't expect it to be true. One mastiff dared to fight six wolves!"

"The mastiffs in the pastoral area are very powerful. With them, the herdsmen will not be afraid of wolves." Ji Xia admired Bowa from the bottom of his heart.

Bova was injured, and walked very slowly. After walking a few steps, he stopped to lick the wound, probably because of the unbearable pain.Ji Xia thought for a while, bent down and pulled some grass from the ground, the kind that Awang asked Zhang Xian to pull just now: "Bowa!"

Bowa stopped, glanced back at Ji Xia, and continued walking.Ji Xia handed the reins of the horse to Zhang Xian: "Help me hold it, and I'll stop the bleeding."

Zhang Xian knew that Bowa was very fierce: "Then be careful."

"I know." Ji Xia hurried to catch up with Bowa, but Bowa didn't let him get close, and Ji Xia didn't care too much, and with a quick dodge, he clasped Bowa in his arms, pressed his elbows on Bowa's neck, Don't let it bite people, then squeeze out the herbal juice in your hand and apply it on Bowa's wound.Bowa protested angrily and writhed uncontrollably. Ji Xia gritted his teeth and tried to restrain it. The 100-pound dog was really hard to control, and his strength was amazing. After a while, sweat broke out on his forehead.

"Bowa, don't move around, apply medicine to you." Ji Xia softly comforted Bowa in his arms, "Zhang Xian, help me pull out some weeds."

Zhang Xian quickly found some herbs, and Ji Xia insisted on gritting his teeth, until he smeared Bowa's wound with medicinal juice, and then let go.As soon as he let go, Bowa turned around and bit at Ji Xia. Thanks to Ji Xia's dexterity, he jumped quickly and avoided it. Bowa wanted to rush over and continue to bite, but the wound on his body hurt a little, so he gave up. Even so, he barked loudly for a while before giving up.

"Oh my god, why is this mastiff so fierce? It doesn't matter whether it's good or bad." Zhang Xian hid far away.

Ji Xia smiled indifferently: "This is the characteristic of the Tibetan mastiff. It only recognizes one master in its life, and everyone else is the enemy." This is also the main reason why the military dogs in the army do not have the Tibetan mastiff breed, because the soldiers in the army flow very frequently. Tibetan mastiffs cannot change owners, which means they can no longer serve in the military, so no one trains Tibetan mastiffs as military dogs.He personally likes the Tibetan mastiff very much, if possible, it would be nice to raise one.

Zhang Xian was a little strange: "How do you know so much?"

Ji Xia said: "I have liked dogs since I was a child, and I like all breeds, so I know a lot about them."

"No wonder."

Awang has bid farewell to the nomadic way of traditional nomads, and has settled down here. The house is a double-storey wooden house made of logs from the mountain, which looks very strong.The animals live downstairs, and the people live upstairs.

Awang had already settled the ewes and lambs, and was waiting for Ji Xia and Zhang Xian at the door, when he saw Bowa limping towards him, he rushed to meet him: "Oh, it turns out that Bowa was injured too." After checking it, a smile appeared on his face, "You have already handled it for me, thank you very much. Didn't Bova bite you?" He enthusiastically came to help them tie the horse.

Ji Xia smiled: "I wanted to bite, but I didn't."

Awang pulled them enthusiastically: "Go, go, go up and drink tea."

Going upstairs, Ji Xia found that Ding Chengsong was already sitting by the firepit, and Awang's old mother was making buttered tea. Seeing them coming up, Ji Xia hurriedly made the fragrant buttered tea that had already been brewed.

Ding Chengsong explained the purpose of his visit, and Awang nodded: "Yes, your instructor told me last year that you will come to my house to buy beef jerky this year. Now, my sheep and mastiff will be lost." Thank you again and again.

Ji Xia drank buttered tea, looked at Awang's house, and was attracted by a small thing in the corner of the room. It was a small Tibetan mastiff with golden hair, and it seemed to be sleeping. "Awang, is that a little mastiff?"

Awang followed his line of sight: "Yes, that's Bowa's child. The mother mastiff at home gave birth a little late this year, and the pups are not very good. The remaining one is weak and unsold. Go, stay at home."

Ji Xia walked over, squatted next to the little mastiff, and looked at it. It was probably less than two months old. Tibetan mastiffs usually start to estrus around October, and give birth before January. The pups born in February and March are small and have a thicker coat. Short, not very suitable for the climate of the plateau, it is a defective product.Ji Xia couldn't help feeling a little pity, and reached out to touch the little mastiff's head, the little guy's instinct was to open his mouth to bite Ji Xia, but he dodged it skillfully.

Awang saw that he liked it very much: "Comrades in the People's Liberation Army like dogs very much, why don't you give this one to you."

Ji Xia smiled: "Thank you, Awang, although I like it very much, but I can't keep a dog." It is not allowed to keep pets in the army.

Ding Chengsong said: "Awang, you don't plan to take this little mastiff? Our company commander just wants to raise a dog, so give it to us."

Awang quickly agreed: "Of course."

In this way, the little Tibetan Mastiff Dorje entered the barracks.It was only then that Ji Xia found out that their company commander had also been a military dog ​​trainer for a while, and the two dog lovers had a common language and often exchanged dog training experiences together.

Although the Tibetan mastiff was raised by the company commander, it was actually taken care of by Ji Xia most of the time, and became everyone's pet.Ji Xia knew the character of the Tibetan Mastiff, so he didn't follow the normal dog training methods. Generally, dog training is to train its individual obedience, and only obey the master's orders.As for Dorji, Ji Xia consciously trains its gregariousness, making it willing to be fed by other comrades-in-arms, and to play with other people.In this way, there is no need to worry that one day when he leaves the company, the Tibetan mastiff will starve to death because he recognizes his master.

Because of the Tibetan Mastiff Dorji, Ji Xia and the company commander also became familiar with each other.The company commander said with a smile: "Xiao Ji, I think you are very proficient in dog training, you don't look like an amateur."

Ji Xia was taken aback, and said with a grin: "I used to go to the dog training base opened by my friend to learn for half a year."

"That's it." The company commander suddenly sighed, "It takes a lot of capital to set up a dog training base, so it should hire a lot of people, right? When I was in the dog training class, many comrades-in-arms couldn't train dogs anymore after retiring from the army. Now, if they can train dogs again, they will be very happy."

Ji Xia's heart moved, a thought flashed in his mind, but he didn't say anything.

The company commander patted Duoji's head, and changed the subject: "There's an exercise next month, you have to perform well." The company commander naturally knew that Ji Xia wanted to go to the special forces, and he was also very optimistic about this motivated young man.

"Yes, we must fulfill our mission." Ji Xia stood at attention, gave a military salute with a snap, and left Duoji to train by himself.

Duoji saw Ji Xia leave and wanted to follow, the company commander called out: "Duoji, come back."

Duoji looked at the company commander, then at Ji Xia, lying on the ground reluctantly, holding the small ball with his paws, biting the ball as if venting, it was a training tool Ji Xia bought for him.
