We visited this topic a while back (sheesh, have I been on the list that 
long?) Any way, we agreed they only real way was to freeze the dog with 
the handler, as it takes years to train a dog correctly, like for S&R, or 
security work. We have one in our game, even with a full char sheet for 
him, he was part of the persons 5kg personal allowance. While not a 
security dog, he did help them more then they expected.
