After death drama in Lower Austria
Carinthia’s military dogs get a modern home
Following a fatal incident in Wiener Neustadt, the Austrian Armed Forces are also upgrading their facilities in Klagenfurt. Safety is the top priority.
The reason for the new, state-of-the-art dog house in the Goëss barracks in Klagenfurt is actually a sad one. In 2019, a soldier in Wiener Neustadt was mauled to death by a military police dog. The shock in the army was huge - we reported.
"Such a tragic death must never be allowed to happen again. That is why Carinthia has also been upgraded in terms of security technology," as Carinthia's military commander Philipp Eder emphasized in his speech during the ceremonial opening of the facility on Wednesday.
In the new dog house of the Carinthian military police in the Goëss barracks, up to six four-legged friends can be housed and cared for separately: "This is the first project to be implemented in this form. A total of 1,200 square meters were built, and the facility is safe from being jumped over and undermined," say the military police officers in particular. The kennels are also equipped with wooden floors and a retreat area, and there is a fenced garden outside. The new home for the sniffer dogs was built within a year.
In recent years, the training concept for the military police's four-legged friends has been redesigned, and the first dogs are now even being used specifically as trackers.
