And I learned that I had to calm down my normal style of driving. I had not realized how sharp I routinely took corners and did
        U-turns in traffic until I heard Kilo sliding around in the back and thumping into the seat and doors and partition walls. So for
        his sake I smoothed out my cornering.
        I also noticed that Kilo learned what certain turns and hills and speed bumps meant to him; when we were getting close to the
        police station or home, or some of the fields where I’d run him, I’d see him get up and stick his head out the window, he knew
        when we were getting close to a destination he was familiar with based just on what combination of turns or road conditions he
        was recognizing.

        In the very back I had my usual gear and equipment, and a box for Kilo’s
        leashes and toys. Also visible here on the right side there is a black lock box
        that was bolted onto the floor securely; that was where I kept my stash of
        official training drugs. I had small quantities of heroin, some cocaine, some
        crack cocaine, and some meth crystals. I was the only one with a key for
        that thing and I was required to not lose any of it, ever. The drugs came
        from local criminals that had been caught with them. To be sure about the
        purity, we had the drugs sent off the state crime lab and they confirmed
        they were indeed the drugs we thought they were. I had about 20 grams of
        crystal meth, which I divided into several smaller heat sealed baggies, so I
        could train Kilo with 1 gram of meth, or 10 grams, or 15.. All of the different
        drugs were heat sealed in clear plastic, and I carried them separately in
        airtight  containers  in  the  lock  box  so  there  would  be  no  cross
        contamination with each other.
