The idea was sound, the execution was fucking shit.
Dogs were trained using sadistic counter-productive methods, by starving them and then putting food under the training tanks. They were using soviet tanks instead of german tanks. They didn't do the battlefield stress training. When they'd release the dogs in battle, they'd just get scared shitless and run back and try to hide under the soviet tanks.
The germans were using RC self-propelled anti-tank landmines. These worked great but they costed absurd amounts of money, absolutely not worth it.
