Police were called to the scene in Berlin when Roland T, 54, shouted at passers-by last year.
When a patrol arrived, he allegedly showed them the trick he had taught his dog, gave the salute along with Adolf, and shouted: "Sieg Heil."
Now he has been charged with using symbols of unconstitutional organisations. If found guilty, he faces up to three years in prison.
