1
00:00:02,560 --> 00:00:04,040
Speaker 1: Jason Lauren on No.

2
00:00:04,280 --> 00:00:04,920
Speaker 2: One hundred.

3
00:00:05,240 --> 00:00:09,039
Speaker 3: This is Noble one hundred Focus Lauren. It is just gone.

4
00:00:10,680 --> 00:00:13,600
Speaker 3: She's in nineteen to eight. What a day tops in

5
00:00:13,720 --> 00:00:15,760
Speaker 3: nineteen It is eleven at the moment, it's time for

6
00:00:15,800 --> 00:00:26,799
Speaker 3: our favorite segment, Jason Lawrence, tell me what you know. Yes,

7
00:00:26,880 --> 00:00:30,160
Speaker 3: Pride the paper. We are big fans of the Victorian

8
00:00:30,200 --> 00:00:30,920
Speaker 3: Police and we've.

9
00:00:30,760 --> 00:00:36,760
Speaker 4: Got the cutos police officer we've ever seen. Touching it

10
00:00:36,920 --> 00:00:37,680
Speaker 4: can't stop playing.

11
00:00:37,800 --> 00:00:40,479
Speaker 3: Please don't touch him. His name is Senior Sergeant Mark Boyson.

12
00:00:41,400 --> 00:00:43,040
Speaker 1: Morning, Mark, Hey, you go go.

13
00:00:43,240 --> 00:00:46,400
Speaker 4: We are excellent also very handsome. Oh sure Mark has

14
00:00:46,440 --> 00:00:50,360
Speaker 4: brought with him Riggs, puppy police dog.

15
00:00:51,080 --> 00:00:51,680
Speaker 1: Is it true?

16
00:00:51,800 --> 00:00:53,680
Speaker 4: Twelve week called German shepherd?

17
00:00:53,920 --> 00:00:56,720
Speaker 3: Has Riggs been named after leitha weapon Riggs and Murton?

18
00:00:56,880 --> 00:00:58,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's true, he's yes.

19
00:00:58,800 --> 00:01:00,880
Speaker 5: We give the handlers an opportunity to come up with

20
00:01:00,920 --> 00:01:03,480
Speaker 5: some names and we sort of vet them and see

21
00:01:03,480 --> 00:01:03,880
Speaker 5: how we go.

22
00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:05,600
Speaker 1: And yeah, that one past the muster.

23
00:01:05,880 --> 00:01:07,319
Speaker 4: Riggs just peed in the studio.

24
00:01:07,360 --> 00:01:09,800
Speaker 6: Guys, got a situation it could.

25
00:01:09,640 --> 00:01:10,640
Speaker 1: Be could be man.

26
00:01:11,480 --> 00:01:15,119
Speaker 6: So okay, so Riggs in, where does he start training?

27
00:01:15,120 --> 00:01:18,120
Speaker 5: He's twelve weeks Well he started now effectively, but it's

28
00:01:18,200 --> 00:01:22,920
Speaker 5: more with his age. It's more about the environmental training

29
00:01:22,959 --> 00:01:24,800
Speaker 5: and making sure he stands up to those sort of

30
00:01:24,880 --> 00:01:27,080
Speaker 5: riggers that we want him to show when he finally

31
00:01:27,280 --> 00:01:30,080
Speaker 5: gets operational down the track, which would probably be we're

32
00:01:30,080 --> 00:01:31,800
Speaker 5: not looking for him to be a police dog for

33
00:01:31,800 --> 00:01:35,120
Speaker 5: another twelve fourteen, sixteen months even. It just depends on

34
00:01:35,160 --> 00:01:38,120
Speaker 5: how that development goes. And yeah, so there's a lot

35
00:01:38,160 --> 00:01:39,760
Speaker 5: of development happening now, though.

36
00:01:39,720 --> 00:01:42,200
Speaker 4: What sort of thing will he be sniffing out? Is

37
00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:44,680
Speaker 4: he like an attack dog.

38
00:01:44,959 --> 00:01:49,280
Speaker 1: That we don't call him that? No, but no, definitely not.

39
00:01:49,400 --> 00:01:52,440
Speaker 5: He's a tracking dog, so he'll be used on frontline

40
00:01:52,440 --> 00:01:56,000
Speaker 5: policing for general purpose work we call it. So that'll

41
00:01:56,000 --> 00:02:00,360
Speaker 5: be tracking for criminals effectively, and we'll train him to

42
00:02:00,640 --> 00:02:04,160
Speaker 5: look for people. It could also be a searching at

43
00:02:04,240 --> 00:02:08,000
Speaker 5: a scenario for missing people. Could also be for subduing.

44
00:02:08,600 --> 00:02:11,840
Speaker 5: We've just got to know the facts are that sometimes

45
00:02:11,840 --> 00:02:15,000
Speaker 5: the scenarios where we need the dog for seat scenarios,

46
00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:15,560
Speaker 5: those tops of the.

47
00:02:15,720 --> 00:02:21,600
Speaker 3: Right safe Clint's committed a crime. Believable hypothetical, I give

48
00:02:21,639 --> 00:02:24,640
Speaker 3: you something of cleant to sniff, like his.

49
00:02:24,760 --> 00:02:26,720
Speaker 7: Hat for example, is that what they do do they

50
00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:30,600
Speaker 7: a bit of there are dogs that do sendse discriminate

51
00:02:30,680 --> 00:02:33,880
Speaker 7: like that, and so that's probably a lot of what

52
00:02:33,960 --> 00:02:36,160
Speaker 7: you see with bloodhounds and things like that.

53
00:02:36,240 --> 00:02:41,240
Speaker 5: And so no, it's about we do know that they

54
00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:44,040
Speaker 5: send discriminate to a point, but it's about most recent

55
00:02:44,120 --> 00:02:47,760
Speaker 5: human sense. So that is initially imprinting is about understanding

56
00:02:47,960 --> 00:02:51,000
Speaker 5: human sense. So the dog will will just basically scuff

57
00:02:51,080 --> 00:02:53,239
Speaker 5: the ground whence the dog indicates that they get a

58
00:02:53,240 --> 00:02:55,680
Speaker 5: little reward and it develops from there in terms of.

59
00:02:55,720 --> 00:03:00,240
Speaker 3: To a track now indicating PCs Clint outside down down

60
00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:02,800
Speaker 3: the street right, and you're like, that's our crim Do

61
00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:04,600
Speaker 3: you let him off the lead and can he bring

62
00:03:04,680 --> 00:03:05,240
Speaker 3: Clint down?

63
00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:10,360
Speaker 5: Hopefully that is never required, but look, the realistic nature

64
00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:12,399
Speaker 5: of the job is that we do have to train

65
00:03:12,440 --> 00:03:13,080
Speaker 5: the dogs.

66
00:03:12,800 --> 00:03:13,799
Speaker 1: To do those types of things.

67
00:03:13,880 --> 00:03:16,800
Speaker 3: Yes, and are they taught to like do they bite

68
00:03:16,919 --> 00:03:19,640
Speaker 3: or they just latch on to latch on and hold.

69
00:03:21,440 --> 00:03:24,120
Speaker 4: So German shepherds are amazing because I have one growing

70
00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:27,200
Speaker 4: up and it could jump over like a six meter fence.

71
00:03:27,600 --> 00:03:30,440
Speaker 4: They're quite six meters seems a lot, maybe not six,

72
00:03:30,600 --> 00:03:32,600
Speaker 4: maybe like two and a half meter defence, but they're

73
00:03:32,600 --> 00:03:36,280
Speaker 4: pretty amazing.

74
00:03:34,720 --> 00:03:38,040
Speaker 5: And we do train them to do that. Now, we

75
00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:40,720
Speaker 5: also have other breeds, but probably the good thing about

76
00:03:40,760 --> 00:03:43,320
Speaker 5: the German shepherds they are all around U so to speak.

77
00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:45,440
Speaker 5: They track, they search, they bite, they do everything we

78
00:03:45,480 --> 00:03:46,200
Speaker 5: want offense.

79
00:03:46,400 --> 00:03:48,720
Speaker 1: I'm not scared about a beagle latching on. No.

80
00:03:48,360 --> 00:03:52,400
Speaker 5: But but now melan was, which are belgianids, they are

81
00:03:52,480 --> 00:03:55,360
Speaker 5: farmer agile, and we've got a number of them at

82
00:03:55,360 --> 00:03:57,720
Speaker 5: the moment. We've probably got up towards ten at the moment,

83
00:03:58,680 --> 00:04:02,560
Speaker 5: and they're becoming far more predominant now they're used in

84
00:04:02,600 --> 00:04:05,840
Speaker 5: the military, etc. We've sort of moved into a number

85
00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:08,600
Speaker 5: of those dogs. They've got a they're far more agile

86
00:04:08,640 --> 00:04:09,240
Speaker 5: than the shepherd.

87
00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:11,080
Speaker 3: Now, I'll tell you what, while we've got the cops

88
00:04:11,080 --> 00:04:14,480
Speaker 3: here thirteen twenty four ten, if you have any questions

89
00:04:14,520 --> 00:04:17,280
Speaker 3: for the dog squad this morning thirteen twenty four ten

90
00:04:17,320 --> 00:04:19,040
Speaker 3: to join us on the air. You were saying it

91
00:04:19,120 --> 00:04:22,520
Speaker 3: could be sixteen months till he's fully trained. If he passes,

92
00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:26,080
Speaker 3: he then becomes a fully fledged police officer.

93
00:04:26,960 --> 00:04:29,040
Speaker 1: So any rules.

94
00:04:28,680 --> 00:04:31,480
Speaker 3: Like us touching you, If we touch him, technically we've

95
00:04:31,480 --> 00:04:32,680
Speaker 3: assaulted a police officer.

96
00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:35,920
Speaker 6: I think what's like that with the horses too?

97
00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:39,600
Speaker 5: Yeah, well we prefer We're very risk averse with our

98
00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:42,000
Speaker 5: dogs in terms of we really you know, if someone

99
00:04:42,160 --> 00:04:45,760
Speaker 5: is approaching us, if they ask, more often than not

100
00:04:45,800 --> 00:04:48,359
Speaker 5: we'll say no because they're in working mode.

101
00:04:48,480 --> 00:04:51,560
Speaker 1: But certainly we want dogs that are really.

102
00:04:52,160 --> 00:04:54,960
Speaker 5: They can be out there and we can comfortably walk

103
00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:55,600
Speaker 5: them down the street.

104
00:04:55,600 --> 00:04:57,360
Speaker 1: They're not just going to latch on the side. We don't.

105
00:04:57,480 --> 00:05:00,520
Speaker 5: We've really got to look at temperament. Temperaments are part

106
00:05:00,560 --> 00:05:03,000
Speaker 5: of what we're looking for. And we were the same

107
00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:03,920
Speaker 5: when building this show.

108
00:05:06,200 --> 00:05:09,240
Speaker 4: Three dopey people. Put them all together and see what happens?

109
00:05:09,680 --> 00:05:13,000
Speaker 6: Do you do you grow attached with that question.

110
00:05:13,520 --> 00:05:15,720
Speaker 5: I've had a number of dogs over the years, and

111
00:05:16,400 --> 00:05:17,320
Speaker 5: there's no doubt about it.

112
00:05:17,400 --> 00:05:19,560
Speaker 1: I'm not too proud to say that I've.

113
00:05:21,560 --> 00:05:23,560
Speaker 5: Had over a couple of dogs, and you know, once

114
00:05:23,760 --> 00:05:26,400
Speaker 5: because of that association you had that your partner, because

115
00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:27,520
Speaker 5: we work by ourself.

116
00:05:27,240 --> 00:05:29,719
Speaker 4: And do you get partnered up and then you're there.

117
00:05:29,520 --> 00:05:31,960
Speaker 1: Your dog for life? Turn and they live with us,

118
00:05:32,320 --> 00:05:34,920
Speaker 1: they live with their families, come home.

119
00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:37,120
Speaker 5: With you to hang on. How long would they stay

120
00:05:37,120 --> 00:05:40,760
Speaker 5: in the service? For generally speaking, can ear and growland

121
00:05:40,760 --> 00:05:41,120
Speaker 5: over there?

122
00:05:41,240 --> 00:05:45,679
Speaker 1: We what's he found?

123
00:05:46,640 --> 00:05:48,640
Speaker 6: Protein powder.

124
00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:55,919
Speaker 5: Around the probably do on average around.

125
00:05:55,600 --> 00:05:58,120
Speaker 3: Eight years of service and then they retire them.

126
00:05:58,360 --> 00:06:00,760
Speaker 1: Do you keep absolutely so many dogs?

127
00:06:00,800 --> 00:06:01,320
Speaker 6: You got a home.

128
00:06:01,520 --> 00:06:03,280
Speaker 5: I've only got the one at the moment. But I'm

129
00:06:03,320 --> 00:06:06,040
Speaker 5: sort of not in I'm not chasing too many dogs

130
00:06:06,040 --> 00:06:08,080
Speaker 5: these days or behind too many dogs these days.

131
00:06:08,120 --> 00:06:11,640
Speaker 1: I'm leaving it to the younger men. Most crops keep

132
00:06:11,680 --> 00:06:14,520
Speaker 1: the dogs. Or with that question, you couldn't give you.

133
00:06:14,520 --> 00:06:16,880
Speaker 5: We're fifty years old next year as the squad, Wow,

134
00:06:16,960 --> 00:06:19,839
Speaker 5: and I'm yet to see one person who's never kept

135
00:06:19,839 --> 00:06:20,160
Speaker 5: their dog.

136
00:06:20,360 --> 00:06:21,840
Speaker 1: Yeah.

137
00:06:21,880 --> 00:06:24,279
Speaker 4: That's nice, Yeah, because you would spend so much time together.

138
00:06:24,320 --> 00:06:26,400
Speaker 4: I love when you see those videos about the dogs

139
00:06:26,440 --> 00:06:29,040
Speaker 4: retiring and they throw them a little farewell party. I

140
00:06:29,160 --> 00:06:31,160
Speaker 4: saw one of the airport dogs the other day did

141
00:06:31,200 --> 00:06:33,680
Speaker 4: its last service, and they dropped from the escalators in

142
00:06:33,680 --> 00:06:35,800
Speaker 4: the airport like fifty tennis balls and the dogs.

143
00:06:35,920 --> 00:06:39,599
Speaker 1: You're going to say, fifty dogs. Actually, that was really good.

144
00:06:40,600 --> 00:06:42,000
Speaker 5: I've brought it in a thing just recently in the

145
00:06:42,080 --> 00:06:44,520
Speaker 5: last couple of years, that when they do retire, we

146
00:06:44,839 --> 00:06:46,000
Speaker 5: frame up a photo.

147
00:06:45,839 --> 00:06:47,640
Speaker 1: And a park and that for the dog and the handler.

148
00:06:47,640 --> 00:06:50,240
Speaker 5: And I think it's really important to really acknowledge them

149
00:06:50,440 --> 00:06:51,120
Speaker 5: for what they've done.

150
00:06:51,120 --> 00:06:53,719
Speaker 1: I mean they've been. We ask a lot of them.

151
00:06:53,839 --> 00:06:57,440
Speaker 4: Yeah, absolutely, all right thirteen twenty fourteen. If you have

152
00:06:57,480 --> 00:07:00,200
Speaker 4: a question to probe the popo, there are so many

153
00:07:00,240 --> 00:07:01,119
Speaker 4: calls coming through.

154
00:07:01,320 --> 00:07:03,360
Speaker 3: All right, well we'll come back and take your calls.

155
00:07:03,400 --> 00:07:04,200
Speaker 3: On the other side of this.

156
00:07:04,960 --> 00:07:08,960
Speaker 4: We're joined by Senior Sergeant Mark Boyson from the Victoria

157
00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:12,360
Speaker 4: Police Dog Squad with puppy rigs. It's a twelve week

158
00:07:12,400 --> 00:07:14,960
Speaker 4: cold German ship that's one day going to save the world.

159
00:07:15,120 --> 00:07:20,040
Speaker 1: Wondering why he got his name. No, I haven't done

160
00:07:20,080 --> 00:07:23,120

Speaker 4: Oh god, where did you do?

00:07:53,360 --> 00:07:55,000
Speaker 1: Yes, that's true Russia.

172
00:07:55,040 --> 00:07:56,080
Speaker 4: Is he behaving himself?

173
00:07:56,440 --> 00:07:58,679
Speaker 1: He was very good actually with his film.

174
00:07:59,600 --> 00:08:02,320
Speaker 4: The second you introduced yourself with Senior Sergeant Mark Boyce

175
00:08:02,360 --> 00:08:03,560
Speaker 4: and I bet.

176
00:08:02,720 --> 00:08:06,240
Speaker 5: It was just buying a coffee at the time, and hey,

177
00:08:06,640 --> 00:08:09,080
Speaker 5: the mark I just touched on music festivals there, what

178
00:08:09,200 --> 00:08:12,520
Speaker 5: sort of dogs would you guys use to sniff out

179
00:08:12,560 --> 00:08:14,840
Speaker 5: like firearms, narcotics?

180
00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:15,360
Speaker 1: Money?

181
00:08:15,920 --> 00:08:19,720
Speaker 5: Yet that they're are labradors, So we have fifteen of

182
00:08:19,720 --> 00:08:23,800
Speaker 5: those and yeah, they're a detective dogs out Dub. They're

183
00:08:23,840 --> 00:08:26,280
Speaker 5: really in him. So on any given day of the

184
00:08:26,280 --> 00:08:30,240
Speaker 5: week they're will be doing warrants on premises.

185
00:08:30,440 --> 00:08:34,520
Speaker 1: Basically on the lab fantastics might be stupid question.

186
00:08:34,559 --> 00:08:37,200
Speaker 4: If you're a dog, you'd be a labrador, Jason, Absolutely,

187
00:08:37,520 --> 00:08:39,679
Speaker 4: you could sniff anything out a bit dopely.

188
00:08:39,320 --> 00:08:41,199
Speaker 1: Wouldn't be a whippet nerror.

189
00:08:41,520 --> 00:08:43,280
Speaker 3: The pastries come out here in the kitchen, Trust me,

190
00:08:45,800 --> 00:08:47,160
Speaker 3: how do they know the scent?

191
00:08:47,320 --> 00:08:47,400
Speaker 1: Like?

192
00:08:47,440 --> 00:08:49,560
Speaker 3: Have you got to get them around money and drugs

193
00:08:49,600 --> 00:08:50,439
Speaker 3: and get them used.

194
00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:56,480
Speaker 1: And it's also odor recognition and it's just repetition.

195
00:08:56,600 --> 00:08:59,560
Speaker 5: So you introduce an odor to them, you can get

196
00:08:59,559 --> 00:09:02,440
Speaker 5: them to follow and you know whatever it is, and

197
00:09:03,160 --> 00:09:05,959
Speaker 5: you just keep introducing that odor, and once they give

198
00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:09,480
Speaker 5: you that impression that they've understood it, they're rewarded.

199
00:09:09,120 --> 00:09:11,319
Speaker 1: And it's just it's compounding from there.

200
00:09:11,400 --> 00:09:14,840
Speaker 5: You continuously introduce that odor, have that oida present and

201
00:09:14,840 --> 00:09:16,760
Speaker 5: they're rewarded and they understand it over time.

202
00:09:16,840 --> 00:09:18,720
Speaker 3: And and firearms have an.

203
00:09:18,640 --> 00:09:23,280
Speaker 5: Odor absolutely, so you've got obviously it's the powder itself

204
00:09:23,360 --> 00:09:28,040
Speaker 5: quite obviously, and also the cleaning, the oils and these

205
00:09:28,080 --> 00:09:30,280
Speaker 5: types of things there we're not specifically talking about the

206
00:09:30,320 --> 00:09:32,560
Speaker 5: metal and the wood, et cetera.

207
00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:35,640
Speaker 1: Depending on the makeup of the actual firearm. It's all

208
00:09:35,640 --> 00:09:38,000
Speaker 1: the other componatory around it and the.

209
00:09:37,920 --> 00:09:40,840
Speaker 5: Odors that are associated with a firearm and if the

210
00:09:40,840 --> 00:09:41,920
Speaker 5: firearm's been fired.

211
00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:45,719
Speaker 4: The dogs are gorgeous and they do an amazing job.

212
00:09:45,760 --> 00:09:48,360
Speaker 4: But are they protected at all? Do they wear protective gear?

213
00:09:48,920 --> 00:09:52,120
Speaker 5: So our general purpose dogs they will wear a vest

214
00:09:52,200 --> 00:09:55,959
Speaker 5: that basically covers the cross the chest area. It's actually

215
00:09:56,000 --> 00:09:59,480
Speaker 5: a New Zealand development in this in the protection for

216
00:09:59,520 --> 00:10:00,400
Speaker 5: the animals.

217
00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:02,360
Speaker 1: So that we do have the ability to.

218
00:10:02,320 --> 00:10:07,600
Speaker 5: Put some panels into the sides of the best yeah,

219
00:10:07,679 --> 00:10:08,800
Speaker 5: to give them added protection.

220
00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:13,040
Speaker 3: Absolutely, you can whistle because I can't. First Centlly, people

221
00:10:13,080 --> 00:10:15,600
Speaker 3: go to music festivals and think about putting bad things

222
00:10:15,679 --> 00:10:16,040
Speaker 3: up there.

223
00:10:17,760 --> 00:10:20,959
Speaker 1: Dogs dogs can sniff it up there. They're pretty good.

224
00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:26,319
Speaker 6: About them, you know, sniffing butts at the dog parks.

225
00:10:26,320 --> 00:10:28,080
Speaker 4: I'm sure they like it at music festival, Where's the.

226
00:10:28,080 --> 00:10:32,839
Speaker 3: Most where's the strangest plays? You've found someone trying to

227
00:10:32,880 --> 00:10:33,480
Speaker 3: hide something?

228
00:10:34,679 --> 00:10:36,800
Speaker 5: You might have hit on it, but yeah, that is

229
00:10:37,120 --> 00:10:39,280
Speaker 5: people will try all sorts of things, so you probably

230
00:10:39,320 --> 00:10:41,160
Speaker 5: I don't know as far as your imagination can take it.

231
00:10:42,240 --> 00:10:43,480
Speaker 1: Nothing surprise.

232
00:10:44,040 --> 00:10:46,840
Speaker 4: Hey, we have got many calls coming through because people

233
00:10:46,880 --> 00:10:49,439
Speaker 4: love asking the police questions. Let's go to fill Apile

234
00:10:49,520 --> 00:10:53,439
Speaker 4: and Colleen, good morning. Do you have a questions?

235
00:10:54,800 --> 00:10:56,600
Speaker 3: Mike, I'm just running to the dogs set to come

236
00:10:56,640 --> 00:10:58,440
Speaker 3: home with you every day as part of the family,

237
00:10:58,480 --> 00:11:01,280
Speaker 3: and then you work with them every day, and then

238
00:11:01,320 --> 00:11:03,199
Speaker 3: when they retire, do they get to live with you?

239
00:11:03,920 --> 00:11:04,160
Speaker 1: Yeah?

240
00:11:04,200 --> 00:11:06,600
Speaker 5: Absolutely, And I think that's a really good part of

241
00:11:07,360 --> 00:11:11,120
Speaker 5: that that bond is that mayor handlers have these dogs

242
00:11:11,200 --> 00:11:13,800
Speaker 5: from early phase, like is going on with rigs at

243
00:11:13,840 --> 00:11:16,960
Speaker 5: the moment, all the way through their career And yes,

244
00:11:17,040 --> 00:11:19,400
Speaker 5: and we're fifty years old as a squad next year,

245
00:11:20,480 --> 00:11:22,680
Speaker 5: and we're really proud to say that there's not one

246
00:11:22,720 --> 00:11:25,160
Speaker 5: dog in all that time that hasn't been retired to

247
00:11:25,200 --> 00:11:25,640
Speaker 5: a family.

248
00:11:26,559 --> 00:11:28,720
Speaker 6: Can you train that out of them? Like, because they retire,

249
00:11:28,720 --> 00:11:30,880
Speaker 6: they've got to sort of settle into a retirement life.

250
00:11:30,880 --> 00:11:31,800
Speaker 6: Can you actually train.

251
00:11:31,960 --> 00:11:33,280
Speaker 3: What do you mean if you've got a naughty uncle

252
00:11:34,440 --> 00:11:35,200
Speaker 3: Christmas time?

253
00:11:35,280 --> 00:11:38,280
Speaker 1: You know, all things happen at Christmas, and it's really.

254
00:11:38,040 --> 00:11:40,000
Speaker 5: Hard for him because it's their high drive dogs and

255
00:11:40,040 --> 00:11:41,720
Speaker 5: all they want to do is get into that car

256
00:11:41,800 --> 00:11:44,240
Speaker 5: and go to work, and it is hard for some

257
00:11:44,280 --> 00:11:48,040
Speaker 5: of them. Over time they sort of wean themselves off

258
00:11:48,080 --> 00:11:50,040
Speaker 5: at a bit, but you always see that glint in

259
00:11:50,080 --> 00:11:53,640
Speaker 5: their eye when they they want to go to work.

260
00:11:54,440 --> 00:11:56,960
Speaker 6: My uncle's yeah, right from Geelong.

261
00:11:57,040 --> 00:11:58,360
Speaker 4: Good morning. Have you got a question?

262
00:11:59,160 --> 00:12:01,599
Speaker 2: Yes, I do, good one and everyone. So once this

263
00:12:01,920 --> 00:12:04,880
Speaker 2: is your training, how long does it take actually be

264
00:12:05,360 --> 00:12:07,440
Speaker 2: governors sort of got the dogs and what are some

265
00:12:07,480 --> 00:12:09,720
Speaker 2: of the things that you actually do to kind of

266
00:12:09,720 --> 00:12:10,760
Speaker 2: get that sort of training.

267
00:12:11,760 --> 00:12:13,280
Speaker 1: So Riggs is an example.

268
00:12:13,320 --> 00:12:16,679
Speaker 5: He's starting off now it's more around environmental so making

269
00:12:16,720 --> 00:12:18,520
Speaker 5: sure that he can stand up to the riggers of

270
00:12:18,920 --> 00:12:22,320
Speaker 5: being basically exposed to anywhere we take him noises and

271
00:12:22,360 --> 00:12:26,360
Speaker 5: also you know in dark areas, all those types of things.

272
00:12:26,360 --> 00:12:28,079
Speaker 4: He's really a good job in the studio so far.

273
00:12:28,160 --> 00:12:30,520
Speaker 4: He's peed once and done a pool on the carpet,

274
00:12:30,800 --> 00:12:32,439
Speaker 4: so he's sitting into this environment.

275
00:12:35,120 --> 00:12:38,040
Speaker 1: Yes, he shamed himself. Unfortunately, it's not the first person

276
00:12:38,080 --> 00:12:39,160
Speaker 1: to do at the studio.

277
00:12:39,679 --> 00:12:41,840
Speaker 5: But now we develop from there, so it's over time

278
00:12:41,920 --> 00:12:44,840
Speaker 5: we just continue to build up the disciplines that we

279
00:12:44,840 --> 00:12:47,200
Speaker 5: want from him, and that's mainly for him to use

280
00:12:47,240 --> 00:12:51,400
Speaker 5: his nose for tracking, and it's anything that's sent bearing

281
00:12:51,440 --> 00:12:56,240
Speaker 5: after that. So it's all about finding discarded pieces of evidence.

282
00:12:56,920 --> 00:12:59,440
Speaker 5: But also then we've got of obviously understand that the

283
00:12:59,480 --> 00:13:02,800
Speaker 5: dog has courage. He's really got to show that as well,

284
00:13:03,520 --> 00:13:06,199
Speaker 5: so the dog can respond to a number of scenarios

285
00:13:06,240 --> 00:13:09,079
Speaker 5: where the expectation is he's got to protect the handler

286
00:13:09,280 --> 00:13:11,040
Speaker 5: and do his job, and that could be about to

287
00:13:11,080 --> 00:13:15,080
Speaker 5: subduing somebody. There's a lot involved to understand that dog

288
00:13:15,160 --> 00:13:18,560
Speaker 5: from twelve weeks of age, as Riggs is, we're not

289
00:13:18,679 --> 00:13:21,280
Speaker 5: asking and putting him under a lot of pressure until

290
00:13:21,280 --> 00:13:24,640
Speaker 5: he does hit at least twelve, forteen or sixteen months.

291
00:13:24,679 --> 00:13:27,240
Speaker 5: And that's why it takes so long, because you've got

292
00:13:27,280 --> 00:13:28,720
Speaker 5: to really let the dog grow.

293
00:13:29,679 --> 00:13:32,240
Speaker 3: How do you know when he's onto something like I've

294
00:13:32,240 --> 00:13:34,040
Speaker 3: heard the dogs at the airport will sit next to the.

295
00:13:34,040 --> 00:13:36,880
Speaker 5: Luggage and you know what, they're all different, they're all

296
00:13:36,920 --> 00:13:39,520
Speaker 5: unique in the way they do it. But as a handler,

297
00:13:39,760 --> 00:13:42,440
Speaker 5: you are looking for classic indications and it's about there's

298
00:13:42,440 --> 00:13:43,160
Speaker 5: a barkin.

299
00:13:44,360 --> 00:13:45,760
Speaker 1: Barking with these dogs.

300
00:13:46,480 --> 00:13:50,240
Speaker 5: It's about head movement, it's about change in his posture

301
00:13:50,280 --> 00:13:52,440
Speaker 5: and the way it's to you as a handlers. We

302
00:13:52,520 --> 00:13:55,720
Speaker 5: run off, we run off a long lead, so we'd

303
00:13:55,720 --> 00:13:58,800
Speaker 5: be ten to fifteen meters behind the dog. He's in

304
00:13:58,800 --> 00:14:00,520
Speaker 5: a harness and we're tracking a lot with a long

305
00:14:00,600 --> 00:14:03,000
Speaker 5: lead and we're casting him across an area to try

306
00:14:03,040 --> 00:14:04,959
Speaker 5: and understand or see a change of behavior.

307
00:14:05,080 --> 00:14:06,640
Speaker 4: Right, that's why you have to know the dogs.

308
00:14:06,679 --> 00:14:08,800
Speaker 3: So absolutely we will borrow some of them for the

309
00:14:08,880 --> 00:14:10,760
Speaker 3: kids at Westfield, you know when the kids run off

310
00:14:10,800 --> 00:14:11,400
Speaker 3: for me at the shop.

311
00:14:14,600 --> 00:14:17,000
Speaker 1: All right, Jackie in too long? Just to wrap things up,

312
00:14:17,040 --> 00:14:18,680
Speaker 1: jack wats your question for the paper.

313
00:14:19,800 --> 00:14:21,920
Speaker 2: It was just pretty much more like the training actually

314
00:14:21,960 --> 00:14:23,680
Speaker 2: as the police officer is what you need to be

315
00:14:24,440 --> 00:14:26,680
Speaker 2: doing to actually be a dog handler. Like what do

316
00:14:26,720 --> 00:14:27,360
Speaker 2: you go through once you.

317
00:14:27,880 --> 00:14:28,760
Speaker 6: Go through the academy?

318
00:14:29,520 --> 00:14:32,520
