00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:30,600
Speaker 1: I've also got patrol dog. Jack's, not to be confused

13
00:00:30,640 --> 00:00:33,760
Speaker 1: with Axe or Drax Jax.

14
00:00:33,840 --> 00:00:36,360
Speaker 2: Now Jack's. The last time Jackson is in the studio

15
00:00:36,400 --> 00:00:39,600
Speaker 2: on Pierry Street, he disgraced himself. He took a poo

16
00:00:41,240 --> 00:00:43,879
Speaker 2: and I never recovered from it. Steve, I laughed for

17
00:00:43,960 --> 00:00:45,559
Speaker 2: about half an hour straight.

18
00:00:45,960 --> 00:00:48,360
Speaker 3: I know he's really sad that that's the thing that's

19
00:00:48,400 --> 00:00:50,480
Speaker 3: really forefront in your mind, But that's all right.

20
00:00:51,080 --> 00:00:56,279
Speaker 1: He is absolutely beautiful. He's turned into a Woolly's.

21
00:00:55,960 --> 00:00:57,440
Speaker 3: Massive mini dras.

22
00:00:57,600 --> 00:01:01,840
Speaker 1: He's mini drags and he's shiny coat. These police dogs,

23
00:01:01,840 --> 00:01:03,640
Speaker 1: I want to know what you feed them, because they're

24
00:01:03,760 --> 00:01:06,160
Speaker 1: like they've got the most beautiful coats.

25
00:01:06,319 --> 00:01:08,200
Speaker 3: Some of them sit at the table with us.

26
00:01:10,720 --> 00:01:15,280
Speaker 2: Now, Now, who is Jacksie's handler? That's me, that's you.

27
00:01:15,800 --> 00:01:19,960
Speaker 2: Now tell me Harry what what type of dog is?

28
00:01:20,160 --> 00:01:20,280
Speaker 1: Is he?

29
00:01:20,360 --> 00:01:21,600
Speaker 2: Good boys?

30
00:01:21,720 --> 00:01:23,160
Speaker 4: Most of the time. He's a good boy. He's a

31
00:01:23,640 --> 00:01:27,759
Speaker 4: he's a German Shepherd. He's almost two years old. He's

32
00:01:27,800 --> 00:01:28,480
Speaker 4: a patrol dog.

33
00:01:28,760 --> 00:01:30,560
Speaker 2: He is, and he's fantastic.

34
00:01:30,600 --> 00:01:35,000
Speaker 1: Now how as he he's he and acts are very

35
00:01:35,480 --> 00:01:38,440
Speaker 1: soon going to be completing there.

36
00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:40,240
Speaker 2: Well, they're going to be graduating, aren't they.

37
00:01:40,360 --> 00:01:43,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, so we're going to be graduating I think officially

38
00:01:43,200 --> 00:01:43,479
Speaker 4: on the.

39
00:01:45,480 --> 00:01:49,760
Speaker 1: And so Riley, you've got Axe, yes, and his acts.

40
00:01:49,640 --> 00:01:51,640
Speaker 2: A good dog as well, behaving to me?

41
00:01:51,800 --> 00:01:52,000
Speaker 3: Is he.

42
00:01:55,440 --> 00:01:57,920
Speaker 1: Steve talkers through the kind of training that they have

43
00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:00,440
Speaker 1: to do. You know that not only the dog handlers

44
00:02:00,480 --> 00:02:03,080
Speaker 1: have to obviously conduct with the patrol dogs, but the

45
00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:04,920
Speaker 1: kind of training the patrol dogs. Mate.

46
00:02:05,480 --> 00:02:08,360
Speaker 3: Look, one of the things that we do spend a

47
00:02:08,360 --> 00:02:10,720
Speaker 3: lot of time with his control. And obviously you can

48
00:02:10,720 --> 00:02:13,320
Speaker 3: see the level of control of Harry's his dog right now,

49
00:02:13,600 --> 00:02:17,560
Speaker 3: but normally it's very very good. We've we've got a

50
00:02:17,560 --> 00:02:20,000
Speaker 3: really exciting time at the moment. We've got Ax and

51
00:02:20,040 --> 00:02:23,680
Speaker 3: Jack's about to graduate. The breeder. She's bringing up at

52
00:02:23,680 --> 00:02:26,000
Speaker 3: the same time two more pups that are going to

53
00:02:26,080 --> 00:02:29,360
Speaker 3: enter our program. And unfortunately, when one of the dogs

54
00:02:29,360 --> 00:02:31,480
Speaker 3: get a little bit old, there's time to retire. And

55
00:02:31,520 --> 00:02:32,480
Speaker 3: that's Harry's other dog.

56
00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:34,400
Speaker 2: So, Harry, how long have you.

57
00:02:34,440 --> 00:02:38,040
Speaker 4: Had FITZI I've had him about four and a half

58
00:02:38,160 --> 00:02:38,640
Speaker 4: years now.

59
00:02:38,760 --> 00:02:39,040
Speaker 1: Wow.

60
00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:41,840
Speaker 2: And what's it like then when he retires?

61
00:02:41,880 --> 00:02:44,400
Speaker 1: Does he does he stay with you or does he

62
00:02:44,520 --> 00:02:46,680
Speaker 1: go to like does he go to another family?

63
00:02:46,760 --> 00:02:48,040
Speaker 2: What happens with the police dog?

64
00:02:48,080 --> 00:02:49,919
Speaker 4: And he's going to retire with me, He's going to

65
00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:52,400
Speaker 4: stay home with the kids, going to chase tennis balls

66
00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:53,480
Speaker 4: now intead of chasing crooks.

67
00:02:55,160 --> 00:02:59,760
Speaker 1: Yes, I mean, like, the fact is these are they

68
00:02:59,760 --> 00:03:03,440
Speaker 1: are working dogs. They work bloody hard as well. You know,

69
00:03:03,480 --> 00:03:06,480
Speaker 1: they're out there catching criminals when they're doing the wrong thing,

70
00:03:06,840 --> 00:03:08,560
Speaker 1: and it takes a heck of a lot of training.

71
00:03:08,600 --> 00:03:09,200
Speaker 2: Doesn't that stay?

72
00:03:09,400 --> 00:03:12,320
Speaker 3: Absolutely? Absolutely? But with their training and things like that,

73
00:03:12,360 --> 00:03:14,200
Speaker 3: you've got to remember that they do need to sit

74
00:03:14,240 --> 00:03:16,320
Speaker 3: in the amount of downtime as well. Life's got to be

75
00:03:16,360 --> 00:03:20,280
Speaker 3: fun for them. Fitzy, He'll go off to Greenda Pastors

76
00:03:20,320 --> 00:03:22,760
Speaker 3: and have a lot of fun with Harry and the family,

77
00:03:23,600 --> 00:03:26,280
Speaker 3: but the boys, you know, when the dogs aren't working,

78
00:03:26,360 --> 00:03:28,080
Speaker 3: it's about having fun and keep them engaged.

79
00:03:28,160 --> 00:03:30,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's really interesting then to hear, you know, like

80
00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:33,920
Speaker 1: with a lot of the police dog, with a lot

81
00:03:33,960 --> 00:03:35,680
Speaker 1: of the police dogs, but also a lot of the

82
00:03:35,720 --> 00:03:38,280
Speaker 1: handlers you guys. I mean, we know that our police

83
00:03:38,280 --> 00:03:39,520
Speaker 1: officers are part of the community.

84
00:03:39,520 --> 00:03:40,080
Speaker 2: You guys have.

85
00:03:40,080 --> 00:03:42,800
Speaker 1: Families of your own. But to hear the way that

86
00:03:42,840 --> 00:03:45,640
Speaker 1: the police dogs can go from you know, working they're

87
00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:47,840
Speaker 1: out on the street obviously catching people when they're doing

88
00:03:47,840 --> 00:03:50,320
Speaker 1: the wrong thing, and then they're at home with the kids,

89
00:03:50,320 --> 00:03:52,720
Speaker 1: they're behaving themselves. They're part of the family. Do they

90
00:03:52,720 --> 00:03:54,480
Speaker 1: sit up at the dinner table and eat as well,

91
00:03:54,560 --> 00:03:55,120
Speaker 1: Riley or what?

92
00:03:55,320 --> 00:03:59,360
Speaker 3: They never tell me that when they do that. But

93
00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:01,600
Speaker 3: that's one of the unofficial things.

94
00:04:01,600 --> 00:04:05,160
Speaker 1: But oh, does Steve Maker is it? Does Steve make

95
00:04:05,240 --> 00:04:08,400
Speaker 1: the dogs have to really behave themselves in not a lot.

96
00:04:10,360 --> 00:04:12,520
Speaker 3: I think it's more about worrying about what handlers they're

97
00:04:12,520 --> 00:04:14,320
Speaker 3: worrying about the dogs. The dogs very easy, but when

98
00:04:14,360 --> 00:04:16,880
Speaker 3: it comes to personalities it becomes a bit difficult.

99
00:04:17,080 --> 00:04:19,159
Speaker 1: How big a boost is it going to be for

100
00:04:19,279 --> 00:04:21,960
Speaker 1: the Northern Territory Police Force though, in all honesty to

101
00:04:22,040 --> 00:04:25,480
Speaker 1: have these two police dogs be able to graduate and

102
00:04:25,520 --> 00:04:28,080
Speaker 1: get out there fighting crime. And then, like you said,

103
00:04:28,120 --> 00:04:30,960
Speaker 1: you've got two more puppies that are coming to the NT.

104
00:04:31,680 --> 00:04:33,520
Speaker 1: There are they drags, these babies as well.

105
00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:34,040
Speaker 3: They are.

106
00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:36,160
Speaker 2: Indeed, Jesus's been busy.

107
00:04:37,240 --> 00:04:39,599
Speaker 3: You can imagine what he's been up to. That's what

108
00:04:39,640 --> 00:04:41,080
Speaker 3: I mean. He's got to have some fun time and

109
00:04:41,080 --> 00:04:42,520
Speaker 3: he's down time and that's what he's.

110
00:04:42,360 --> 00:04:42,760
Speaker 1: Been up to.

111
00:04:42,839 --> 00:04:45,200
Speaker 3: But no, we're all good. Look, it's really really exciting,

112
00:04:45,279 --> 00:04:47,120
Speaker 3: especially for the people in all the springs because this

113
00:04:47,200 --> 00:04:49,320
Speaker 3: is probably going to be the first time for a

114
00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:51,880
Speaker 3: while that they're going to have three operational portrayal dogs.

115
00:04:52,520 --> 00:04:56,279
Speaker 3: We've got another handler in Ella Springs, Adam Donaldson, who's

116
00:04:56,440 --> 00:05:00,560
Speaker 3: training Obie at the moment, and pretty much by in

117
00:05:00,600 --> 00:05:03,320
Speaker 3: the next couple of months as well, he'll be operational.

118
00:05:03,360 --> 00:05:05,960
Speaker 3: So there should be three fully operational dogs in Olla Springs.

119
00:05:06,440 --> 00:05:09,920
Speaker 3: And as you can see the chap beside me as well,

120
00:05:09,960 --> 00:05:13,960
Speaker 3: he's got es dudes is undergoing his training. He hasn't

121
00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:20,200
Speaker 3: come along as quick as maybe the others, but I'm

122
00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:22,240
Speaker 3: fairly confident that he will get across the board and

123
00:05:22,279 --> 00:05:25,120
Speaker 3: then mud Crabb will end up coming on board.

124
00:05:26,480 --> 00:05:28,880
Speaker 1: Mud Crab is another police officer that's standing in the

125
00:05:28,880 --> 00:05:31,119
Speaker 1: studio and trying his best to not have to stand

126
00:05:31,160 --> 00:05:34,520
Speaker 1: next to a microphone. Hey, now, tell me in terms

127
00:05:34,640 --> 00:05:38,279
Speaker 1: of the work that these well that the two most

128
00:05:38,360 --> 00:05:43,400
Speaker 1: recent JAX and AX, have they been involved in some

129
00:05:43,520 --> 00:05:46,839
Speaker 1: different incidents recently as well? I know that they're still

130
00:05:46,839 --> 00:05:49,200
Speaker 1: obviously graduating, but as there's some work that they've been

131
00:05:49,240 --> 00:05:51,520
Speaker 1: involved in recently that our listeners might be aware of

132
00:05:51,720 --> 00:05:53,120
Speaker 1: or know a bit about.

133
00:05:53,680 --> 00:05:54,880
Speaker 2: No, not really really.

134
00:05:55,200 --> 00:05:58,120
Speaker 3: What's happened is we've gone through all the let's say,

135
00:05:58,120 --> 00:06:01,039
Speaker 3: the classroom and in in house train and now it's

136
00:06:01,360 --> 00:06:03,800
Speaker 3: time for them to graduate and then step out in

137
00:06:03,839 --> 00:06:08,200
Speaker 3: the street. And they'll still do that as a apprenticeship phase,

138
00:06:08,279 --> 00:06:10,760
Speaker 3: so to speak, so they will be introduced slowly into

139
00:06:10,760 --> 00:06:13,640
Speaker 3: certain situations before they tackle some serious crooks.

140
00:06:13,760 --> 00:06:15,640
Speaker 1: Do you get them one of those special hats that

141
00:06:15,640 --> 00:06:17,360
Speaker 1: they get to graduate.

142
00:06:16,920 --> 00:06:18,600
Speaker 3: Here, I'll get them whatever they need.

143
00:06:20,520 --> 00:06:23,000
Speaker 2: You bought you brought me in a bloddy pooh bag
