00:03.796 --> 00:05.651
(dog pants)

00:05.651 --> 00:06.568
- Good boy.

00:10.286 --> 00:12.778
- My name is Staff Sergeant Matthew Clark.

00:12.778 --> 00:14.965
I'm from the 374 Security Forces Squadron

00:14.965 --> 00:16.498
Military Working Dogs section. (dog barks)

00:16.498 --> 00:18.194
I'm the military working dog trainer here.

00:18.194 --> 00:19.916
(dog barks) What we're doing
today is water aggression.

00:19.916 --> 00:20.849
(dog barks)

00:20.849 --> 00:23.470
Uh, the purpose of this
training is to ensure that

00:23.470 --> 00:26.537
our dogs can go after any
threat in any environment

00:26.537 --> 00:28.917
and water is (dog barks)

00:28.917 --> 00:30.310
one of those environments that the dogs

00:30.310 --> 00:32.214
really are not comfortable
with. (dog barks)

00:32.214 --> 00:35.917
So, you'll see a lot of
our dogs they will be

00:35.917 --> 00:38.650
apprehensive about jumping
directly into the water

00:38.650 --> 00:40.678
to go after the threat so this training

00:40.678 --> 00:42.929
should alleviate a lot of that.

00:42.929 --> 00:45.762
(water splashing)

00:45.977 --> 00:48.196
We conduct this type of training because

00:48.196 --> 00:51.897
it adds a different element
to the training experience,

00:51.897 --> 00:55.813
provides a realistic
environment and more realistic

00:55.813 --> 00:59.401
training for the dogs and
for the handlers as well.

00:59.401 --> 01:02.318
(man commands dog)

01:05.103 --> 01:07.436
(man yells)

01:08.785 --> 01:09.958
(water splashes)

01:09.958 --> 01:12.461
This is more statement
training for the dogs

01:12.461 --> 01:14.242
and for the handlers as well.

01:14.242 --> 01:16.746
So the dogs get used
to it and get used to a

01:16.746 --> 01:19.142
different environment and they get used to

01:19.142 --> 01:21.807
a different experience
while doing the same

01:21.807 --> 01:23.100
job that we have.

01:23.100 --> 01:27.280
(metal gate closes) Let's go home.
