WEBVTT

00:00.140 --> 00:03.110
I'm Emma to Brendan clunky uh , U . S .

00:03.110 --> 00:05.730
Navy with the 87th military working dog

00:05.730 --> 00:07.060
unit here at JB MDL .

00:11.540 --> 00:13.940
As a military working dog handler . We

00:13.940 --> 00:16.162
support the mission on the installation

00:16.200 --> 00:18.760
looking for whether narcotics or

00:18.760 --> 00:22.480
explosives training our M WDS everyday

00:22.560 --> 00:24.890
in those uh other detection problems

00:24.890 --> 00:28.200
and as well as obedience and health and

00:28.200 --> 00:29.256
care of the dogs .

00:32.450 --> 00:35.230
We all go to the school and like one to

00:35.230 --> 00:37.930
become working dog handlers . So uh ,

00:37.940 --> 00:39.996
it's kind of cool when you come to a

00:39.996 --> 00:42.162
counter facility like this , we get to

00:42.162 --> 00:44.107
meet up with another branch and uh

00:44.107 --> 00:46.162
learn from everyone and may have the

00:46.162 --> 00:48.051
same techniques and training uh ,

00:48.051 --> 00:50.162
solutions or we might learn something

00:50.162 --> 00:52.329
new that we haven't seen yet . So it's

00:52.329 --> 00:54.329
a cool environment . At the end , I

00:54.329 --> 00:56.551
wanted to become a military working dog

00:56.551 --> 00:58.662
handler . It canines in general are a

00:58.662 --> 01:00.773
passion of mine has to be specific on

01:00.773 --> 01:02.884
an animal . Had a lot of friends that

01:02.884 --> 01:04.996
were canine and saw the passion , the

01:04.996 --> 01:07.162
job satisfaction that came behind it ,

01:07.162 --> 01:09.218
uh not knowing anything about it . I

01:09.218 --> 01:11.440
got to go to a kennel and experience at

01:11.450 --> 01:13.760
first hand and it was extremely

01:13.760 --> 01:15.704
intoxicating . It was an area , an

01:15.704 --> 01:17.871
environment that I wanted to be around

01:17.871 --> 01:20.240
and would do anything to be in it . And

01:20.240 --> 01:22.462
was fortunate enough to be able to have

01:22.462 --> 01:24.684
a physician in the job and go to school

01:24.684 --> 01:27.890
some super appreciative about it . It's

01:27.890 --> 01:30.030
said that a dog is supposed to be one

01:30.030 --> 01:31.974
level above the handler . Uh to me

01:31.974 --> 01:34.360
being an Emmy to uh my dog is an M . A .

01:34.360 --> 01:36.680
One that he would outrank me . That's

01:36.690 --> 01:38.579
said to be like that . So there's

01:38.579 --> 01:42.160
always a respect towards your dog . As

01:42.160 --> 01:45.890
of now I am Eagles primary handler with

01:45.900 --> 01:48.650
his previous handler now leaving . So I

01:48.650 --> 01:51.730
would uh let's start working with MWD

01:51.740 --> 01:54.620
uh to learn what different training

01:54.630 --> 01:56.741
techniques that everyone was teaching

01:56.741 --> 01:59.310
him . And he's the most fun loving dog ,

01:59.320 --> 02:01.970
wants to work . It's hard not to want

02:01.970 --> 02:04.137
to be around him . He's a great dog to

02:04.137 --> 02:04.450
be with .
