00:04.139 --> 00:06.195
Today with the military working dogs

00:06.195 --> 00:08.250
we're showcasing their unique skills

00:08.250 --> 00:07.840
and capabilities . We're starting off

00:07.840 --> 00:09.840
the day with a ruck , a 2 mile ruck

00:09.840 --> 00:11.960
with 35 pounds and helmets on . The

00:11.960 --> 00:13.904
dogs go along with us . After that

00:13.904 --> 00:15.793
we're going directly into a K9TCC

00:15.793 --> 00:17.960
scenario , so just making sure that we

00:17.960 --> 00:20.127
have all the tools and capabilities to

00:20.127 --> 00:22.016
save the dogs in any case of life

00:22.016 --> 00:24.016
threatening immediate injuries that

00:24.016 --> 00:23.799
they may succumb . After that we're

00:23.799 --> 00:25.577
gonna be going into . Detection

00:25.577 --> 00:27.743
competitions for the explosive dogs as

00:27.743 --> 00:29.743
well as the narcotics dogs and then

00:29.743 --> 00:31.855
it's gonna be the obedience portion .

00:31.855 --> 00:33.855
So how well does that dog listen to

00:33.855 --> 00:33.650
commands how well can they

00:33.979 --> 00:36.201
differentiate between what they want to

00:36.201 --> 00:38.312
do versus what the handler wants them

00:38.312 --> 00:40.312
to do so we're doing things that we

00:40.312 --> 00:42.035
train for every day we're just

00:42.035 --> 00:44.257
elevating them to a higher level , uh ,

00:44.257 --> 00:46.479
for the spirit of competition . We like

00:46.479 --> 00:48.423
to do demos . It keeps people well

00:48.423 --> 00:50.423
informed of the capabilities of our

00:50.423 --> 00:52.646
working dogs . It's just a great way to

00:52.646 --> 00:52.029
bring together the community .

00:52.119 --> 00:54.119
Everybody loves dogs . These dogs ,

00:54.119 --> 00:56.341
they're great assets , but they're also

00:56.341 --> 00:58.175
living creatures . Being able to

00:58.175 --> 01:00.341
showcase the dog's capabilities to the

01:00.341 --> 01:02.452
public is part of the mission that we

01:02.452 --> 01:04.397
do . The standards that we have in

01:04.397 --> 01:06.508
place for our dogs are very high , so

01:06.508 --> 01:08.563
being able to show that our dogs are

01:08.563 --> 01:10.619
trained to this level , it makes the

01:10.619 --> 01:10.339
mission worthwhile .
