00:34So now we're going to work on the police dog

00:36on a police situation

00:38where an armed individual comes out

00:40and violates our meeting

00:42so my job is going to be to neutralize my dog

00:44to neutralize the individual

00:46and that the intervention goes well

00:48for my dog and for me

00:50I'm going to see my dog!

01:12Come on baby!

01:28So the reward system

01:30for us

01:32currently in the course of training

01:34it's going to be

01:36a lot of caressing

01:38it's going to be intonation

01:40the dog is super sensitive to intonation

01:42so it's going to be little words

01:44little encouraging words

01:46it's going to be

01:48even taking time with his dog

01:50to roll on the ground

01:52to scratch him

01:54it's all those little moments

01:56to congratulate him

02:08So now we are going to work

02:10the dogs in collective excitation

02:12so the dogs are going to be arranged

02:14in different ways, in line or face to face

02:16so a virulent individual

02:18is going to go in the middle

02:20and we are going to make the dogs work by mimicry

02:26Attack!

02:28Attack!

02:30Attack!

02:32Attack!

02:34Attack!

02:36The goal of the exercise

02:38is to get the dogs together

02:40to make noise

02:42things that could impress them individually

02:44but because they all work together

02:46it's a collective emulation

02:48so we can go a little bit further

02:50Sit!

02:52Place!

02:54Yeah!

02:58With Maiko

03:00when we first met

03:02there was an alchemy

03:04between us

03:06we immediately appreciated each other

03:08and it's true that the dog at the beginning

03:10was quite distant because he didn't know me

03:12and in the first weeks

03:14we quickly got closer

03:16and it's true that we form a

03:18we get along very well
