Not a military dog but my hound has eye and ear pro, his goggles are mostly just for a little extra when he’s in the woods and as a bonus just to look cool but his ear pro is simply for going to the gun range or whenever he’s around gunfire, but I’m hoping to start tracking and scent work with him soon so having that bit of protection for rough tracks will be good, he also wears shoes and thick leather collars for protection (and they look nice) but having a thick collar like that has actually protected him from a few bites from other animals
@flipnshifty It could be both, or neither but the truth is that working dogs are not robots and have individual personalities. Some dogs are just assholes, and some love the reaction they get when they scare ppl. For the most part, if you were meeting an aggressive dog for the first time, you'd just hang outside of the cage for a little bit and slowly introduce yourself, while gaining their trust and respect and then enter the cage when your both comfortable.
@@poloplatinum74 "Some dogs are just assholes" No, if the dog is aggressive or disobedient it's always the handler or owners fault. A dog who gets enough exercise and gets their social and resting needs met will just be a well behaved dog. The only valid reason is the dog having PTSD and consequently biting because the leash triggers the traumatic experience. If a miltitary dog has aggression problems its being (or was) overworked, or traumatized from the work. Atleast thats my take for now, maybe someone can change my mind.
When I trained service puppies the cutest thing I learned is that the dogs have to want to work. Mine was a bit lazy so he got retired to his handlers house lol. He just wanted to play and get pets 😅😅
It’s so sad how he describes his K9s though - it really is just work and they really don’t have much of a real bond. I can’t imagine having to part with a dog after having it for years, yet he just casually talks about how his last dog retired with some random family. I really hate how dogs are used for military and police. They don’t deserve it. They truly innocent beings that aren’t able to consent to giving up their lives or undergo great bodily harm that disables them for life and/or causes chronic pain for the rest of their life. 😢
@@anti-ethniccleansing465 This is why they use WORKING dog breeds. Service dogs, seeing eye dogs, etc...spend their puppy years with families where they bond with the people in household, then they move to a trading facility, where they bond with their trainers, then they get placed with their person, where they bond with the person they help. The way dogs bond is different than the way humans bond. Stop assigning human behavior and emotions to non-human animals.
@@anti-ethniccleansing465 these breeds are highly intelligent and meant to be constantly engaged so I would not be surprised if they love being police dogs
Megan Leavey is a very under rated film. A side note the Team dog Cerberus in Seal Team is a real Police dog out of Indiana. His handler is the actor Justin Melnick. Her real name is Dita The Hair Missile.
THIS is an awesome ratings angle... With humans, you could "well, Bob should have pulled right, and the green screen...". But with dogs, there's a huge "connected disconnection" between "movie", "stunt", and "real". The dog is moving on its own based on training and commands, it doesn't know it's in a movie. It's ON IT. No stunt guy pulling a punch. ❤❤❤
There are some dogs that certainly know when they are putting on a performance. They might not understand that they are being filmed, but are very much aware that everyone around is watching them and expecting them to execute what they have trained as well as possible. And the best acting dogs are excited to show what they can do.
@@Yora21 - agreed! In my "oh wow" excitement I was thinking about how it would be to put a primary military dog in a situation like this. I should have qualified it. 🤪
this is why is disagree with PETA when they say you shouldn't put real animals in movies and use CGI instead. you should never force an animal to do this stuff, but some really do enjoy and have a lot of fun acting.
My aunt’s job after her military service was to work with army dog handler’s division to help find homes for the dogs who couldn’t make it through training. Some dogs just don’t have the right personality for it. Some are just big old goofballs. So her job was to arrange to get them into loving foster homes so they could be adopted out instead of put into shelters. Where she was REALLY cared about every single puppy that came into training whether they went the distance or not.
@@anti-ethniccleansing465 My aunt said that the dogs in training were treated very VERY well if it makes you feel better. She is a MASSIVE animal lover. If the dogs were being treated badly at the base she was at she would have immediately quit and made a huge stink about it to the government. She is pretty high ranking in her military branch. She more than likely could get a meeting at minimum to issue a big complaint. Again I am not saying at all they are treated perfectly at every base but at the base she was employed at, they were treated with positive reinforcement only and love.
@@allshookup1640 I don’t think my point was received. My point is that dogs are not able to give consent to their risk to great bodily harm or death on the job, and it is really inexcusable that humans exploit their innocence to use them for our needs.
Same with guide dogs for the blind. Only about 40% finish training to graduate to work with a blind person. Of those who don't graduate some can be used as a service dog for a sighted person, others are good pets.
My Aussie, basic obedience training. Very smart. A drunk guy showed up unannounced, loud and aggressive. I didnt know him, he was at the wrong house. He took one step toward me, and my male aussie jumped in front of me and snapped loudly into his crotch. It was a warning. The guy cried out, "Your dog almost bit me!!!" I quietly said "Don't move and I'll put him up. But if you do move, he *will* definitely bite you!" I never gave my dog any command. He did what he did on his own instincts alone. That boy always had my six.
Mit untrainierten Hunden lassen sich solche Szenarien nicht simulieren, da der Hund umgehend sieht und riecht, das zwar was komisch ist, aber seine Bezugsperson keine richtige Angst verspürt. Ist die Situation jedoch real, wird aus nahezu allen Hunden ein guter Wächter, der zwar frei heraus selbst entscheidet was er tut, aber dies beruhigt einen ungemein, wenn man weiß das Wauzi einem bereitwillig hilft.
This guy really has a very different view on dogs than the military. He was going to say the military views dogs as expandable but picked much more tactful phrasing instead. He cares about the dogs and views the dogs he worked with as fellow brothers in arms, you can see him get very emotional from the clip where the handler and dog get hit by an IED.
Pet dog training here: It would make no sense to me that the military would view dogs as expendable. It costs tens of thousands of dollars to train a military dog. Those dogs are absolutely precious assets. However, when it comes to how the dog is used, there will be situations where the dog is used to keep people safe and that inherently puts the dog at risk for a number of reasons. They will do what they can to limit those risks, but the top priority will be to preserve human life as it should be.
@@inwe1205 Are you saying that the military's top priority shouldn't be to bring the troops home safely? If it was my son, husband, brother, father... who was lost in combat and I learned that they could have deployed a K9 and saved his life, being upset about the situation would be an understatement. All I'm saying is the reason the military uses K9s is because it saves human lives, and sometimes unfortunately that means losing the K9. Of course the officers will try to do everything they can not to let that happen. The dogs aren't expendable, but they do go into some really dangerous situations which is why they are there in the first place.
@@snubblebubble4937 that was a long way to say that the dogs are expendendable unlike a human life they'll send dogs in where its to dangerous KNOWING it would be high risk I'm not saying this is a bad thing but lets not act like that's not what they're there for 😂
I find the comment about switching from the german shepherd to the belgian malinois in part due to the size interesting. The shepherd used to be quite a bit smaller, similar to the malinois. It was in part the demand for military and guard dogs being larger that led to the shepherd being bred larger.
The Malinois used to be a lot smaller than what's commonly found now. The Malinois is smaller, more athletic, has more stamina, and is more intelligent. For what the U.S. military does these days (and for the past 22 years) the Malinois is the better choice. Having a 70lb dog attached to you is easier than having a 90lb dog attached. GSDs are still badass. I think they look more intimidating than Malinois.
Incorrect. German Shepherds were over 100 pounds before a written blueprint (aka breed standard) was even created as they were living fences for sheep. The breed has since been bred smaller. What you have to realize is today's military & law enforcement carry more equipment than before - so to carry all the equipment plus a dog - wouldn't a 45-pound dog be easier than an 85-pound dog?
@user-dh4um4qi7h except for there being no evidence (that I can find) of German shepherds being that large when the breed was codified from 1 specific family of dogs in the 1890s. Additionally, working herd dogs (what they were originally bred from) are not meant to be a "fence" to the sheep, but to use the sheep's instinctive reactions to preditors to move the sheep around. No herding breed is very large, since the larger the dog the harder it has to work just to move, reducing its endurance. Every breed still commonly used for herding is smaller, like the border collie. The German sheep herding communities dwindled in numbers not long after the breed was created, which was also when various kennel clubs were codifying dog breeds. It was since then, especially during various wars (ww1 and ww2 in particular), that the breed increased in size. There has been an increase in the weight the average soldier carries, though dogs frequently are able to move themselves most of the time. There are dogs used to protect animals, called livestock guardian dogs as a general term. Those are intended to ward off preditors, but are not generally used to herd the animals as that wasn't the point of them being there. Those breeds are often quite a bit larger
@@patrickdix772 The German Shepherd Dog wasn't exhibited in conformation show until 1882 in Hanover, Germany....herding dogs have existed since ancient times....
Great advice and review. I adopted a "Labrador retriever" as a puppy from the SPCA. Got it home and it's ears stood up and for a year I couldn't understand why he wasn't like a German shepherd. Turns out through DNA he's a Belgian malonois ! Now that I know he is getting much better with extra exercise and understanding. ❤
Police and military doggos are amazing. Our EOD guys, while demining the north of Chile, used doggos to help them clear it. Even the "attack" doggos are super friendly, if you pet them they just lick your face with the tail waggling all around. All it took was 1 word from the handler to make the cuddly, adorable piece of fur into a laser-guided missile fur.
most service dogs have a switch that flips when they get their work vest/gear on. i got a aunt that has a dog who is also trained as an official service dog. without her vest she is like any big (goofy) dog that still thinks she is a lapdog but the moment you put her service vest on she goes into work mode and acts like you would expect for a service dog to act.
Many years ago i met a British Army dog handler who said that his dog, when off duty was a family pet, his kids would play with him and go for walks and he`d be a goofy doggo, but once that chest harness went on then the dog knew it was time to go to work and then he was all business
Finally we get an expert in his field ok with giving credit where it’s due and not coming off as THE definitive professional whose seen it all\ done it all and every thing is bad except there own experience PLEASE have him back a genuine breath of un pompous air
SEAL Team as a show has a pretty fantastic and strict commitment to realism. Their original dog was a police dog handled by a real military veteran ex cop. A lot of the lesser team members are real ex-military, even real ex-special forces (but no SEALs as far as I know). Their main jobs are really being realism consultants, not actors.
@@Leith_Crowther Yeah, the show has a great combat and realism standpoint when it comes to military action scenes. The show fails at the homeland drama stuff, which is necessary for the full picture but too hollywood cliche imo.
That was a fair bit of commentary, and all very no-nonsense I bet you have a good rapport with dogs or clients / dog owners as you come across very calm. Like nothing would send you into a panic, amazing quiet strength coming off you, in a good way (sorry, no native speaker)
Lol your English is better than mine! (But seriously though, you're doing a great job as a non-native speaker. English sucks - the only reason I speak it is because it's the only language I know :))
As someone with multiple shepherds and a malinois with ptsd. The Dog scene was pretty on point. Finn, my malinois, has her issues and we work with her on them, but I also accept and understand her issues and that helps greatly. I adopted her knowing we would need to work together. I also knew I needed to be the rock for her and thus needed the confidence to gain her trust and respect. Dogs are amazing, they just need the right owner who understands them and is dedicated to fulfilling the needs of that breed.
Thank you for your service. This was so informative and Terry is very impressive with his knowledge behind his details given. Hi Tiny!!! I enjoyed the rating.
I wanted to point that out too, but didn't know if it would be rude. The movie clearly showed that Sam was a companion animal (Robert has her at the beginning as a puppy) and wasn't specifically trained for any military purpose. Even in the clip they showed, he was calling her to retreat while he was dragging himself back. I don't know if they just wanted to include that to add variety and a low score to the mix, but Sam was never established as a military dog and it feels a little harsh to judge her like she was one.
what a lovely video. Those reviews from specialists are my favorite content... and including dogs, couldn't be better. Hope to see a part 2 with Terry and Tiny
It depends. Humans are animals. Dogs are animals. Some animals get the same problems and need the same solutions as human animals. I give my dog 50 mg of Benadryl every night for hay fever. I use to crush potassium phosphate pills I got from CVS for my cat due to a kidney issue. Did that for over 10 years. Just make sure you check before giving any pet human medicine.
My rescue Australian cattle dog had ptsd. We had to get rid of anything flyswatter like and couldn’t toss laundry anywhere around him. He didn’t need meds but lifestyle changes by us and also he needed to be in constant contact with me or the kids if he was triggered. When he got old he couldn’t be away from me for even a few minutes and the kids babysat him if I went to the store. Prozac made his anxiety worse so dogs also have undesirable side effects from meds. His cheaper pain medication were human meds but the fancy expensive stuff was dog only. He made it to over 21 and was the best dog ever with a decent amount of resilience to cope with his trauma but definitely never got over the flyswatter thing until the day he died(when he was old I had to constantly put towels under him so he was triggered by that at times).
Animals, especially mammals, can get similar mental health issues to humans. If you see an animal circling its enclosure or bobbing its head in a zoo, that's a sign of a mental health issue.
crazy to find terry on youtube, being a local to me. im sending my lab to him for a 3 week obidience training and boarding service and this makes me even more confident of his capabilities. seems like a great guy cant wait to meet him and see how he can make my dog great.
@stefaniealex6775 yeah that's what I was thinking. They shoulda showed clips where Will's character had him go in to rooms/buildings to sniff around and let him know it was safe.
I like that he takes this seriously but is careful with his wording around how the military uses dogs as “disposable” tools to protect human life. It can be a difficult conversation talking about how they are used and you can see it in his voice
It is also documented (None Came Home by John E O'Donnell and A Soldier's Best Friend by John Bernam) that most of the military dogs that survived their service in Vietnam were abandoned when the U.S. pulled out. Until Clinton signed Robby’s Law (H.R.5314) in 2000, retired military dogs were considered “surplus equipment" and it was common practice to euthanize them.
I would think the military wouldn't send a dog into harm's way without a pretty good tactical reason. As the guy mentioned, it would probably get shot pretty quickly. No doubt a lot of hours go into training those dogs! I bet they are used for tracking and detection far more than "restraint."
Wow, such a great video! The level of detail the speaker provides is amazing! Also, it's so great that you provide text and video explanations of terms and situations mentioned! This video gets a 10/10 from me! Very informative!
in the "Dog" clip, I'd add that you wouldn't approach an unknown / possibly traumatised / with possible agression issues dog upfront if you're not in front of a military trained dog. You CAN definitely do it slowly (I'd recommend it, but I'm a civilian behaviourist, not a military trained one, so the military training is definitely a factor for those dogs, i. e. they are probably more used to the military way of approaching them with confidence). The most important thing in dogs with phobia (I'm talking about civilian dogs here ^^ ), is that you don't want to trigger a fear (attack) response, so you'll want to approach them "from the side" and slowly (while watching also slightly to the side, yawning can also be a big help, the dog will understand you're not a threat to him most of the time). Speaking in a soothing tone is right, but crouching so close to them is a big no no (crouching is good, but doing it further from them is better). You don't want your face smack dab in front of that muzzle, even when the bite is restricted, them dogs can pack a punch ^^ I've worked a few times with military trainers here in France, and the work they do is absolutely fabulous, but people really have to remember that training such dogs is very far from what we do with "pets" (since our goals are so far apart)
Mr. Adams seems to be such a humble, competent man. Who knows, what he and his dogs have experienced during deployment. Sometimes, his smile would shine through and one could see how much he admired or loved a specific dog.
First time viewer. Excellent video. I’ve seen some of the movies featured. I agree Meagan Leavey was excellent. John Wick 3 is one of my current faves! Fun fact: Keanu does as many of his own stunts as they will allow. He’s had extensive training in guns and fighting, and also has many bikes.
What I love about “vicious” dogs in movies is that 99% of the time the dog actor is just living their best life and having a great time! They have to CGI out their tails or lightly tie them down because the sweet pups are wagging them like crazy because they are having fun. A lot of the time to make them lunge or jump, their handler is standing off camera with a treat or a toy to make them excited. They jump on someone who subtly hands them a treat and gives them kisses between takes. You can tell most of the time if you understand dog body language that dog actors are usually very chill during scenes or just excited. VERY rarely will the dog actually look aggressive or scary body language wise and when they do it is usually due to effects added or makeup like blood matting the fur. Dog actors are just happy to be there and happy to Have a new friend to play with most of the time
I got busted at Dulles by a beagle. No bark just sat next to me. Thinking i may have a way out of this, i turned to give him scritches and tell him hes a good boi. "DON'T TOUCH THE DOG, SIR." That was the 90s, but everything this guy is saying holds true in my experience.
@@anti-ethniccleansing465 They didn't find the little bit of hash I had stashed in my underwear, after several VIGOROUS frisks. (I was so nervous I kept asking to go to the bathroom, so glad I didn't.) What *_was_* a surprise was the huge lump (of the same) that I thought I had lost on vacation, but was in the deep corner of my jeans pocket in the suitcase they tossed _hard_. I was in the frisking/questions room for so long they started basically giving me reasons why the dog would have alerted on me. "Have you been around people who were using drugs recently?" (lightbulb flickers) YES! YES!! I WAS AT A RAVE LAST NIGHT! All my friends are felonious party animals! They let me go, and I found the massive hash ball in my jeans a week later. It was better than a surprise $100 in the laundry. A beagle took 10 years off my life.
@@anti-ethniccleansing465 I had been to Holland, and got some killer incense. I was afraid someone would covet my incense and so I hid a small amount in my underwear. For safekeeping. When the beagle sent me to secondary (inspection, I grew up in a border town) I was *_thoroughly_* frisked multiple times. I was so scared they'd find my awesome air flavor, I asked repeatedly to go to the bathroom. Thank God I they didn't let me. So, this beagle LOVES INCENSE. And he told them where to find some. After my suitcase and basically salad was tossed, the uniforms started essentially giving me reasons why I'd have gotten the doggos attention. Have you been around anyone who DJs? Anyone who is a fan of reggae? Yessir!! At a rave last night! Yup! Party animals, the lot of them. So they let me go. A week later I found a golf ball sized hunk of incense in my deep corner jeans pocket. I thought I'd lost it on vacation. It was in that suitcase. It was 10x what I had in my shorts. It was like finding a $100 bill in the laundry. Still scared of beagles.
This is one of the most interesting reports I have ever seen on youtube. It is very well explained by a very experienced guy when it comes to dog handling. Congratulations! PS: I love dogs especially my white swiss shepherd❤.
My family adopted 2 police dog retireese. One german shepard and one Mailnoise. They were some of teh sweetest and happy boys I have ever had the luck to meet. You could feel that tehy were appreciative of any moment and they really just perked up every time we went out of the house to meet them. What a great video.
This is incredible. I think a lot more animals are more intelligent than we give them credit for. A lack of oral communication does not automatically mean "dumb".
Since you got NCIS in there, I'd now like to see what he would think of that NCIS episode where apparently they swapped out a drug-sniffer dog (owned by the Navy) with an attack dog and used that dog to frame a dog attack on a fellow drug-sniffer dog
I have 3 Belgians and a Pitbull all trained in protection and search and rescue, really it should be mentioned that this breed doesn't always make the best FAMILY pet though.. I can't tell you how many calls my husband and I have gotten to take a dog because the family cannot handle training and what this breed entails. They see them in the movies, think it's cool, get a puppy, then suddenly end up with a destructive and unmanageable dog their trying to rehome, my husband and I are starting to see more and more Belgian Mals in the humane society's with euthanasia tags. BTW.. I'm currently training a Weimaraner, for scent detection and I have to say, I'm so impressed with this breed and their ability to think and reason!!! I can't figure out why they aren't used more often..
The Belgian Malenois is a great working dog. I got to see German Shepards in action over there. But, the Malenois is on a different level athletically. In addition, it is one of the most intuitive dogs you can encounter. Mine learned his responsibilities as a service dog at a very young age. He has been with me since my separation from service.
The movie dog was a tearjerker. I actually recommend you watch that it will give a little bit of backstory on the dog and the character of the handler.
As plenty of others have already noted, the dog and hander from SEAL Team are real partners. They're both former K9 cops that worked together. In one of the behind-the-scenes things, they said the biggest "fictional" part is that he gives the dog commands in another language (I can't remember if it was German or not), so when you see him give commands in English (such as the "Cerberus, left!" command in this clip), that was just for the camera/audience.
My partner is a retired search rescue recovery k9 handler. The stuff the dogs could do was just amazing. I used to love 'bodying' for them to train. The dogs were trained bark to alert. We had Australian Kelpies. Dogs are just so freaking amazing creatures. I swear my partner and our girl had their own language on searches.
Very good video. When I joined the Air Force, I was a security police man. They offered us the opportunity to get dog handler training. This was during the Vietnam war. I declined due to my interaction with dogs growing up. I was later assigned with a guy who was a handler who had returned from Thailand and Vietnam. He shared many stories of his time over thefd. Now that I think about it, that may have been why he drank so much.
Back in the day US Army I trained Sentry Attack Dogs, and my dog was named Ugly, real vicious german shepard, these dogs was well trained for tracking down terrorist, they are Great Dogs to help in the tracking process, but when you are first meeting the dog it was while the dog was in a cage, so that the dog could get familar with its handler, never did the instructors allow the handler to meet the dog in the open, so that they would not get injured by the dog.
This was great, clear reasoning behind the scores. Those working dogs are brilliant, better trained than the actors!(and in a lot of cases better looking)😂❤️❤️

If it's a dog just for show then yes, but a trained dog won't even flinch at the sound of a gunshot. A test of nerves and soundness
THIS is an awesome ratings angle... With humans, you could "well, Bob should have pulled right, and the green screen...". But with dogs, there's a huge "connected disconnection" between "movie", "stunt", and "real". The dog is moving on its own based on training and commands, it doesn't know it's in a movie. It's ON IT. No stunt guy pulling a punch. ❤❤❤
There are some dogs that certainly know when they are putting on a performance.
They might not understand that they are being filmed, but are very much aware that everyone around is watching them and expecting them to execute what they have trained as well as possible. And the best acting dogs are excited to show what they can do.
@@Yora21 - agreed! In my "oh wow" excitement I was thinking about how it would be to put a primary military dog in a situation like this. I should have qualified it. 🤪
@@Yora21 The dog from "The Thing" was 100% acting and doing an awesome job at it!
this is why is disagree with PETA when they say you shouldn't put real animals in movies and use CGI instead. you should never force an animal to do this stuff, but some really do enjoy and have a lot of fun acting.
This guy is awesome! He needs to come back for a part 2.
Thanks for watching!
My aunt’s job after her military service was to work with army dog handler’s division to help find homes for the dogs who couldn’t make it through training. Some dogs just don’t have the right personality for it. Some are just big old goofballs. So her job was to arrange to get them into loving foster homes so they could be adopted out instead of put into shelters. Where she was REALLY cared about every single puppy that came into training whether they went the distance or not.
Those were the lucky ones, who failed out of training.
@@anti-ethniccleansing465 My aunt said that the dogs in training were treated very VERY well if it makes you feel better. She is a MASSIVE animal lover. If the dogs were being treated badly at the base she was at she would have immediately quit and made a huge stink about it to the government. She is pretty high ranking in her military branch. She more than likely could get a meeting at minimum to issue a big complaint. Again I am not saying at all they are treated perfectly at every base but at the base she was employed at, they were treated with positive reinforcement only and love.
@@allshookup1640
I don’t think my point was received. My point is that dogs are not able to give consent to their risk to great bodily harm or death on the job, and it is really inexcusable that humans exploit their innocence to use them for our needs.
That’s very heartwarming. ❤❤
Same with guide dogs for the blind. Only about 40% finish training to graduate to work with a blind person. Of those who don't graduate some can be used as a service dog for a sighted person, others are good pets.
My Aussie, basic obedience training. Very smart. A drunk guy showed up unannounced, loud and aggressive. I didnt know him, he was at the wrong house.
He took one step toward me, and my male aussie jumped in front of me and snapped loudly into his crotch. It was a warning. The guy cried out, "Your dog almost bit me!!!" I quietly said "Don't move and I'll put him up. But if you do move, he *will* definitely bite you!"
I never gave my dog any command. He did what he did on his own instincts alone. That boy always had my six.
I used to pet/house sit for families was surprised at how well aussies guard their homes. Even dogs mixed with an Aussie are great guard dogs.
Shepherds in general won't let anything happen to their herd, even if their herd is of humans.
Mit untrainierten Hunden lassen sich solche Szenarien nicht simulieren, da der Hund umgehend sieht und riecht, das zwar was komisch ist, aber seine Bezugsperson keine richtige Angst verspürt.
Ist die Situation jedoch real, wird aus nahezu allen Hunden ein guter Wächter, der zwar frei heraus selbst entscheidet was er tut, aber dies beruhigt einen ungemein, wenn man weiß das Wauzi einem bereitwillig hilft.
This guy really has a very different view on dogs than the military. He was going to say the military views dogs as expandable but picked much more tactful phrasing instead.
He cares about the dogs and views the dogs he worked with as fellow brothers in arms, you can see him get very emotional from the clip where the handler and dog get hit by an IED.
Pet dog training here:
It would make no sense to me that the military would view dogs as expendable. It costs tens of thousands of dollars to train a military dog. Those dogs are absolutely precious assets. However, when it comes to how the dog is used, there will be situations where the dog is used to keep people safe and that inherently puts the dog at risk for a number of reasons. They will do what they can to limit those risks, but the top priority will be to preserve human life as it should be.
@@snubblebubble4937 not as it should be. How freaking disrespectful is that??
@@inwe1205 Are you saying that the military's top priority shouldn't be to bring the troops home safely? If it was my son, husband, brother, father... who was lost in combat and I learned that they could have deployed a K9 and saved his life, being upset about the situation would be an understatement.
All I'm saying is the reason the military uses K9s is because it saves human lives, and sometimes unfortunately that means losing the K9. Of course the officers will try to do everything they can not to let that happen. The dogs aren't expendable, but they do go into some really dangerous situations which is why they are there in the first place.
@@inwe1205not disrespectful at all. It's sad to lose a dog. But losing a human being hurts more. And the dog doesn't have a family left behind.
@@snubblebubble4937 that was a long way to say that the dogs are expendendable unlike a human life they'll send dogs in where its to dangerous KNOWING it would be high risk I'm not saying this is a bad thing but lets not act like that's not what they're there for 😂
This was so interesting, I absolutely love dogs and really enjoyed Terry's take on these movie clips. Would love a part 2
Thanks for watching!
I find the comment about switching from the german shepherd to the belgian malinois in part due to the size interesting. The shepherd used to be quite a bit smaller, similar to the malinois. It was in part the demand for military and guard dogs being larger that led to the shepherd being bred larger.
The Malinois used to be a lot smaller than what's commonly found now. The Malinois is smaller, more athletic, has more stamina, and is more intelligent. For what the U.S. military does these days (and for the past 22 years) the Malinois is the better choice. Having a 70lb dog attached to you is easier than having a 90lb dog attached.
GSDs are still badass. I think they look more intimidating than Malinois.
Incorrect.
German Shepherds were over 100 pounds before a written blueprint (aka breed standard) was even created as they were living fences for sheep. The breed has since been bred smaller.
What you have to realize is today's military & law enforcement carry more equipment than before - so to carry all the equipment plus a dog - wouldn't a 45-pound dog be easier than an 85-pound dog?
@user-dh4um4qi7h except for there being no evidence (that I can find) of German shepherds being that large when the breed was codified from 1 specific family of dogs in the 1890s. Additionally, working herd dogs (what they were originally bred from) are not meant to be a "fence" to the sheep, but to use the sheep's instinctive reactions to preditors to move the sheep around. No herding breed is very large, since the larger the dog the harder it has to work just to move, reducing its endurance. Every breed still commonly used for herding is smaller, like the border collie. The German sheep herding communities dwindled in numbers not long after the breed was created, which was also when various kennel clubs were codifying dog breeds. It was since then, especially during various wars (ww1 and ww2 in particular), that the breed increased in size. There has been an increase in the weight the average soldier carries, though dogs frequently are able to move themselves most of the time.
There are dogs used to protect animals, called livestock guardian dogs as a general term. Those are intended to ward off preditors, but are not generally used to herd the animals as that wasn't the point of them being there. Those breeds are often quite a bit larger
@@patrickdix772 The German Shepherd Dog wasn't exhibited in conformation show until 1882 in Hanover, Germany....herding dogs have existed since ancient times....
@@titanium7992you are correct on the Mal being preferable due to size and agility. However, the GSD is still ranked higher on intelligence.
The movie "Dog" had some very unrealistic parts, but the way she trashed the vehicle is 100 percent accurate.
It's always cool to see Max get mentioned. The trainer I go to for classes was the one who bred the malinois' for the Max movie.
That’s so cool!
This video gets a 10/10 for Terry and Tiny!

Great advice and review. I adopted a "Labrador retriever" as a puppy from the SPCA. Got it home and it's ears stood up and for a year I couldn't understand why he wasn't like a German shepherd. Turns out through DNA he's a Belgian malonois ! Now that I know he is getting much better with extra exercise and understanding. ❤
I swear my Labrador retriever has Belgian malonois in him.
Our Malinois was listed as a German Shepherd/Husky mix.
Police and military doggos are amazing. Our EOD guys, while demining the north of Chile, used doggos to help them clear it. Even the "attack" doggos are super friendly, if you pet them they just lick your face with the tail waggling all around. All it took was 1 word from the handler to make the cuddly, adorable piece of fur into a laser-guided missile fur.
most service dogs have a switch that flips when they get their work vest/gear on. i got a aunt that has a dog who is also trained as an official service dog. without her vest she is like any big (goofy) dog that still thinks she is a lapdog but the moment you put her service vest on she goes into work mode and acts like you would expect for a service dog to act.
Many years ago i met a British Army dog handler who said that his dog, when off duty was a family pet, his kids would play with him and go for walks and he`d be a goofy doggo, but once that chest harness went on then the dog knew it was time to go to work and then he was all business

The SEAL Team gets a 10/10. I never thought I'd ever experience that 😅
SEAL Team as a show has a pretty fantastic and strict commitment to realism. Their original dog was a police dog handled by a real military veteran ex cop. A lot of the lesser team members are real ex-military, even real ex-special forces (but no SEALs as far as I know). Their main jobs are really being realism consultants, not actors.
Mark Semos who played TJ was a Seal
@@Leith_Crowther Yeah, the show has a great combat and realism standpoint when it comes to military action scenes. The show fails at the homeland drama stuff, which is necessary for the full picture but too hollywood cliche imo.
Spoiler alert
Which one was tj is he the guy who replaces clay and technically ray as bravo 2
Spoiler alert
Still hate that clay died only just finished the show and Spenser was my fav character in seal team
That was a fair bit of commentary, and all very no-nonsense
I bet you have a good rapport with dogs or clients / dog owners as you come across very calm. Like nothing would send you into a panic, amazing quiet strength coming off you, in a good way (sorry, no native speaker)
Lol your English is better than mine! (But seriously though, you're doing a great job as a non-native speaker. English sucks - the only reason I speak it is because it's the only language I know :))
As someone with multiple shepherds and a malinois with ptsd. The Dog scene was pretty on point. Finn, my malinois, has her issues and we work with her on them, but I also accept and understand her issues and that helps greatly. I adopted her knowing we would need to work together. I also knew I needed to be the rock for her and thus needed the confidence to gain her trust and respect. Dogs are amazing, they just need the right owner who understands them and is dedicated to fulfilling the needs of that breed.
Very interesting. And thank you for your service, both military and civilian. And a big thanks and a toy to your super pup!❤❤
I would give my life to protect my dog..best mate ever.
Thank you for your service. This was so informative and Terry is very impressive with his knowledge behind his details given. Hi Tiny!!! I enjoyed the rating.
In I am legend, he's actually not trying to get the dog to attack, rather the opposite. The dog only responds to the danger.
And also those dog, are zombie dog.
I wanted to point that out too, but didn't know if it would be rude. The movie clearly showed that Sam was a companion animal (Robert has her at the beginning as a puppy) and wasn't specifically trained for any military purpose. Even in the clip they showed, he was calling her to retreat while he was dragging himself back. I don't know if they just wanted to include that to add variety and a low score to the mix, but Sam was never established as a military dog and it feels a little harsh to judge her like she was one.
Sam as a loyal dog was just protecting it's master or dad. Maybe Terry didn't watch the film for the context or the clip was just misdirectional
what a lovely video. Those reviews from specialists are my favorite content... and including dogs, couldn't be better. Hope to see a part 2 with Terry and Tiny
I didn't know dogs can have PTSD, and they use the same drugs as to human.
If it can be stressed, it can get PTSD.
It depends. Humans are animals. Dogs are animals. Some animals get the same problems and need the same solutions as human animals. I give my dog 50 mg of Benadryl every night for hay fever. I use to crush potassium phosphate pills I got from CVS for my cat due to a kidney issue. Did that for over 10 years.
Just make sure you check before giving any pet human medicine.
My dog is a rescue with dog fighting trauma, and we have her on prozac. Sometimes I have to wake her up from night terrors.
My rescue Australian cattle dog had ptsd. We had to get rid of anything flyswatter like and couldn’t toss laundry anywhere around him. He didn’t need meds but lifestyle changes by us and also he needed to be in constant contact with me or the kids if he was triggered. When he got old he couldn’t be away from me for even a few minutes and the kids babysat him if I went to the store. Prozac made his anxiety worse so dogs also have undesirable side effects from meds. His cheaper pain medication were human meds but the fancy expensive stuff was dog only. He made it to over 21 and was the best dog ever with a decent amount of resilience to cope with his trauma but definitely never got over the flyswatter thing until the day he died(when he was old I had to constantly put towels under him so he was triggered by that at times).
Animals, especially mammals, can get similar mental health issues to humans. If you see an animal circling its enclosure or bobbing its head in a zoo, that's a sign of a mental health issue.
I wish they had had him comment on the fact that Halle Berry trained and handled the dogs for that scene!
Or the the dog Cerberus was a real life MWD
crazy to find terry on youtube, being a local to me. im sending my lab to him for a 3 week obidience training and boarding service and this makes me even more confident of his capabilities. seems like a great guy cant wait to meet him and see how he can make my dog great.
I don't know if that I am Legend clip deserves a 3/10. That dog did everything that he said a regular German Shephard would do and thats what it was.
I agree, its not the best scene to showcase for the movie, he didn't really send the dog to fight other dogs, it was in protection mode at that point
@stefaniealex6775 yeah that's what I was thinking. They shoulda showed clips where Will's character had him go in to rooms/buildings to sniff around and let him know it was safe.
Oh my this is horrible. What an injustice. We will not stand for this
@@TheTuttle99 no we will not.
Always praised the wolf 10,000 years ago that decided to go to that bonfire and get some food from those apes.
Came to learn, stayed for the doggy ear protection ❤❤❤
You can really tell his emotion change, when talk about the movie have same situation with his passed dog ❤
I like that he takes this seriously but is careful with his wording around how the military uses dogs as “disposable” tools to protect human life. It can be a difficult conversation talking about how they are used and you can see it in his voice
It is also documented (None Came Home by John E O'Donnell and A Soldier's Best Friend by John Bernam) that most of the military dogs that survived their service in Vietnam were abandoned when the U.S. pulled out. Until Clinton signed Robby’s Law (H.R.5314) in 2000, retired military dogs were considered “surplus equipment" and it was common practice to euthanize them.
I would think the military wouldn't send a dog into harm's way without a pretty good tactical reason. As the guy mentioned, it would probably get shot pretty quickly. No doubt a lot of hours go into training those dogs! I bet they are used for tracking and detection far more than "restraint."
I like this video, more of Terry and Tiny please :)
I want Tiny to review clips :D
Wow, such a great video! The level of detail the speaker provides is amazing! Also, it's so great that you provide text and video explanations of terms and situations mentioned!
This video gets a 10/10 from me! Very informative!
Cool to see ‘I Am Legend’ in this it’s not really a Military movie but it’s still a heart-warming scene.
I appreciate him revisiting uncomfortable situations to offer us education. He's amazing. Thank you for your service.
I saw "Dog" a week after a buddy of mine died... his K-9 was at his funeral. the movie hit me hard.
On Seal Team, the dog and his handler are partners in real life in the police department. SO... Seal Team is 100% accurate.
I love belgian malinois so much. Their drive and intelligence make them amazing working dogs.
in the "Dog" clip, I'd add that you wouldn't approach an unknown / possibly traumatised / with possible agression issues dog upfront if you're not in front of a military trained dog. You CAN definitely do it slowly (I'd recommend it, but I'm a civilian behaviourist, not a military trained one, so the military training is definitely a factor for those dogs, i. e. they are probably more used to the military way of approaching them with confidence). The most important thing in dogs with phobia (I'm talking about civilian dogs here ^^ ), is that you don't want to trigger a fear (attack) response, so you'll want to approach them "from the side" and slowly (while watching also slightly to the side, yawning can also be a big help, the dog will understand you're not a threat to him most of the time). Speaking in a soothing tone is right, but crouching so close to them is a big no no (crouching is good, but doing it further from them is better). You don't want your face smack dab in front of that muzzle, even when the bite is restricted, them dogs can pack a punch ^^ I've worked a few times with military trainers here in France, and the work they do is absolutely fabulous, but people really have to remember that training such dogs is very far from what we do with "pets" (since our goals are so far apart)
Mr. Adams seems to be such a humble, competent man. Who knows, what he and his dogs have experienced during deployment. Sometimes, his smile would shine through and one could see how much he admired or loved a specific dog.
YES! I was hoping yall would make a video like this
This looks so unrealistic to me because my dog is an idiot 😂
Really appreciated and enjoyed Terry’s assessment. Thanks for your service.
First time viewer. Excellent video. I’ve seen some of the movies featured. I agree Meagan Leavey was excellent. John Wick 3 is one of my current faves!
Fun fact: Keanu does as many of his own stunts as they will allow. He’s had extensive training in guns and fighting, and also has many bikes.
Very good video, thanks Terry! Now do another with the worst examples. Or just another, you did a great job.
As a dog lover, I really enjoyed this tremendously!
What I love about “vicious” dogs in movies is that 99% of the time the dog actor is just living their best life and having a great time! They have to CGI out their tails or lightly tie them down because the sweet pups are wagging them like crazy because they are having fun. A lot of the time to make them lunge or jump, their handler is standing off camera with a treat or a toy to make them excited. They jump on someone who subtly hands them a treat and gives them kisses between takes. You can tell most of the time if you understand dog body language that dog actors are usually very chill during scenes or just excited. VERY rarely will the dog actually look aggressive or scary body language wise and when they do it is usually due to effects added or makeup like blood matting the fur.
Dog actors are just happy to be there and happy to Have a new friend to play with most of the time
I got busted at Dulles by a beagle. No bark just sat next to me. Thinking i may have a way out of this, i turned to give him scritches and tell him hes a good boi.
"DON'T TOUCH THE DOG, SIR."
That was the 90s, but everything this guy is saying holds true in my experience.
Lol! What did they find on you, and what was the punishment?
@@anti-ethniccleansing465 They didn't find the little bit of hash I had stashed in my underwear, after several VIGOROUS frisks. (I was so nervous I kept asking to go to the bathroom, so glad I didn't.) What *_was_* a surprise was the huge lump (of the same) that I thought I had lost on vacation, but was in the deep corner of my jeans pocket in the suitcase they tossed _hard_.
I was in the frisking/questions room for so long they started basically giving me reasons why the dog would have alerted on me. "Have you been around people who were using drugs recently?"
(lightbulb flickers)
YES! YES!! I WAS AT A RAVE LAST NIGHT! All my friends are felonious party animals!
They let me go, and I found the massive hash ball in my jeans a week later. It was better than a surprise $100 in the laundry.
A beagle took 10 years off my life.
@@anti-ethniccleansing465 I had been to Holland, and got some killer incense. I was afraid someone would covet my incense and so I hid a small amount in my underwear. For safekeeping.
When the beagle sent me to secondary (inspection, I grew up in a border town) I was *_thoroughly_* frisked multiple times. I was so scared they'd find my awesome air flavor, I asked repeatedly to go to the bathroom. Thank God I they didn't let me.
So, this beagle LOVES INCENSE. And he told them where to find some. After my suitcase and basically salad was tossed, the uniforms started essentially giving me reasons why I'd have gotten the doggos attention.
Have you been around anyone who DJs? Anyone who is a fan of reggae?
Yessir!! At a rave last night! Yup! Party animals, the lot of them.
So they let me go.
A week later I found a golf ball sized hunk of incense in my deep corner jeans pocket. I thought I'd lost it on vacation. It was in that suitcase. It was 10x what I had in my shorts. It was like finding a $100 bill in the laundry.

What a lovely presence Terry and Tiny❤, and got to see Cerberus again💓
This is one of the most interesting reports I have ever seen on youtube. It is very well explained by a very experienced guy when it comes to dog handling. Congratulations!
PS: I love dogs especially my white swiss shepherd❤.
My family adopted 2 police dog retireese. One german shepard and one Mailnoise. They were some of teh sweetest and happy boys I have ever had the luck to meet. You could feel that tehy were appreciative of any moment and they really just perked up every time we went out of the house to meet them. What a great video.
This is incredible. I think a lot more animals are more intelligent than we give them credit for.
A lack of oral communication does not automatically mean "dumb".
You can see in my dogs eyes the level of intelligence he possesses. He is insanely smart…Belgian Malenois typically are a smart breed. My dog Kilo is.
Thank you for your service.
Sad fact military and police dogs get PTSD like humans as well 😔
Who cares
Still waiting for “murderer reviews murder scenes” video to drop
A german shepherd is the type of protection dog that with loyalty to protect their owners to their dying breath if it comes down to it
I would LOVE to see him tell more stories about when he was serving/training with the dogs
Love the Video! Love listening to Mr. Adams, sharing his knowledge and experiences!
I'd give this video a 10/10.
Since you got NCIS in there, I'd now like to see what he would think of that NCIS episode where apparently they swapped out a drug-sniffer dog (owned by the Navy) with an attack dog and used that dog to frame a dog attack on a fellow drug-sniffer dog
We definitely need to bring Terry back with Tiny it’s content we need. I would love his take when given facts behind the scenes too.
Bro you are incredibly knowledgable about these dogs, outstanding.
Pupper power
It would have been absolutely amazing to also have Mike Ritland on this episode along with this expert. I have learned so much from Ritland's videos
I really love my Belgian, and I am even more proud to have him, after hearing accounts like this!
This is the type of youtube content im here for 💪🐕
I know is a break down video, but we need more Tiny
We need to know how Tiny feels about the realism too, obviously!!!
The expert I didn't know I needed.
Exactly this was such a nice one to come up in my feed.
the smile on his face when mentioning his last military working dog getting to retire with a nice family was golden
I have 3 Belgians and a Pitbull all trained in protection and search and rescue, really it should be mentioned that this breed doesn't always make the best FAMILY pet though.. I can't tell you how many calls my husband and I have gotten to take a dog because the family cannot handle training and what this breed entails. They see them in the movies, think it's cool, get a puppy, then suddenly end up with a destructive and unmanageable dog their trying to rehome, my husband and I are starting to see more and more Belgian Mals in the humane society's with euthanasia tags.
BTW.. I'm currently training a Weimaraner, for scent detection and I have to say, I'm so impressed with this breed and their ability to think and reason!!! I can't figure out why they aren't used more often..
This was a very interesting video, well done. You sir and your dog have my respect for serving your country even though i'm not American🫡.
The Belgian Malenois is a great working dog. I got to see German Shepards in action over there. But, the Malenois is on a different level athletically. In addition, it is one of the most intuitive dogs you can encounter. Mine learned his responsibilities as a service dog at a very young age. He has been with me since my separation from service.
I like this guys calm demeanour. No wonder dogs love him so much . Great video & great vibes
4:20 oh my heart just melted! Little ear protectors
absolutely adorable 🥺🥺🥺
Realistic or not, john wick dog scene was badass though
I don’t think John Wick uses any blanks ( all the flash is post ) so at least their hearing wasn’t damaged ❤
The movie dog was a tearjerker. I actually recommend you watch that it will give a little bit of backstory on the dog and the character of the handler.
Tiny.. more like cute puppy until he gets the command to eat you for lunch:) Beautiful puppy
As plenty of others have already noted, the dog and hander from SEAL Team are real partners. They're both former K9 cops that worked together. In one of the behind-the-scenes things, they said the biggest "fictional" part is that he gives the dog commands in another language (I can't remember if it was German or not), so when you see him give commands in English (such as the "Cerberus, left!" command in this clip), that was just for the camera/audience.
My partner is a retired search rescue recovery k9 handler. The stuff the dogs could do was just amazing. I used to love 'bodying' for them to train. The dogs were trained bark to alert. We had Australian Kelpies.
Dogs are just so freaking amazing creatures. I swear my partner and our girl had their own language on searches.
Very good video. When I joined the Air Force, I was a security police man. They offered us the opportunity to get dog handler training. This was during the Vietnam war. I declined due to my interaction with dogs growing up. I was later assigned with a guy who was a handler who had returned from Thailand and Vietnam. He shared many stories of his time over thefd. Now that I think about it, that may have been why he drank so much.
10/10 good boys all of them.

my heart breaks when im thinking of a retired army dog with depression and Ptsd ❤ dogs that usually are so happy🥺
Back in the day US Army I trained Sentry Attack Dogs, and my dog was named Ugly, real vicious german shepard, these dogs was well trained for tracking down terrorist, they are Great Dogs to help in the tracking process, but when you are first meeting the dog it was while the dog was in a cage, so that the dog could get familar with its handler, never did the instructors allow the handler to meet the dog in the open, so that they would not get injured by the dog.
Very informative.
Thank you.
Hooah, brother!!!!!! I was in for 8 years and really respect what you do as a trainer!!!!!!
This was great, clear reasoning behind the scores. Those working dogs are brilliant, better trained than the actors!(and in a lot of cases better looking)😂❤️❤️
