Is it harder to find work as someone with BIPDT dog rather than a NASDU dog?
@MichaelWakleySmith7 күн бұрын
BIPTD is the least recognised out of the 3. I don’t see why having a BIPTD would be an issue. I’ve never heard of someone being turned down for work because of it. ✌🏻

Yes my German shepherd gets these grass seeds stuck to her a lot especially in my garden at home.
@ALICE-m8fАй бұрын
Hi I've just subscribed. As a female German shepherd owner I have been subjected to verbal abuse and I've had to muzzle my German shepherd as she is very protective of me and I don't wants to be held legally liable if she was to even bite in self defence of to protect me. Obviously I get this unwanted abuse because I'm a female and it's mostly verbal abuse of four letter words relating to my sexual orientation and gender. I was to be fair warned about this sort of abuse and harassment when I hurt my puppy but I stand against this abuse and want to reach out to other women about this abuse as it's unacceptable to discriminate or make assumptions of me just because of my choice of dog breed.

Definitely avoid the cheap ones, I have a eberspacher diesel heater and when I last took it in for servicing I was told an insurance company won’t pay if a Chinese one decides to set fire to your van.

Hey I'm a big fan of your channel I hope you feel better soon I was wondering Whats it really like being a Security Dog handler and how hard is it to get your NASDU please
@MichaelWakleySmith3 ай бұрын
The pass rate of the handler NASDU is pretty high. I’ve spoken to a lot of people who were worried about it and passed. It’s no harder than your SIA test. What it’s really like being a dog handler, less combative than everyone thinks, ideal if you enjoy training a dog and you can entertain yourself for long periods of time.

Hi Michael, question... Iv just watched a vid of just stop oil breaking into an oil refinery that is guarded by a K9 unit. They climbed the fence and got over even with the dog unit trying to stop them the dog had little effect. Are security dog and handler units really that effective? Interested in your opinion.
@MichaelWakleySmith4 ай бұрын
I haven’t seen it for a while, but I know the video you’re talking about. That handler was in a tough situation, where there were peaceful protesters jumping a fence & nothing was going to stop them. The issue is that if there is no threat to your safety, in the laws eyes the dog is excessive force. Do I think the dog was the best I’ve seen at intimidating the protesters from breaking in, probably not, but I don’t think it would have stopped them anyway. His best bet was to do what he could to stop them getting over, until back up could arrive. There is an argument for putting the dog away & go hands on (using necessary force) to hold them in that area. If the group then began to threaten his safety, then the dog comes out. What he really needed was some workers to even out the numbers and help safely detain the protesters as they come over until the police arrived. So a tough one when you are so outnumbered and the law ties one hand behind your back..

As a cyclist I get chased by dogs once and awhile and outsprint them. Sprinted to 30mph and dropped a dog a couple weeks ago. The key is to anticipate the chase and gear up. Starting at a higher speed helps for sure.. then after the chase call the local dog warden and have them put the dog owner down

There was a criminal offence of violent disorder taking place with the police being vastly outnumbered. There are times when you have to take the fight forward instead of standing still. Dogs are a great tool for splitting a crowd and pushing it back. As Chip says, you have to give a hard response to win the fight. Having done the same type of work as a former police dog handler trust me the dogs are the best tool for clearing and moving a crowd that want to fight.

You’ve never been in a situation where you need to deal with it quick and hard. Sometimes the only language these idiots understand is a hard response At the end of the day, it is more of a visual and a Stop tactic. My cousin is a police Dog Handler and he says that is what they’re trying to do.

@@MichaelWakleySmith Hi Thank you for your polite response. I am not able to provide you with my occupation. But my views are of a professional nature ! I refer to perhaps the Security personnel are not aware of the legislation 2014 so my view is thus, why train a dog to attack, defend it's handler when it will lead intimately to the Dog Being confiscated ( A magistrate will provide a warrant within 24 hrs ) the Security Person arrested. Before we get all the know all's saying that's not right perhaps they should wonder who has made this comment Regards Steve
