This was the best interview and podcast you have done and I have watched everyone of your videos. Please have him back. Thank you to both of you.

[@bethfoor1965]

Agreed!!! 👍🏻😃

[@wiv3984]

I never listen to a full podcast but I could've listened to 3 hours of this.

SOOOO GOOD !!!! What a great person.. aside from the dogs you can tell he knows and cares about people, children, life!!!!

[@GallowsPole805]

I have a retired Military Working Dog (MWD). Patrol trained... aka biter. Combat Veteran. Multiple Handler Course training aide asset after he could not be deployed anymore due to physical wear and tear on his body. Belgian Malinois. He was beat to hell when I adopted him, bored out of his mind sitting in his kennel all day, and ready to get the heck out of the “excess” wing of the kennels at Lackland AFB. He knows his physical limitations now but the one thing he will never know is lack of drive. You look into his eyes and he has “it” and will always have “it” until his last breath. I pull one of my rifles out of my safe and no matter how fatigued he is from a big fetch session we just did he comes to “fuss” without command and he’s ready to fight. But he will not fight anymore... I am the one that does the fighting now for him if it comes to it. Sure he gets to hit his sleeve or wedge daily and have some epic fetch/obedience sessions and swim and hang out with his GSD sister (and marvel at her dock diving while he takes the stairs into the water), and eat his raw food diet, and receive treats. He’s just an incredible living being that’s scared of cats, wondering of horses, gentle around children, and pretty much neutral/indifferent to everything but the “task.” And right now he’s racked out on his bed with his legs in the air snoring.... he’s earned it.

[@SheilaSmith-Taplin]

Sounds a great boy.Thank you for helping him :)

That beautiful comment at 23:00 min, how the police uses an e-collar to communicate with dog on a distance and save dog's life, has summed up this brilliant interview. Kudos to LAPD K9 trainer, and the staff. Thanks Mr Cabral.

[@OnPointDogs]

If only we could reproduce this guy across the country, because some of these police K9 units are disgraceful. Fascinating interview.

[@lisagormel-martelli4473]

It's not just the excellent trainer, but the whole Police K9 set up! More funding for the dogs and the police!

[@jfkst1]

LAPD has a huge budget. Very few other police agencies can replicate that nor do they need to. The simply fact they can afford such long training for handler teams, especially as single purpose dogs, is way beyond what most LE agencies will ever be able to do.

[@OnPointDogs]

@@jfkst1 i get your point about budgets, but why would you say they dont need to?

[@BBAMEG]

What a wonderful guest! It's so nice to see a down to earth, yet passionate person talk about dogs and proper training. Thanks, Robert.

[@rajaramjet6969]

This podcast was over the top and simply enthralling to listen to. Like so many others I didn't want the interview and discussions to end either as it was so interesting. Michael Goosby is a class act and very well spoken. LAPD and its citizens should be proud to have him as their K9 trainer and representative of LAPD K9. He is obviously very knowledgeable and a joy to listen to. Respect to both of you and thank you for backing the blue.

[@brianw.520]

My hats off to the LAPD and Officer Michael Goosby! I have much admiration for these guys and what they do. Thank you Robert for this interview! Fantastic!

[@garrypotter251]

GREAT podcast! A real treat to listen to two trainers who really know their business. I have a 110 lb east European GSD. He came to us partially trained, Mr. Cabral has been an amazing help to us in ensuring that we continue the training correctly. This video has been a great addition to to help us understand our dogs drives and utilize them correctly. With Robert's help we have taken a very immature and out of control dog and turned him into a great dog! Thanks again!

Incredible interview Robert!! Thank you SO much! These are the types of “back-and-forth” that most of us working dog handlers/enthusiasts would otherwise NEVER benefit from! So valuable~

[@maldad9073]

I got my first Malinois in '94, and my first experience was just like Michael's, I thought it was just a skinny GSD, boy was I in for a surprise. Love those dogs, enough that I have two today, but they are a full time job for sure.

[@primalcritters]

Just curious, did you have a showline GSD before? Or working? I love Mals, they're comics for sure and damn great dogs but I'm still a working GSD person. In my experience they are still athletic as hell, powerful dogs, slightly larger, but Def have a little more thought behind their actions. I ask because I find many people comparing Mals to showline GSDs and that's hardly a comparison.

[@chaoticcaninejb]

The raw authentic enjoyment and passion in this talk was very refreshing on both parts!

[@reflexdogtraining1337]

This conversation says so much for every dog owner, handler, trainer and pet (dog) enthusiast. We'll done!

[@nanidogmomstevens6386]

Yes, I loved this. Thank you, Mike and Robert.. I’m old now but like you, I could (and do) talk dog all day. We have lovie pups now, but some of that (most of it)still holds. Couple years ago, I lost a Boston Terrier, who was all the qualities you spoke of...confidence, social, on task, calm, gentle, brave, discerning, loyal, obedient etc.! He really was the pet of a lifetime. I’ve trained our dogs since I was 10. Be blest gentlemen☦️👩🏻‍🦳🇺🇸carla

[@sueshrodes9462]

Excellent video!!!!! Chief is wonderful rep for LAPD!

[@MashaT22]

First off, this interview is amazing. It gives insight into police dogs and all working dogs. I can’t tell you how often I get asked if service dogs are forced to work when people see mine. People with pets have trouble picturing the fact that many dogs thrive on and need to work. I have a black Lab from an organization that has trained SD’s for over 30+ years. They taught us that being a service dog is an even more demanding job than police and military dogs; most get washed at various points in the training process because they’re not cut out for a job that requires being ready to assist their disabled handler 24/7/365 at a moment’s notice. Service dogs get plenty of downtime too, but even during that downtime, SD’s are watching the handler and are prepared to help. My SD will literally stop playing or wake up from a nap if he sees/hears the sound of garbage (like wrappers, empty plastic bottles, etc.) in my hand. Even if I tell him we can do it later, he plants himself in front of me and waits until I let him do the job. He was not taught to do this and clearly loves it that much that he’s willing to interrupt his nap or play to assist me. He also gives me a kiss nearly every single time I give him a task to perform - I always thinks it’s backwards that he’s thanking me, but he clearly feels compelled to show his appreciation for letting him assist. That being said, people need to understand the breed they’re interested in, their own lifestyle, and how to select the right dog for their home. For instance, most Labs (or any breed that were originally bred to work) are not cut out for the level of wanting to work as my service dog. Service dogs are seriously the top 1% of dogs for desire to always be ready to work. However, even the laziest Lab is genetically ingrained to want to have a basic purposes/job, otherwise they will likely display obedience/behavioral issues - training tricks, involving them in a sport, etc. for a short time every day usually is enough to fulfill that dog. It’s cruel to take a dog that’s been bred to work and then not give them the outlets they need. Some Labs may be okay with that. That’s why it’s important to use a reputable breeder who can help select lower drive dogs, or bring someone who is experienced to temperament test a dog before adopting from a shelter. Police dogs are incredible. This interview should help people understand them better - and there are nuggets in there that apply to all dogs. It’s true that tons of Malinois and GSD’s get dumped in shelters by people who had no clue what they were getting into. Few people are the lifestyle and knowledge to handle those dogs. Please hear what’s being said in this interview. Police dogs love what they do - working dogs are special creatures!

[@LauraHopkinsCDL]

@MashaT22 Working dogs are the best. My Service dog is a high drive Border Collie and exactly what I need but I train drills every day and she thrives on it. Enjoyed reading your comment. Thank you : )

[@Noahsark17]

Absolutely Sister! working dogs thrive in work, and derive emotional satisfaction. The drive of the hunt and the flow there in, gives the canine the essence of being. The Hollywood movie scene is doing a great disservice to the Malinois breed. Entertainment leading to Supply and demand for a blind population, thinking that they can return a living creature for a refund. Spiritual awareness is necessary.

[@Beepbeep_its_treasure]

This was so interesting!! Loved this podcast session. I have a gsd x rottweiler and trying to be commanding as a woman is hard for me as my natural personality is placid and sweet

[@ameliadayvault9470]

Loved the part about the police dog being a "less than lethal" answer! There was a party a couple years ago in a rented facility near my house that got out of hand. Police officers showed up and a K9 Officer with his handler, were walking among the crowd that had spilled outside the building. My sister ask me why were they using a K9 dog. I told her that not even the drunkest person there would try to argue with the dog, while they might talk back to the cops! The dog had a major calming effect on the crowd. They hustled to do what the officers asked them to do!

[@MH-mi3ui]

Phenomenal interview.

[@La_Rougarou]

Robert... great podcast man ! Coming from a rural area where most of the working police dogs are dual purpose dogs where they do drug searches, article searches, suspect tracking and apprehension its was great to get the head honchos take from lapd metro's k9's on their procedures and the many aspects into the training and specific uses of their dogs. I do think that many of the dogs in rural areas that are starting out on the front lines are too green and as the man said put through gladiator school which is in part due to budget restraints in these rural areas which also causes a need to get as much working life as possible on the job from the dog. The pressure in training of dual purpose dogs is much greater than on say a dog that is strictly a drug dog or one that strictly does article searches. On top of this the pressures on the officers is much greater in these rural areas as your guest noted that these type officers are patrol officers with only their k-9 partner along with them. Back- up could be miles away so the situation has possible dangers exponentially to both the officer and the dog. The bottom line is the officer is much more likely to come home to his family safely and the bond they have with their k-9 partner is absolute. They would never put their dog at risk unless its to save lives. I would only hope that the public could more understand how much these great dogs take drugs out of our communities, in criminal apprehension, and help our officers (and not just the handlers) come home safely to continue their honorable jobs to make us all safer. Then these budgets could grow much larger to tackle these issues that were noted. Thanks Robert and I look forward to your guest coming back!

Learnt a lot from you guys, here in India a lot of dog lovers think they can own a malinois as a pet, (in a home, with small children and other pets around) this podcast is an eye opener... Why and how these dogs are bred and raised and trained rigorously. And the tools used to correct and focus them on their jobs. Great to see similar podcasts related to police and military K9s. Thank you

[@mikefrost1312]

You can, IF you know what you're doing & get the RIGHT dog!! All my dogs are "family" dogs. But, they still have jobs to do. They get enough exercise and training throughout the day, so when it's time to come inside and relax, they have no issues .. except my livestock dogs lol they stay outside 24-7 by choice and are ALWAYS on duty..

The BEST podcast/interview video I have seen in a long time on any subject. As a working dog owner, the level of knowledge & experience Officer Goosby has impressive. With is willingness to share along with his ability to do that well is just a homerun all the way around. The interaction between two people with the knowledge/experience of you both was enormously insightful, educational and entertaining. The informative component can not be over looked nor should it be. There is not anyone that would not benefit from seeing/hearing this interview/video...potential future owners of working dogs can gain something . Present working dog owners should be inspired. And the insight/information the general citizen can take away from this almost cant be explained in just a few words. AMAZING JOB Mr. Cabral ! And I would like to personally thank LAPD's Michael Goosby for taking the time to do this. It is not everyday that you see his level of competence in such an important role. Coupled with Officer Goosby's ability/demure to express and deliver the information so well is priceless in inspiring cof

[@LauraHopkinsCDL]

My Zed is trained to follow the flash light. Works well. Great to be able to train in house I think. Personally I think better to shape and train a green youngster. Like that the dogs are specialists. I think dogs are so under used. That nose and a dogs abilities are not appreciated. Science has to do invasive tests when a dog can smell it or give warning of seizures, scent cancer and so much more. Why , oh why are the humans not using dogs better . I put an E collar mention in a video and got zero comments. They are not a bad tool , its the person who makes it a good tool or a tool the breaks a dog. Proper e collar conditioning is essential to be fair to the dog. Zed was a nightmare until I e collar conditioned her correctly. Absolutely brilliant video guys. Gonna take me an hour to get off the floor after sitting so long but very well worth it. Thank you both so very much. Our Police over here in England could learn so much from this caring, fair minded man, who's passion shines through. Thank you : ) Fantastic.
