Dublin Airport Police show how dogs can be used to assist them in their security work.

Dog handlers Bernard Reynolds and Paddy King put two Dublin Airport Police dogs, Lordy and King, through obedience exercises.

The dogs are put through their weekly training stint. The exercises involve obedience work, distance control and learning to lie down and remain there until called.

In exercises the dogs capture Tommy O'Flaherty who poses as an armed criminal and a child abductor.
