Terry Adams Jr., a former US Army working dog handler, rates eight military dogs in movies and television shows for realism.
Adams breaks down various breeds of military working dogs, particularly the Belgian Malinois, in the search-and-apprehension scenes in "SEAL Team" S1E7 and E14, the explosive-detection dog in "Megan Leavey," and the guard dogs in "John Wick: Chapter 3 — Parabellum," with Keanu Reeves and Halle Berry.
He also explains the safety protocols and realities of dog handling during warfare, such as detecting weapons and explosives in "Max," and "NCIS" S10E18, and the realities of post-traumatic stress disorder among retired military working dogs in "Dog," starring Channing Tatum.
Adams has six years of experience as a military working dog handler for the US Army, as well as 10 years of experience handling and training civilian dogs.
He is the founder and head trainer of Tactical K9, a facility for training civilian and military dogs.
