[training dog attacks padded man]

Miss Cochran - the dog trainer:
Baruk, out! Come! Baruk, come!

Lt. Columbo:
Miss Cochran! Ma'am!

[runs up to her]

Miss Cochran - the dog trainer:
[to Baruk] Good boy. Good boy.

Lt. Columbo:
What did you just do?

Miss Cochran - the dog trainer:
Just an attack command.

Lt. Columbo:
But you said...

Lt. Columbo:
[eyes the dog warily]... K-I-S-S, ma'am.

Miss Cochran - the dog trainer:
Well, that's Baruk's attack word. A dog can respond to any command as long as he's trained to understand it. Here, I'll show you. Baruk. Watch him. Watch him. Kill!

[Baruk jumps up on Lt. Columbo and licks his face]

Lt. Columbo:
[relieved] Oh, ho, yes! Yes, you're a good doggie. Yes. All right. All right, that's enough.

Miss Cochran - the dog trainer:
Baruk, down.

Lt. Columbo:
That's enough.

Miss Cochran - the dog trainer:
Down.

Lt. Columbo:
All right. Whew. You mean that a trainer can control a dog with any word? Any word at all?

Miss Cochran - the dog trainer:
A sign, or a sound, a word - ANY word, in any language.
