figurant Explanation: No expert in the actual translation world about this, yet I know about dog training and the clothing for "dificult" dogs is called "figurant clothing" (maybe other names given too). A search with "dog training/canine training+figurant/figurant clothin" may help you. Of course, there may be more appropiate answers. |

"victim"with quotes in this context Explanation: I would put victim in quotes, the person appears to be acting as a supposed "victim". Role player is also a good choice. In both military and police training (I've been through both) we would say, "so and so will play the victim" |
