The dogs we would get in the Corps were professionally trained by a Company who breeds and trains the dogs from a puppy. after they reach around 9months to a year and a half(depends on how smart the dog is) they ship them off to the appropriate duty stations to take the basic skills inbetted into them and expand on them. Most are trained either for Explosives or Drugs. Every MWD(Military Working Dog) is trained in attacking and destroying a suspect/criminal on command. No dog is trained in both Explosives and Drugs for if the dog hits on something you don't know if its drugs or a bomb so.... When a handler gets his new dog, he is the one who basically instills he discipline into the dog on attacking and listening to certain verbal commands. The handler also expands there knowledge and strengthens the dogs senses on what ever they are trained for. (Drug or Explosives)



I hope that helps you out. If you are in the service, talk to your local MP unit and they would probably let you cross train with them, but they are gonna want full dedication and you are gonna have to have a lot of patients with them, for I did this.How can I become a Military Dog Trainer?
