What is the minimum size requirement for the MWD training area?

The minimum size requirement for the Military Working Dog (MWD) training area is set at 75 feet by 150 feet. This size is specified to ensure that the area is adequate for the diverse training exercises necessary for MWDs, including obedience, agility, and detection work. A properly sized training area provides sufficient space for handlers to facilitate realistic scenarios and allows for the full range of movement required during training sessions.

By meeting this minimum size, the training environment can effectively simulate operational conditions that MWDs and their handlers may encounter in the field, promoting effective skill development and teamwork.
