      True

    • B. 

      False

    Correct Answer
    B. False

    In this scenario, the correct answer is False. The statement suggests that when a K-9 performs his job correctly, he is given a food treat.

While food treats can be used as a form of positive reinforcement during training, there are also other forms of rewards and reinforcements that can be used to motivate and reinforce desired behaviors in K-9s.
