68. (023) While tracking, what could cause a military working dog (MWD) to work downwind by as much as several yards?

Explanation

Wind could cause a military working dog (MWD) to work downwind by as much as several yards. When tracking, MWDs rely heavily on their sense of smell to locate targets or individuals. Wind can carry scent particles in a specific direction, and the MWD will naturally follow the scent trail downwind. This allows the dog to pick up the scent more easily and accurately, increasing their chances of successfully tracking the target. Therefore, wind direction plays a crucial role in guiding the MWD during tracking operations.

Submit
69. (017) What is the maximum distance from the dog that basic commands are given during advanced obedience training?

Explanation

In advanced obedience training, the maximum distance from the dog that basic commands are given is 50 feet. This distance allows the trainer to assess the dog's ability to follow commands from a significant distance, which is a crucial skill in advanced obedience training. It also helps in improving the dog's focus and responsiveness to commands, as they need to pay attention and follow instructions even when they are farther away from the trainer.

Submit
70. (016) What is the concept of positive transfer?

Submit
75. (028) If your dog is overheated, how much water can you allow it to drink before he or she is calm and body temperature returns to normal?

Explanation

When a dog is overheated, it is important to provide them with water to help cool them down. However, allowing them to drink too much water at once can lead to bloating or vomiting. A cup of water is a reasonable amount to offer, as it provides enough hydration without overwhelming their system. It allows the dog to gradually rehydrate and cool down, giving their body time to adjust and return to a normal temperature.

Submit

These duties highlight the importance of the dog team in maintaining the security of the air base and preventing any potential attacks or breaches.

Submit
80. (025) Within how many days after a dog arrives at its unit assignment must it meet post-certification standards?

Explanation

After a dog arrives at its unit assignment, it must meet post-certification standards within 90 days. This means that the dog has a grace period of 90 days to complete any necessary training or requirements in order to meet the standards set for its unit assignment. It is important for the dog to meet these standards within the given timeframe to ensure its readiness and effectiveness in carrying out its duties.

Submit
81. (016) During controlled aggression, what can be particularly crippling to progress?

Explanation

Anticipation can be particularly crippling to progress during controlled aggression because it can lead to hesitation and indecisiveness. When a dog anticipates the actions of its handler or opponent, it may become distracted or lose focus on the task at hand. This can prevent the dog from effectively executing commands or strategies, ultimately hindering its progress in the controlled aggression scenario.

Submit
82. (026) What is the military working dog's (MWD) ideal biting position?

Explanation

The military working dog's ideal biting position is with their feet braced against their body and biting the rag close to their chest. This position allows for maximum control and stability while biting, ensuring that the dog can effectively hold onto the rag and not easily be dislodged. By bracing their feet against their body, the dog can use their entire body strength to maintain a strong grip on the rag. Biting close to the chest also helps to protect the dog's vital organs and maintain balance during the biting process.

Submit
83. (028) While providing treatment for a cold injury, check the dog's temperature every

Explanation

When providing treatment for a cold injury, it is important to monitor the dog's temperature regularly to ensure it is not dropping too low or rising too high.

Submit
85. (006) Which post is well-suited for dog teams during night operations?

Explanation

Fixed detection posts are well-suited for dog teams during night operations because they typically involve stationary positions where the dogs can be used to detect any movement or intruders. These posts are usually set up in strategic locations to provide early warning and surveillance, making them ideal for utilizing the enhanced senses and tracking abilities of trained dogs. Motorized patrols involve moving vehicles, which may not be conducive for dogs to effectively perform their tasks. Observation posts and main line defense positions may also require constant movement and may not provide the same level of detection capabilities as fixed detection posts.

Submit

Submit
88. (015) What does inducive training involve when training military working dogs (MWD)?

Explanation

Inducive training involves the use of rewards and omission when training military working dogs. This means that positive behaviors are rewarded with treats or praise, while undesirable behaviors are ignored or not reinforced. This type of training focuses on positive reinforcement and creating a positive association with desired behaviors. It encourages dogs to learn and perform tasks willingly and enthusiastically, rather than using punishment or force.

Submit
89. (015) How is discriminative stimuli best explained?

Explanation

Discriminative stimuli are best explained by rewarding the military working dog (MWD) after it completes a command. This means that the dog learns to associate a specific command with a reward, and this association helps the dog discriminate between different commands and respond accordingly. By rewarding the MWD after it completes a command, it reinforces the desired behavior and strengthens the association between the command and the reward. This helps the dog understand and discriminate between different commands, improving its training and response to commands.

Submit
90. (022) During the initial training stage, at what distance should the person firing the gun be away from the military working dog (MWD)?

Explanation

During the initial training stage, it is recommended for the person firing the gun to be 100 yards away from the military working dog (MWD). This distance ensures the safety of both the dog and the person, as it allows enough space for the dog to become accustomed to the loud noise and potential distractions caused by firing the gun. Being at a distance of 100 yards also minimizes the risk of any harm or injury to the dog or the person handling the gun.

Submit
91. (028) If you believe your dog has swallowed a corrosive substance, what do you do?

Explanation

If you believe your dog has swallowed a corrosive substance, encouraging your dog to drink water is the correct action to take.

Submit
93. (015) When a dog handler waits to give his or her dog food until it first sits is an example of what type of training?

Explanation

Instrumental conditioning, also known as operant conditioning, is a type of training where a behavior is strengthened or weakened by the consequences that follow it. In this scenario, the dog handler is using instrumental conditioning by withholding the food until the dog sits. The dog learns that sitting leads to the reward of food, which reinforces the behavior of sitting. This type of training focuses on shaping and reinforcing desired behaviors through rewards or punishments.

Submit
94. (020) During initial building search training, where do you want the dog to initially see, hear, and smell the intruder?

Explanation

During initial building search training, it is important for the dog to initially see, hear, and smell the intruder inside the building at the door entrance.

Explanation

A permanent change in the dog's behavior (learning) occurs because of the dog's interaction with the environment. This means that the dog's behavior is influenced and shaped by the surroundings it is exposed to. The environment includes factors such as the physical space, other animals or people present, and any stimuli or rewards that the dog encounters. These interactions with the environment can lead to learning and the development of new behaviors or habits in the dog.

Submit
96. (025) Which task is considered noncritical during patrol training?

Explanation

During patrol training, the obedience course is considered noncritical because it focuses on teaching dogs basic commands and discipline rather than specific skills required for patrol duties. While scouting, false run, and gunfire training are all essential tasks for patrol training as they involve gathering information, practicing pursuit techniques, and getting accustomed to the sound of gunfire, the obedience course is more about establishing control and obedience in the dog.

Submit
97. (016) When does a military working dog (MWD) handler use the variable interval reward schedule (VIRS)?

Explanation

The variable interval reward schedule (VIRS) is used by a military working dog (MWD) handler after the dog has learned to perform a task for a set period of time. This means that the dog has become proficient in performing the task consistently and reliably. The VIRS is then implemented to reinforce the dog's behavior at variable time intervals, which helps to maintain and strengthen the learned behavior over time. This schedule is effective in preventing the dog from becoming reliant on a fixed ratio or predictable schedule of rewards.

Submit
98. (028) How often should you loosen a tourniquet to allow circulation to return?

Explanation

Loosening a tourniquet allows circulation to return to the affected area. However, loosening it too often can disrupt the process of stopping bleeding. Therefore, it is important to strike a balance between allowing circulation to return and maintaining control over the bleeding. Every 10 minutes is a reasonable time frame to loosen the tourniquet, as it provides enough time for circulation to resume without compromising the effectiveness of the tourniquet in controlling bleeding.
