ADF | Irondog K9 Seminar Workshop

ADF military working dogs (MWD) play a vital role in securing the National Airbase Network, protecting Agile Basing, and supporting Army and RAAF operations. These animals are highly trained and are well equipped to perform a myriad of tasks.
MWDs do not operate alone, and our people are a critical part of the team.
The specialised nature of preparing working dogs to fulfil their duties requires the ADF to work with industry subject matter experts to ensure our MWDs are ready to operate now and into the future, across the full spectrum of operations.
This Irondog K9 workshop exposed MWDs to realistic training scenarios to ensure they are best prepared on operational employment.

I wonder how expensive these dogs would be.

[@BarkingSpyda]

I think they'd be just happy with a few treats!

[@cephasbiji5]

@@BarkingSpyda prolly cost around 1400 cookies to train these dogs 😂.

[@Buddy89538]

Ballpark figure could be in excess of 100k an animal. They’re not only highly trained but also highly taken care of and housed. Veterinary care around the clock etc

@@Buddy89538 yeah I was expecting about $60,000-150,000 to train them and take care of them.
