When do decertifications happen?

When do decertifications happen?

• A. Upon completion of a standard training cycle.
• B. After 180 days of non-use.
• C. When the MWD shows no issues during remediation.
• D. When the MWD continues to fail after accomplishing all documented attempts at remedial training.

Answer: (D)

Decertification happens when the MWD continues to fail after accomplishing all documented attempts at remedial training. The idea is that a dog remains certified only if it can meet the required standards; if persistent issues persist despite documented remediation, the certification cannot be maintained. This isn’t tied to the end of a training cycle or to periods of non-use, and it isn’t triggered just because remediation shows no issues—remediation must fail for decertification to occur.
