    A military or law enforcement K9 training exercise is taking place on an artificial turf enclosed area. One handler in camouflage uniform holds a leash while a Belgian Malinois or similar working dog engages with a decoy/agitator wearing a black padded jacket and camouflage pants. The decoy appears to be reacting to the dog's bite or lunge during a controlled bite-work training scenario.
