The market for military working dogs (MWD) is the industry that encompasses the acquisition, training, deployment, and upkeep of dogs employed by law enforcement and military organizations for a range of operational tasks. Such dogs are trained specifically to aid in activities like explosives detection, patrolling, search and rescue missions, combat operations, and tracking. Moreover, international conflicts, terrorism, and insurgencies have increased the demand for stronger security in most parts of the world. The army is constantly exposed to threats like improvised explosive devices (IEDs), border threats, and counterterrorism missions, so MWDs are a vital resource for detecting explosives, patrolling sensitive regions, and offering quick security solutions.

Military working dogs are employed in concert with other advanced technologies in counterinsurgency, search and rescue, and detecting explosives. However, not every breed of dog can be utilized in military work. While breeds such as the German Shepherd, Belgian Malinois, and Labrador Retriever are well used for versatility, quickness, and smartness, such breeds are not freely available. Getting good-trained dogs might be difficult, particularly in areas where certain breeds are less popular or more difficult to breed for military use.
