Dogs can be good, but they can't work for long periods of time without breaks. The training time is long, which means deployment can't be made quickly. Training of the handlers is also a concern. A five-week course just doesn't cut it many times. In addition, with the additional pressure being placed on training more dogs, there appears to be more "puppy mill" attitude out there.
