Hi
As a Dog Handler, you’ll take Military Working Dogs (MWD) wherever the Army is deployed. You start by working with protection dogs; making sure that bases and Army sites are safe and secure. Later, you might be chosen to handle specialist dogs that can sniff out arms and explosives. In barracks and on low-level training exercises, you’ll work with colleagues in the Royal Army Veterinary Corps. On operations or large-scale exercises, you’ll support troops from every part of the Army – wherever military dogs are needed. You’ll train your dogs to the highest standard and enjoy an incredible bond. Together, you could save lives. See https://apply.army.mod.uk/roles/army-medical-service/dog-handler for more information and how to apply.
Dog handler is very popular. Here are some links with some more information for you: https://www.army.mod.uk/news-and-events/news/2019/07/1st-military-working-dog-regiment-ravc-tackle-commander-s-canine-challenge/ and https://www.army.mod.uk/who-we-are/corps-regiments-and-units/army-medical-services/royal-army-veterinary-corps/ and they have a Facebook page: search 1st Military Working Dog Regiment and there are some great videos on YouTube of dog handling too which I advise you checking out. There is also information on Twitter: @1MWD_Reg.
