I would like to be a dog handler when I'm older and want to know what I can do to help get the job for when I'm older

Good Afternoon, No formal qualification are needed to apply for this job role if you havent done so already I would suggest looking further into the role via: https://apply.army.mod.uk/roles/army-medical-service/dog-handler However if you was looking to stay in education to prep you could attend the likes of a Military Preparation collage or public services course. Also I would look into the Values & Standards of a British Army Soldier to understand and start that kind of mindset early. https://www.army.mod.uk/media/5219/20180910-values_standards_2018_final.pdf 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.
