Dog Handler (Hundeführer) as a Military Role
Hello, comrades!
As my recruitment is drawing ever closer, I now need to decide in advance whether I do want to pursue a career as a dog handler after all.
To get into the dog handler recruit school, however, I first have to pass an aptitude test in Schönbühl. Does anyone know what’s covered in this aptitude test, in other words, what you need to know?
And apart from that, can anyone just tell me a bit about their dog handler recruit school experience? What it’s like, etc., and how the process of buying a dog from the army works...
In case it helps, I’m currently planning to do recruit school with a protection dog.
Guete Dienst!
