Detecting weapons, explosives, and drugs while apprehending violators — canine handlers and their four-legged partners have passed their final exams and are now heading to protect Ukraine’s borders.
Service dogs play an indispensable role in border security, armed with sharp noses and swift legs. Today, no border protection unit operates without these four-legged guardians.
Around 100 border guards, driven by a passion for canine work, completed their training and are now prepared to serve with their loyal companions. During the training, handlers gained professional expertise, while the dogs mastered skills in detecting explosives, drugs, and apprehending offenders. These abilities were showcased during their graduation exams.
“Canine handling is not just a profession; it’s a calling to which you dedicate your life. Working with a four-legged partner is not only more effective but also creates a unique bond — a true friendship. One service, one life,” say the handlers about their vocation.
The Canine Training Center invites all enthusiasts to join the team of professionals and fulfill their dream of becoming a handler.
We wish the graduates an easy service, dignity in their duties, and honor in guarding the nation’s borders.
