Tip of the Spear: Souda Bay Military Working Dogs Sharpen Skills with New Training Assist

CM - English

The tip of the spear is sharper than ever! Naval Support Activity Souda Bay is elevating its military working dog program with a new, intensive training assist. For the first time, regional trainers are on-site, joining the kennel master to boost the capabilities of our dedicated dog teams.   This crucial training goes beyond the usual yearly assessments. With new directives calling for bi-annual visits, handlers receive tailored training plans designed to enhance every aspect of their partnership with their dogs. This collaborative approach brings fresh perspectives, identifying innovative ways to improve performance and further develop both handlers and their canine counterparts.   Our military working dogs and their handlers play a vital role in ensuring security, from protecting high-ranking officials like POTUS to safeguarding families on bases worldwide. This focused training ensures these elite teams are mission-ready and performing at their absolute best here at Souda Bay.   #MilitaryWorkingDogs #K9Training #NavalSupportActivity #MilitaryPolice    U.S. Navy video by Mass Communication Specialist 3rd Class Curtis Burdick
