Afghan Border Police officers run through a training exercise with their dogs during a six-month training program to learn how to become dog handlers at the Mine Detection Center in Kabul, Nov. 3. The training program is divided into three phases; the first involves the classroom portion for handlers where they learn about narcotics, improvised explosive devices and mine detection while the canines go through a socialization process. During the second phase, handlers are partnered with their dog and in phase three the handler-dog team learn their specialty scent, including explosive materials or narcotics.
