    Cpl. Amber Yager, an Alexandria, Minnesota, native, and her dog, Junior, train in directional skills Aug. 7 at the Central Training Area, Okinawa, Japan. Directional skills are commands such as straight back, left or right communicated to a dog by their handler when they are off-leash, according to Yager. A dog handler can use a whistle, hand signals and/or verbal commands to communicate with the dog. The more proficient a dog team is at directionals, the farther distance a dog can search while off-leash. Military working dog handlers executed explosives and narcotics detection, patrolling and bite work training throughout the day. Yager is a military working dog handler with 3rd Law Enforcement Battalion, III Marine Expeditionary Force Headquarters Group, III MEF. (U.S. Marine Photo by Lance Cpl. Abbey Perria/Released)
