An Afghan Border Police dog waits with his handler to run through a training exercise at the Mine Detection Center in Kabul, Nov. 3. The center offers a six-month handler training program 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.
