Hi,

I'm 16 and I want to become a Dog handler, I've always wanted to. The thing is, I'm a bit stuck as theres too much to take in and I need some advice. I could go into the Army when I'm 17 to start training as a Dog handler, but I'm not too sure. I could be a security guard for a Prison or a private company, the thing is, you have to be 18 to get the licence. I could be a Dog handler for the National Search and Rescue Dog Association, the thing is, you have to be a member for a year at your local Mountain rescue team, and I live just outside London, so I don't think that's possible.

There are also a lot of other courses available, there are just so many, like COAPE, and some others in Colleges and Universities, do you recommend these.

I would really appreciate your help.

Thank you for your time,
Stevj016.
