 Tindall's military working dog mission is to detect, deter, and detain any threats to Tindall airfields. Military working dogs are important for the installation security because they provide a psychological deterrence. We have narcotic explosive dogs in case somebody is trying to bring something that they've shown in on base. Our dogs are there to sniff it out and stop it before anything happens. Some of the tactics we use, anything from detection to building searches, so assimilating like a barricaded suspect. Scouts, so if an individual is hiding in a field or somewhere our dogs can use their sight, scent, or sound to find that person. Our dogs have to be certified to release them on a bite and if the dog is released on a bite you have to be able to justify it through all of your training and tactics. I'd say the most rewarding part about being a dog handler is taking a product and basically turning it into your own through training. You can take a dog and then see how far you've come with that dog for months from now. For example, I've only been on my dog two months and just seeing how far him and I have come together is probably the most rewarding thing about this job.
