 Competitors fought to be top dog in the European Military Working Dog competition. The week-long competition, hosted by the 18th Military Police Brigade, called on 10 US Army dog handlers across Europe to test both their soldier and canine handling skills. I would say the most challenging part would be the ability to have to mentally focus after being physically drained. We had a vet lane that required a lot of focus and attention to detail immediately following a confidence course. Throughout the week, soldiers raced for time through an obstacle course, provided tactical care to dummy dogs, and conducted traffic stops in building searches for people and drugs. Building that rapport within that relationship with your working dog comes down to that handlers' actions and their drive and motivation. So really it's anybody's game at this point.
