We have a short CD of our team that explains our mission and shows all of our specialty canines at work.  The cost is $20.00 including mailing.  Please contact Kathy at k9handler@wildblue.net  for your copy.
 

 

Other Instruction:

We have two fire school instructors and also state certified teachers available for a variety of training and certified courses, such as HAZMAT awareness and Search Operations..

 

 

 

All of our dogs, regardless of specialty, receive a lot of agility training to help them prepare for real life work.

    Tracking/Trailing:

 

 

 

 

Our dogs are scent specific, meaning that they will follow the scent that is presented to them, forsaking any others.

We heavily train in both rural and urban areas, aged and fresh.

This is our most called upon resource

and we work hard to maintain our training on both land and water.

 

 

 

 

 

                              

 

Wilderness/Area Search

These dogs are trained to go into an area and find ANY live human odor,

in either a wilderness setting or a building search.

 

  

                    Disaster

 

 

        Our disaster teams are trained and certified to the same specifications as the FEMA teams with exception of the size of rubble required.  Handler are all Amateur Radio Operators, and have training in Hazmat, search ops (all completed NIMS courses, first aid, and many other related courses.)
