Profiles
Tracking
Tracking teaches dogs to follow scent trails, identify missing persons' unique scents, and work effectively in various environments.
Area Search
Area search trains dogs to find missing persons in urban or wilderness areas. They learn to indicate scent sources and work with handlers.
Scent Detection
Scent Detection involved dogs that are trained to identify specific scents, such as articles or substances. They learn to alert their handlers to the presence of these scents, aiding in various search scenarios.
Obedience & Dexterity
Obedience focuses on essential commands for search and rescue, ensuring dogs respond reliably, even in stressful situations. Dexterity adds obstacles such as ladders, planks, tunnels etc.
