Search and Rescue Course, with a focus on whatever you want to train if you have a young dog or an experienced competition dog with challenges (this is not a puppy class). We work with the things that are important for search and rescue to function effectively — deep running lines, working empty casts, locating and indicating on people and objects, obedience in the middle, to name a few. We work with clicker training and its fundamental principles regarding timing, criteria, reinforcement quality, and we use voluntary behaviour and chaining of, for example, indicating on decoys. You are an important part of the course, as all participants must be involved in training the dogs as decoys/handlers. Participation requires that your dog is at least 6 months old and can run to people and engage with rewards of either food or toys.
