SEARCH & RESCUE (SAR) DOG TRAINING - Air scenting

/20+ years operational experience in the SAR dog world/

Pet Dog Air Scenting Sessions

Training your dog to search for a person. We teach your dog to air scent and to find someone hidden and to let you know that they have found. You will learn about scent theory, search techniques, different ways of indications (your dog can tell you that they have found)…and much more. It’s definitely a very unique and rewarding skill that you and your dog will learn.

Please note that dogs are worked individually and off lead during these sessions, whilst the other dogs are waiting for their turn in the car. It is important to note that it is essential that you are prepared to hide during these sessions. Not only will this be required for the other dogs working, but it will also ensure that you learn how to correctly reward and interact with the dog at the point of find.
