Search Law School and Rescue Dog Training
There are many things that dogs can be trained to do, but in all the tasks a working dog can perform, search and rescue ranks the highest for needing qualified, professional instructors. A search and rescue (SAR) performance dog, literally, can determine life or death of a human being in need.
As shocking as it may seem, there is a set of standards for training dog rescue. Later, rescue clubs, teams and individuals listed as trainers, when, in fact, may know little or nothing at all on training a SAR dog. Attending seminars and reading books on the subject are worthwhile efforts, but do not constitute being a SAR dog trainer. Sadly, in a large percentage of cases, this is an assumption not only made, but followed, and replicated. In some cases, they proclaimed as SAR dog trainers have little knowledge sufficient to teach a dog tricks simple room, much less quickly and accurately sniffing or monitoring of skills, where a human life hangs by a thread.
Even though the ratings are now in place, this is not a substitute for failing to investigate the validity of those securities. You hear the term "qualified instructor" often those with the police and military backgrounds. While this may seem impressive, keep in mind that there is a grade of "standard" to start, so the title is misleading. There may be a good reason that the individual is no longer training and handling outside the police and local military. This reason may be the desire to work in the private sector, or it could be indicative of poor performance.
Now, I'm not trying to paint a bleak picture, there are a number of incredible SAR dog trainers out there. All these great teachers have one thing in common: their control can lead to large success. If you are making the big step to training your dog for SAR, then you really need to make the right decisions. These are the main things to consider when choosing a SAR dog trainer:
1. Experience. There is no substitute and there is no better indicator of the value of a coach. Look for trainers who have years experience in a wide variety of disciplines, not just SAR. Demonstrated ability in more than a single focus, means that the coach will be able to manage a wide range training methods to achieve the ultimate goal. Other potential subjects to look for are: agility, obedience, hunting, or grazing. This experience is easily verified by titles like: Companion Dog (CD, CDX) Agility Dog (AD, MACH, naturally), Schutzhund (I, II, II), to name a few.
2. Real SAR experience is a must. SAR dogs perform a number of tasks that your instructor should have real world experience. They must be well versed with first hand experience on how they lost or fleeing people behave, how the scene should be preserved in search of bodies resulting from criminal acts, etc.
3. The coach must be well versed in all races and able to assess and advise on the limitations and the ability of that race.
4. Separate marketing from proven performance. If your coach is good, you may bet or she will have references. Contact the agencies and request information about specific services that were contracted the coach and his thoughts about coaching services. The fact that they have a website of polished, well-designed brochures, etc, does not mean that you are the best selection, by default. In some cases, a smaller organization may actually yield better references.
The decision for you and your dog, to become in participating in the SAR is a big plus. Take the time to do your homework. Your success and enjoyment will not only be richer, but can actually save a life!
