Trained for search and rescue work in Colorado, Wyoming and Utah. Often accompanied owner on geological fieldwork. Red vest primarily intended to prevent him from being shot by a rancher.
A well trained SAR dog is a sight to behold. The dog can evenly maneuver the most difficult of terrain with the grace of a mountain goat all the while looking for a trapped or hidden human being. This type of work is often done on the fly, at the drop of the hat, with little advanced warning. It requires a talented dog and a special handler willing to invest the time and effort.
All dogs need to be exercised everyday in some form or fashion. The most common method is through the walk around the neighborhood, but is a short walk around the block enough exercise for your particular dog?
If you’re not directly familiar with clicker training, you might be a little confused on what exactly this style of training is all about. It is a newer style (although has been known and used for many decades) of training in the sense that it took a while for dog trainers to really hook onto it.
