Being a search dog is more than just searching for people or human remains. Some days it’s about being a public ambassador. It’s showing people what a well trained dog is capable of, it’s meeting and greeting kids, it’s taking new and busy environments in stride. And when we demo, it’s working in all those situations.

My team took part in two different public events in the past week and Kolt and Kenzi rocked it –

All set up and waiting for people to arrive

New place? Lots of people? No problem – I can still focus!

Just love how stable, versatile and willing these two are!
