Ridgeside K9 has assisted with many search and rescue dogs in training. Our assistance is in two aspects: establishing full off-leash control and environmental exposure and neutrality. Ridgeside K9 does not teach odor recognition, alert behavior, or search behaviors.
When working with search and rescue dogs, three-weeks of training is needed to focus on off-leash control and to expose the dog daily to new stressful environments and ensure neutrality and compliance in new and unknown environments.
