Area Search (Live/HRD) Challenge
Nov. 4-6. 2022
Clinton, IL
We are excited to bring back our popular Area Search Challenge for Live and HRD K9 teams. This seminar will push you to trust your training and your K9 partner while also helping you to see where you may have weaknesses that you can continue to work on - we all have them! We will be utilizing a 228 acre camp with a variety of challenging terrain and opportunities for some unique scenarios.
This seminar is designed for intermediate to advanced live find area search teams (live and HRD). This is an ideal seminar for area search teams that are trained in live and large source HRD. Although certification is not required it is encouraged.
Scenarios will be primarily double-blind so each team must be at a level where they are ready for these scenarios. If you are not ready for double-blind search scenarios, this is not the seminar for you. This is not a suitable seminar for teams that specialize in forensic or crime scene HRD.
Topics Covered:

Joan Brehm
