โ๏ธ Heavy rains moved our training indoors, but that didnโt stop our team from sharpening our skills. We were at Absolute Control Dog Training (ACDT) in Medford with expert instructor Perry Parks
We started with an informative class on crime scene preservation. There are numerous core steps in securing, protecting and documenting valuable evidence ๐
๐ Next we brought in our K9s for training with K9s Ellie, Luka and Nova for human remains detection (HRD). We put their noses to work using Getxent HRD scent tubes. Through patterning and cognitive behavioral exercises, our K9s continued developing their ability to recognize and locate target odors efficiently
๐ถ Adding to K9 training was agility and basic obedience for all the K9s including Azula, Rex and Bear. You can see the excitement with the dogs as they mastered various obstacles, building confidence and focus along the way
๐ฅ Another important instruction was how to conduct CPR on dogs. Thank you to Meredith with her expertise on general practice veterinary medicine. She also went over supplies in our K9 Medkit Working Dog packs from DogWorx. We are always prepared with these amazing medical kits for our four legged partners when we are out in the field or mission. It is the ultimate first aid kit filled with 100 essential items in a compact lightweight pack, a must have for any dog owner!

At Burlington County K9 Search & Rescue, we are committed to continuous learning, strengthening our skills, and keeping our K9 partners ready when the call comes in. Rain or shine, we train to serve our community ๐พ๐จ
