K-9 Response.com

K-9 Response.com K-9 Response is highly trained volunteer support personnel, K-9 handlers, trainers and their canines. This team is one that works from the heart.

Our volunteer K-9 search teammates have devoted their lives to the training and dedication of helping others with no monetary gain. Our only goal is to bring families back together again and give them the peace of finding their missing loved one. A volunteer K-9 search team consists of a handler, the canine and support personnel. To get the same probability of detection, using people alone, would

take 20 to 30 trained human searchers to be as effective as a single K-9 team. The missing person incident is a race against time. A K-9 search team is most effective when called early in the search but can be an asset days or weeks later. Never hesitate to call early. Our Search Unit would rather arrive at a scene and find the individual safe than to arrive too late to help the person. We deploy only non-aggressive canines to search for a missing person.

Night training gives chance to learn so much and so important as a vast amount of live find urgent tracking needs come to sar in the dark.
What was most interesting is the photo of the light above casting a pattern of light below it.
As a detection trainer this was a perfect opportunity to show and teach what? Who has read this and who knows?

Our Story

A volunteer K-9 search team consists of a handler, the K-9 and support personnel. To get the same probability of detection using people alone would take 20 to 30 trained human searchers to be as effective as a single K-9 team. Our K-9 search teammates have devoted their lives to the training and dedication of helping others with no monetary gain. Our only goal is to bring families back together again and give them the peace of finding their missing loved one. This team is one that works from the heart. The missing person incident is a race against time. A K-9 search time is most effective when called early in the search, but can be an asset days or weeks later. Don't hesitate to call early. Our Search Unit would rather arrive at a scene and find the individual safe as a result of miscommunication than to arrive too late to help the victim. We deploy only non-aggressive dogs to search for a missing person.
