Long time no post!
The team has been a bit busy and we've had some weather issues as to be expected this time of year in Indiana.
To get you caught up.
Pictures from a Pack Demonstration Night to help our newest members check out what materials we carry all the time and what is also required of the NASAR SAR TECH II exam they are preparing for.
Photos from our footstep tracking lesson Sunday February 15th.
Measuring the stride.
Here are some photos from today.
Steve and his dog Blue ready to go to work.
A very well behaved Blue looking longingly at some geese in the pond. Key word: LOOKING
Good Boy Blue
Tanner playing with Brian in the woods. Brian is the BEST at tugging if you ask Tanner.
Brian rewarding a very focused Blue who is learning search very quickly!

Training Log 01-18-09
We had a bit of a heat wave at training today. :) The high made it into the 30s. At least with the sun out, it didn't feel as cold as it has been lately. In any case, we had some creature comforts today at training since our Sunday sessions are longer.
I brought some coffee to share and Greg started a little fire to warm our fingers and toes between training sessions. If we had just had access to a restroom, we would have been very spoiled.
K9 Tanner makes his way back to handler Danielle after finding his subject Brian. Tanner is a refind dog which means he will find the subject and then return to his handler to indicate that he has found someone. If you look in the upper right corner of the photo, you can see Brian hiding. Shortly before we arrived at Brian's hiding spot, a Coyote and multiple Deer crossed right in front of Brian. Must have been a really cool sight.
Once Tanner 'refinds' the subject, he is greatly rewarded with tug and a game of fetch.
K9 Tanner and handler Danielle had a good day. After this longer session, Tanner went on to find subject John whom he'd never met. It's always great to have fresh subjects to ensure that the dogs don't get used to finding the same team members time after time.
Trailing K9 Nina makes her way between 3 subjects and ties each of them to their respective possessions.
Greg and Spotter Kathy make their way to find subject John with K9 Tala.
Can you find the articles hiding in this photo?
K9 Cooper Can!
We had a really great session today. We have several new folks with us who also had good sessions including K9 Brady; a awesome Boxer puppy showing huge potential on his first visit and K9 Blue that is really enjoying the 'hide and seek' runaways. It truly is amazing to see the dogs learn and progress and really enjoy search work that can provide essential aid to our community when called upon.
