Travel for training and tax perks
Posted: Tue Mar 25, 2008 11:59 amHi all,
I am Peter Sutton, a Station Officer with the Fire & Rescue Service in Western Australia. I am also a dog handler but manage the Urban Search and Rescue Canine Section here. We currently have eight dog teams (10 dogs) in training to the New Zealand Canine Readiness Evaluation Process - we use a NZ Senior Asessor, WA Police Assessor and one of our two USAR Veterinarians.
I am looking for interested handlers/trainers in the USAR field who may be coming to Australia, particuarly Perth WA to join us in a training workshop. Obsviously, this would be a 'you scratch our back' and 'we scratch yours' scenario. You know what it is like when you travel, don't know people and don't know places. This is a way to make your holiday plan work well.
Only qualified or at least experienced trainers would be suitable. We would look at providing accomodation for your trip, a tour of our lovely state, possibly a workshop in our winery region etc.
Any thoughts on such a plan - maybe this could be expanded some??
