Search & Rescue Dogs

Hi I'm Kaz and am a member of the Lake District SARDA with my tennis ball crazy 3 year old border collie Dottie. Dottie graded as a full search dog in Jan 07 after 14months training and since then she has had 2 finds and lots of fun on callouts. Before Dottie I failed spectacularly with my Labrador Donald whos passion for tasty treats hidden on the body and in rucksacks persuaded me to make sure the reward for Dot was a tennis ball!!! I am the CEO of the Institute for Outdoor Learning and am lucky enough to be able to take Dot to work - where she spends much of her day writing her Dog Blog

Hi Kaz

Lovely picture of Dottie.

I have a Lab and was thinking of going back to treats, until I read about your Donald! So cheers for that.
