The Kansas Search and Rescue Dog Association (KSARDA) will be hosting a two day seminar at Top City Dogs covering topics that will be amazing for all attendees regardless of experience levels. Experienced teams will work through training scenarios while spectators watch, ask questions, and maybe even help out the dogs by "getting lost" and "rescued"!
Training Discussion
Learn what it takes to be a reliable SAR team, see first hand what the training entails, and gain knowledge from some of the best trainers and handlers around the country!
Live Find Scenarios
Help the dogs practice finding their missing people by hiding out in the fields.
Human Remains Detection
Learn about how the dogs differentiate between different types of "dead" odors and see how the dogs find exactly what they're looking for - sometimes even underwater!
