Canine Search Specialist Course
The Connecticut Urban Search and Rescue Team CT TF-1 is sponsoring a Canine Search Specialist Course at the Connecticut Fire Academy September 21-26, 2008 with Type II testing scheduled for September 27, 2008.
The Canine Search Specialist Course teaches the basic skills necessary for a Disaster Canine Team (handler and canine) to work safely and reliably in a collapsed structure environment. The course is also appropriate for the Canine Handler who is “between” dogs, and as such, the course also teaches the handler what to look for in selecting a new canine partner and what skills the canine needs to be able to perform. For the Search Manager, the course teaches what to look for when selecting canine teams, what standards the canine team should be trained to, and the level of support that the teams will need to be successful.
This course is taught by FEMA Instructors.
