How do you train a dog for search and rescue?

  • The general approach to training a dog for search and rescue is no different from training a dog to complete any other task. The first step is to figure out which reward the dog will work for, and always immediately reward the dog when he does the right thing. Dogs don't do charity -- they'll only work for the reward.

Present the object to the dog and have him sniff it. Have a friend hold the dog or attach his leash to an immovable object (or have him Sit and Stay if he has rock solid training). Now place the object in a place where the dog can see it. Point to the object and tell him "Go find" in an excited voice.
