The document discusses dog breeding for military, police, and search and rescue animals. It explains that certain breeds like German Shepherds are ideally suited for this work. Training begins with puppies and focuses on making it play, starting with easy hide and seek games. Over time, the training gets more complex in different areas and weather. Proper dog breeding is also important, as it produces dogs that take better to the training and are of greater service to those who rely on them.

It seems like many people take for granted the incredible skill and talent that it
takes to be a search and rescue dog. These dogs are agile, smart, resourceful,
and extremely disciplined. It takes a combination of good dog breeding, good
dog training, and a handler who will do what it takes to make the dog the best
it can be. Police, military, and search and rescue teams count on their canine
partners to save lives and catch criminals, so they need the absolute best of the
best. Here is a guide to the work that goes into providing the best dogs for
those tasks.

Choosing the Right Dog
While it’s the first step, going wrong at this stage could pull the whole effort
down. The right dogs must be chosen for this vocation. That means only certain
breeds are considered. German Shepherds, such as the ones bred at Lara’s
Canine Solutions in New Braunfels, are one of the ideal breeds for this kind of
work. As well, the dog must be focused and determined. During training, the dog
must be able to spend long hours trying to win rewards in all sorts of conditions
and weather. Dog training for search and rescue is best done with puppies, since
they can start the training as early as possible.

Let the Training Begin
Search and rescue dogs are trained for many types of situations. Some are
trained to track live people, some for cadavers, and some are trained
specifically for work in certain situations. For search and rescue of a living
person, the full training process can take up to a year, depending on how
much time is invested. Dog training works best if it’s treated like play, and it’s
no different for these elite dogs. It would typically start with the puppy
playing hide and seek games that are as easy as possible. When starting out,
the trainer will make sure that they are upwind of the dog, so that the scent
will more easily hit the dog’s nose, for instance.

Moving Forward
As the dog gets older, the training gets more complicated. It will happen in larger
areas, and with the trainer using more difficult spots to hide. They will go to
different types of terrain and in different weather. Even at the later stages, the
training is still based on fun. When the dog is successful, the trainer will get
really excited and play with the toy they are using as a reward. The dog will learn
to find the toy, or the person, using the scents they pick up from the air or from
the ground.

How Dog Breeding Plays a Part
While it’s true that a dog’s natural instinct plays a part, dog breeding is just as
important. Dogs that are bred specifically for this kind of work will take to the
training better and be of more service to those men and women in the field who
rely on them. A well-bred dog for search and rescue will save lives. It’s that
simple.

The next time you’re out in San Antonio you might see a service dog helping the
police. You may also from time to time read a story about a bomb-sniffing dog
overseas, or even about a person rescued from a tight spot because of a dog. Just
remember, it takes a lot of hard work, training, and good dog breeding to get the
best of the best out in the field.
