Extract

This presentation will discuss search dogs in general, their training, and the experience the dog teams had in the Mexico City earthquake. All of the search dogs in Mexico City, those from the U.S. and other countries, are trained similarly and have a similar job to do. What I will do is explain how the dogs are trained and what they can do.

It is my intention to discuss air scenting dogs, their use and training. You have to remember that the dog and the handler are a team and they train together, they live together, and they work together. The discussion will focus only on the dogs' training.
