Rhedyn Rocket Search Dog

Search 4: Air scenting, returning to indicate the find by barking, then shuttling between body and handler until he gets his toy.

Search 3: A 'C' search. The dog starts using ground scent but learns to short cut by using air scent. Not quite perfectly demonstrated here... 😄

Search 2: An 'unseen runaway'. Hiding the dog's eyes so he doesn't know where the body has gone.

A lovely evening in Cwm Gwdi doing a search dog demonstration to Brecon Mountain Rescue Team. We showed the progression of how we build the elements of the dog learning to search. Thanks to Ceny and Trystan coming along and being my 'bodies' and cameramen.

Today we went to St Athan to do some training with the Coastguard helicopter. It's important the search dogs are comfortable with the sights, smells and sounds that are involved, and can safely get in and out with full power on. Happy to say Rhedyn did very well, but wasn't overly impressed with his new 'doggles'. 😀

Delicious doggy ice-cream treat after working on a real search yesterday.

Another quick search to fill in a bit of waiting time during the call-out.

Training at RAC corner today, followed by a call-out to a broken ankle on Corn Du. Busy day.

Had a small amount of sleep before an 11pm tonic-clonic, twitching-whining, pacing seizure. 10 mg of diazepam given. This video is 20 mins after he first started. Took an hour before he was settled enough to go back to bed. Finger's crossed, that's it for the night...🤞
