Rhedyn Rocket Search Dog

No training this weekend as we are under house arrest due to Rali Ceredigion coming past our house in Cwm Elan. As you can see, Rhedyn was thrilled by the experience.

A busy day at the Royal Welsh Show today, with a surprise visit from Princess Anne!
Rhedyn was the star attraction with over 350 people coming to say hello and give him a tickle. It's hard work being so handsome. 😄

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'. 😀
