Solo and Slim
The thoroughness of any search is almost always dependent on the skills of the search dog leading it. #k9
What is a “PetTracker”
When I started, everyone else with K9’s called themselves Pet Detectives. I actually was a licensed private detective, and I still decided not to use the term. Instead, I preferred to call it what it was: Pet Tracking, so we included that in the name. Almost immediately, people started calling us Pet Trackers. It didn’t take long for the competition to catch on and start referring to themselves as pet trackers, which was always confusing to people seeing as how they don’t offer tracking. To me, the K9 will always be what the “tracker” part of “PetTracker” stands for." Let us know what you think in the comments! #pettracker
It’s going to be a wild summer!

Happy Birthday Slim! 🎉🎂🥳🎈 I think she already has the greatest gift a girl could ask for.
Puppy breath!
Somewhere in there is the next K9 hero.
I’m hearing chatter about people using psychics to find their missing pets. Would you use one? Who would you use? Let us know in the comments!
Someone asked a great question… “Do you need to train the search dogs to work around the drone”
The answer is yes if you are going to be taking off and landing in close proximity. Also one might be called in during the search and fly over head. This will most likely catch the dogs attention and be difficult to get them back on task if they have never experienced it before.
They should be trained around drones just like any other distraction a search dog might encounter during a search.
Our training around drones goes all the way back to the Trigger days when DJI first introduced the 4 prop UAS. I did most of the training just by introducing it during the training sessions and keeping it fun. Stay safe out there everyone!
This new spot light will make it easier to ID heat signature’s in complete darkness. Welcome to the future! #dji #thermal
