Recent Drills and Details

Sunday, February 24th, 2008 was a snowy day in the neighborhood, and the dogs enjoyed "the white stuff" on the ground.  Bonnie, Abby, Nancy and Emma trailed a "missing" 12-year-old that was hold-up in a backyard a few blocks away.  At the end of the drill, ATTIE came out to play "find-it" and demonstrated to all the younger dogs that she still has it.

February 10th, 2008 was BITTER cold and windy, but the team still arrived for training.  Our Missing person target was hidden inside Fischer Park in Towamencin and with the help of VMSC of Lansdale, the team located our hider, twice.
