Training

Michigan Search and Rescue trains one weeknight each week and on a weekend day once or twice a month.  Other handlers and those interested in joining a team are welcome to join us.

For those considering getting involved in canine search and rescue, we encourage attendance at several training sessions prior to making the commitment. 

Search and rescue often requires driving long distances to participate in training and many hours of training in all types of weather conditions.  In addition, many hours must be spent training on your own.  Searches are rarely convenient and the canine handler must be willing to drop everything to participate in a search.

If you are interested in joining us for a training session or in exploring opportunities in search and rescue, please e-mail us at:  MichiganSAR@hotmail.com
