First (two) K9 Presentation
We were invited to represent our team at the SPCA Event (WOOFSTOCK) in Oswego. Once we got there and while building up our stand we were told that we are also supposed to do a presentation. We were not prepared since we were just told right there and then and had to improvise.
We told them what it takes to be a search dog, a little obedience, and then sent her out to search. Because of the great feedback we received we were asked to do a second search presentation. My partner went out to hide while Indra waited in the car. I sent her out to search, she first went to the camera guy came back but did not indicate and went back out and then found Connie. In the first search you can see with how much impact she's jumping into me. She already knocked me over a couple of times and it was the first and last time that I used the jump as an indication. Next dog WILL bark  Anyhow, here ya go: Not too bad for a dog whose only doing it for nine months to actually perform like that in front of an entire audience including dogs, all that noise and different smells.

She does, she really does. That was my very first, completely unprepared presentation. I've never done that in front of an audience. But with team-work we pulled it off.
We are going to sit down and work out a presentation that we can use when we go somewhere. We've got some great pictures too  You can find it all here, it's public so anyone can look at it https://www.facebook.com/pages/Suppo...29434030461933 |

Mrs.K- I thought you were German? Maybe you just lived in Germany? Haha- I was totally expecting a very heavy accent- but I heard none. That video was fantastic, I've never seen a S&R demo. Indra was seriously fast and focused! Is *that* what you call drive??
 Really good stuff!

We had a lot of real life situations lately and she proofed herself every single time. I was walking her when a drunk guy collapsed in the middle of the road. He hit the road face forward (never seen so much blood. When I came home I was literally covered in it) and some drunks stood around there, arguing, yelling. Then the Cops came out, Ambulance, I gave first aid while Indra was right there. Laying next to me, relaxing. A couple of days ago, we ran into a herd of deers before I sent her out. We waited until they went away, then I took her off the leash and she searched. It is the desire to hunt the ball and subject that overrides anything and that is the drive you should be looking for in a search dog. |

One of our dogs is actually from a member on this forum. Dawnandjr gave him to my teammate for free and he will be trained as a Cadaver Dog. He is doing absolutely great. He settled in, and is getting tons of socialization. The improvement he's done within a couple of weeks is amazing. He's doing very well obedience wise as well. Blitzzard vom Little House (Blitz) on the left, Indra in the middle and Tazer (another young dog) on the right. Last edited by Mrs.K; 09-11-2011 at 08:39 PM. |

Well, I throughly enjoyed the video. Like I said, I've never seen anything like that. And Indra clearly loves it!
