My Grandparents always had German Shepherds and my earliest memories was how every single one would instantly gravitate towards me and my siblings on the floor naturally, almost assuming a kind of guarding role. They are drawn towards children and are so intelligent and sweet natured. Wonderful breed. Great video!
I was literally hooked to this video, an outstanding and informative piece of content. I really enjoyed how you highlighted each dog and showed the different ways they search. Anyone; first responder or not can learn from this video, really enjoyed it guys, keep up the great work!
This is my favorite video you've made yet. As a SAR Tech, I always enjoy watching other teams work. Great job to these guys. They know there stuff. Glad to see someone highlight the importance of a highly trained SAR team. Hope to see more content like this in the future.
The only maddening thing is that these wonderful people (and dogs) have to buy/pay for their own equipment. That's just ridiculous. The least society could do would be to compensate these folks for any equipment they require to SAVE FREAKING LIVES. These are true heroes!
The GSD looks exactly like mine. She’s 1. I haven’t trained her for this yet but she is so strongly scent driven that I think I’d be doing the world a disservice by not at least speaking to a trainer on how to go about getting her up to speed to be a SAR doggo. I’m in PA too so thank you so much for posting this!
Extra thanks to the lady who taught her dog HRD. Everyone wants to find the lost 4 year old but could you imagine finding a body and your training is only to find a body.
Thank you for watching. We are just wondering why these videos don’t seem to get the same amount of views. We try to give good and accurate information about different skills and teams through out the country and world
@@HeroesNextDoor That is odd. Maybe a lot of the viewers just want to see firehouse and fire trucks? I think this is great though. Search like this is highly specialized and it mostly outside of the realm of local FDs. The faster a team such as this is called the better the odds are of locating the lost person.
We aren't sure why this one isn't more popular either...but we still thank you for making it and sharing the effort we are putting in. It's an excellent video.
as a part of S&R squad in another country, I know how hard it is, to search people like that. this team is very good! Good luck to you brothers and sisters!
I work on a Sar team in Florida we are very busy, probably the busiest in the state of Florida. Most of our calls are in the city and we usually get called within an hour of law enforcement arriving on scene. In addition to missing person calls we also do many medical standbys throughout the year on various events throughout our county. And we train once a week and a full Saturday of every month at a minimum we have specialty teams that also train additionally throughout the month in addition to the regular training
And I think it's pretty cool that you actually did a video on a search and rescue team it's one of the things that I was hoping that you would do eventually. Whenever we get our new station we've completely outgrown our current station and in the next couple years we will have to get a new station because we have so many vehicles and apparatus and equipment right now we have completely overgrown it would be awesome to have you come down and do a station cribs.
Great video. Great representation of a SAR K9 team. As for the Air Scent K9 like the one in the video, a bell is nice, but an Astro GPS collar works great because you can see exactly where they are on your GPS. My Belgain Malinois ranges out of view and it's nice to see where he is and see his tracks especially if he stops and shows interest in something.
I was very interested in doing this with my current dog but after talking to the local group as well as others on various FB groups, I was given very good info on why i would not do well physically at this time even though my dog has the ability. Instead I use her for fun in finding people I know in different places and utilize camping trips and hikes for personal searches and leave the life or death ones up to the professionals
Hey, Member and K9 handler for PaWSAR here. Basically, some handlers can "push" their dogs towards something they want if they really want to do a specific thing, but most including myself don't, and allow the dog to show us what they are naturally best at.
I have a Dutch shepherd who is SAR trained I got her after her owner passed I’ve been doing research and I’m thinking about getting her re certified and getting my self certified I think we would both enjoy it…
The dogs used for a manhunt would be different. That's because once the subject is found security and safety becomes the issue. The way the dogs' search would be similar but again once the person is found is the real difference.
@@HeroesNextDoor I mean the host (you?). You're a natural improviser! IDK it just stuck out to me how easily you were able to keep the discussion going when talking with the teams and acting the role of "lost man" on the fly. I've taken classes before and I couldn't help thinking... this guy is good. I bet he'd have a lot of fun with improv or even acting classes :)
How does a civilian help with Search & Rescue? Is there some recognized certification that is needed? I tried to sign up to be alerted if there is a local Amber or Silver alert, such as for urban or forest searching, and every police/fire either tells me they do not offer anything, or I get no responses.
I am not really sure, you can probably volunteer for the job with your local S&R. Search and rescue don’t need to be in the Police or Fire Departments, rather it can be in like a civilian made organization.
Is this lost dude for real? 🤦🏼♀️ What type of dad takes a baby hiking without a baby bag, and no jacket, no snacks/water. Ohhh I would be a pissed off momma bear.
I wish who can read this comment! If you have extra gear or suprlus ppe’s or extra medical supplies we badly need those things so we can have a proper gears and equipments! Im a fire emt volunteer here in philippines
Just so everyone that isn’t familiar knows. Those may be gps collars. But e collars aren’t shock collars. An e collar is like a tins unit. Very low level electricity stimulating muscles. Not high electricity shocks like a taser. So at a low level the e collar is like putting your hand on them and pulling a little. Or a little pull on the leash. Hey stop being distracted and get in task. You know better. It’s not for teaching. It’s literally an E leash more than an E collar when used correctly. When they’re a little distracted. That’s all. Please learn don’t just go with the stigmas and common rhetoric. Go learn. For the dogs. We need these tools. It’s idiots miss using them that make them looking so awful. But big bold dogs need more than treats and yes to learn. They need more direction and structure. They’re not a little froofroo toy dog. For their sake. Please look to learn the most you can before forming an opinion on training tools. They’re is a ton of BAD info and worse practices.
Very true. Our team has GPS collars for downloading the tracks for later analysis and mapping of the search area. Well trained K9s will not need constant correction, therefore will not need shock collars. Thanks for the comment and clarification.
Very true plus a lot of people knocking E collars are people who will only spend 30$ max on a quick fix and are shocked when a cheap product is cheap, as far as I'm concerned only high grade hunting and gps collars should be produced and sold in the first place, if someone can't put in the money and time to learn to use it then the dog is better off not having it at all rather than some 15$ Petco 'corrector' collar. My coonhound has been saved twice by her E-collar once with a feral boar on a hike and once when a giant wasp nest was disturbed

Thanks. We are curious to why these videos don’t get as many views as we hoped. All training days are supposed to be informative and fun to watch.
Lol i got your advertisement before this video started
I will relay your comments to the team. Thanks for the kind words!
I was with SAR years ago and we had to qualify each year by going 4 miles with a 40 lb pack under 40 minutes. I usually did it in 35.
This was a video regardless where you live everyone needs to watch this very important video.Thank you for this video
I was brought to this video by suddenly thinking, "How do they train rescue dogs?" Thank you for posting it.
Thank you for watching.
Love those pups!
This is my favorite video you've made yet. As a SAR Tech, I always enjoy watching other teams work. Great job to these guys. They know there stuff. Glad to see someone highlight the importance of a highly trained SAR team. Hope to see more content like this in the future.
i had a question how do you start to become a handler? is it hard to join?
The only maddening thing is that these wonderful people (and dogs) have to buy/pay for their own equipment. That's just ridiculous. The least society could do would be to compensate these folks for any equipment they require to SAVE FREAKING LIVES. These are true heroes!
Awesome to see how these dogs and crews work together to find people. Great video!

You should check out Whitewater Fire Department in Whitewater WI. Smaller department that covers about 25,000 people but has a lot of equipment
You all are true inspiration
This is extraordinary! Love this team.
A real special group for sure
Great job guys--fun to watch a great team work!

We are glad you liked it. Please share it with your friends and help us grow so we can bring you more. Maybe even come see your team too
How does your team decide what tracking is best for your type of dog? Do you try it all and then decide which one your dog is best at?
Excellent video! As a Dutch volunteer sar operator there is so much value in this!
Excelente trabajo y éxitos futuros,un saludo desde Cuba

My Belgain Malinois ranges out of view and it's nice to see where he is and see his tracks especially if he stops and shows interest in something.
Our handlers do have Astros, but the dogs always come back and keep check with the handlers. They won't go outside of visual/calling range.
Fantastic video! Great job showing how the different types of specialty tracking work. And they are some beautiful puppies.
Thanks. We really need to figure out something to work together again
Hit us back up and we can do it again...maybe cover IC or some of our cross training with local agencies.
As a former search tech its good to see how other teams around the world work and train.
Love how the dogs have their certifications😂 the doggo stats are looking good💪
Great video guys! Very interesting.
There is a new little star on the HND channel!

Amazing dogs that's all I have to say
Little guy's ready for some pancakes.
this is so amazing
That’s really smart idea with rubber bands for footprint
This video is very insightful. I plan on having my puppy go through this once she’s old enough!

Lancaster county!!! That’s where I live. I was thinking about joining!!

Did they talk at all about how they decide which type of tracking their dog will specialize in?

I just got my first dog for search and rescue he is a bloodhound I got to start training him
Cool
Pretty Cool
Thanks for watching
There is a difference between search and rescue and a manhunt.
In the first instance you want to be found
In the second, not so much
The dogs used for a manhunt would be different. That's because once the subject is found security and safety becomes the issue. The way the dogs' search would be similar but again once the person is found is the real difference.
Good video.
Thanks for watching
Hello from Texas! Can you make a career doing SAR or is it just volunteer?
I to am from Pennsylvania. I get my bloodhound next weekend her name will be Luanne. I am hoping to become SAR certified.
Sounds like you're a king of the hill fan. Hope you're enjoying your Bloodhound.
I’m really interested in learning more about this for West Michigan area for our nine month old dog
Keep us informed on how it goes
100% Awsome

Is the radio you had a HT1250?
good question I have no idea, check out the video on the trailers themselves maybe we answer that question.
Yes, it is in fact a Motorola ht-1250 vhf. You know your radios.
