Brian, Carla & K9 Squirrel, Sarah & K9 Niko and Denise & K9 Eva all attended the NAPWDA Search & Rescue Workshop, September 23 - 27, 2013 at Camp Ripley, MN. We all had a great week, and spent much of our time under the tutelage of Dr. Stephen “Doc” Mackenzie, Master Trainer for Air Scenting. Both Carla & K9 Squirrel and Denise & K9 Eva achieved NAPWDA Search and Rescue Area Search certification. Doc helped us understand “back-chaining", a method of teaching K9s. This method has given Sarah a new understanding of how to calm her very high drive puppy (K9 Niko).
