Superior Canines: Sharolyn Sievert and Search & Rescue Dogs

In April, Central Lakes Search and Rescue of central Minnesota performed a demo of search and rescue dogs for a search management class at Vermillion Community College in Ely, MN. Instructing that class was Sharolyn Sievert, a CLSAR volunteer and search and rescue dog trainer. In this piece, we learn from Sharolyn about what it takes for a dog to be a successful searcher, different types of disciplines, and hear from several handlers and their dogs out on a practice search.
