I have a very high drive high energy lab pitbull mix and keeping him fulfilled has been a marathon but I feel like if I could teach him some search and rescue things that it would help me to tire him out every day because he loves to use his nose. If I'm honest he is really not a pet quality dog and the difficulty level was obvious as a small puppy and since we were the owners of his mother it was up to me to find the proper home and I just never found it. He's 5 years old now and although he has been managed and never developed any bad behaviors because I've done my best I've just never saw him truly full filled. He has to be managed more than our other dogs and it's restricting in some ways. but the more I know the more I do so I will keep learning and growing and helping him to do so also. He wasn't the dog that I wanted or expected but he was the dog that I needed in order to grow.
Hey, enjoyed the video🙌! I'm not really sure if it is the best time to ask but, I was wondering if I could help you create a better distribution by working on post-production like better storytelling through Edits, Keywords, think catchy intros and outros, or even some engaging short clips! Would love to chat if you're interested and keep creating good content:)
A $1500 kevlar harness? That's insane. Get a good hunter harness for a couple of hundred dollars - comes standard with a chest protector. Sounds like a bunch of unnecessary bells and whistles.
Thanks! And we use this for scenarios during our wilderness first aid and first responder courses. This video was made for our instructors to further enhance the experience for our students.
I’ve always been curious about training a police apprehension dog to be dual trained into search in rescue, since I am a police officer and a paramedic myself
Is your dog already active with your police unit? Usually those dogs have a pretty rough job already and it seems like it might be a little much to do search and rescue if he's already a police K9. And where is your police K-9 while you're doing paramedic stuff that just doesn't make very much sense? I don't see a police units or the K-9 trainer placing a canine with somebody who has multiple jobs in
Ive never understand why Radio Manufacteurs makers dumped the 25.000-88.000 mhz commercial vhf lowband fm so quickly , it has fantastic properties over VHF Hi-Band out in the open or hilly terrain. Think Moto USA used to make them. As for the antenna changing, you have to bear in mind most helicals are typically -6dB loss (roughly) So that 1Watt input,only going to radiate around 0.25W ERP! at 5w input,around 1.25W ERP In real terms thats about 1 S-Point. Ive been doing tests with Tactical tape antennas they do work well with a gooseneck extender,those maybe another option. "Height is Might"-with VHF HI/UHF on fringes area. Great vidio,imformitive! 👍Rob.P
Thanks for the helpful demo! Would this technique be helpful while in an area with a lot of tall trees? Would a signal be able to effectively reach a person on the ground or even through a window? I'm curious who's attention I could be able to in fact get. Is it easier to signal someone in the air? You do mention being able to signal to a person on the other side of a canyon so I'm thinking in that case there is a large clearing that makes it easier to signal. Thanks again.
I have my own breed of Redbone mix thats stays inside my safety zone as these dogs are trained for dangerous animals. As for balls lol they aint retrievers and they can climb stuff that you cant. My dogs never lose trails and they have a brain not some hyped up dog that gets hurt in the field so clearly you rescue people dont want people like me making you look bad so dont worry I wont waste my time or money on your qualifications. When I move to Alaska and their search and rescue fails then I will enter the search on my own and I live for trailing and rather be in the field where my dogs and I belong. Reason I was looking into this is my local search and rescue team failed to find my freind and even the thermal helicopter failed and when they gave up after stopping me guess what I found her no thanks to search and rescue believing in their dog.Mine had no problem finding her. So yeah I wont be joining any team then.
One comment about the pulse oximeter as it pertains to darker skin is that they've actually been shown to overestimate pO2 compared to lighter skin tones. So people should keep that in mind.
I love this work I believe without a doubt my dog and his breed would be an excellent fit for this type of work my dog is a Texas blue lacy bred all around hunting, tracking, baying, retrieving, hearing, and a nose for scent that unbelievable, excellent with people and othe dogs highly agile and athletic can reach top speeds running 35 miles an hour can have the ability to jump 6 ft straight up my boy has done that in fact we call him the bullet males weighing approximately 40 to 50 lb females approximately 30 to 40 lb I believe in Colorado they have been used as SAR dogs it's just not a highly known breed of dog, I would love to learn SAR especially with this breed
Not a first aid supply or equipment, but I always carry a GPS when I hike or backpack and a communication device. With the GPS you can give responders coordinates to assist them to locate the victim quickly and if necessary give to air evacuation crews. Some GPS systems also assist in communications via satellite, useful if cell phone towers are not accessible.
100%. No matter how much gear or education you have there will always be the potential for situations that can't be handled within the group - being able to call for help is lifesaving in many cases. Communicating where you are is an essential part of this.
I’m about to start an AKC Lab puppy, but I also know that its going to take time and knowledge. My Dad has run labs for excellent field trials, but I’m not much of a “hunter” unless we’re hungry. Thank you for the insertion knowledge base, and hopefully we’ll see you in a few. DW; FF/EMT
Excellent video! Thank you! I've send this to our starting sar volunteers with our organisation. Is It possible you could make a video about Binoculars usage in sar? I'm looking for a set but having trouble to find a quality pare thank you!
What I just learned about most dogs? Is that Most All Dogs truly Want & Need Goals in THEIR lives, just like humans . There is a channel I watch where a couple has a doggie daycare, of every type, size & personality of dogs. These dogs are normal household dogs, every single one of them is put to the test of having soooo much fun!!? The ones who owners claim are lazy, love sitting around All day, ones who only want to cuddle, etc. Yet, go to this Daycare, where they do EVERYTHING from hiking, walking, have B- day parties, play fetch , have a warm pool & a cool pool, play games with a zip line toy that goes super Fast!! And Alot more, yet at end of the day?? Most of these dogs....want more, they aren't Lazy, tired of life, they Dont Want to sit around All day!! Its their owners who Are LAZY an dont want to do ANYTHING, how dare so many owners BLAME their Poor pets fur being LAZY? When its their Owners and I admit when younger I was a total fool! Thank goodness I saw this awesome channel, Doggy Daycare Farm, It really opened my eyes to just how much spunk, energy and Love fur Life All Dogs have 💕 💯 💙 ✌
I think this raises a good point. Adding an animal to your family is a big responsibility and if you dont have the time or ability to give the animal a reasonably good life, maybe it isnt for you right now. This is especially true with high energy working breed dogs.
@@basemedical5719 All she/he did was dunk on their owners as fat & lazy degenerates blaming then as derelict pet owners. These people paid for a snarky gossiping judgmental harpy to slander and degrade them after paying them to ethically provide care they couldn't.
Luke who runs the farm is a dog trainer and he does awesome. All of those dogs are rescue dogs and most of them had aggression issues and he was able to rehabilitate them and now has a pack of 21 dogs that run loose together along with two wild-born dingos. But back too the subject, they may not necessarily need a goal, just because that would require complex thinking and they don't have it. They need a job however, at least most breeds do. And they all need daily excercise to be balanced. There are a few companion breeds that are just fine without it. However we as humans should always have a goal to meet with our dogs because it keeps us growing.😊 The right dog will teach you more about yourself than you would have ever found out on your own. You almost never get the dog you want, you always get the dog that you need. So if you're feeling frustrated with your pet then look within because growth is required of you first. Your dog will follow
Thank you for your content! As a ground sar this is excellent content! Would you be open for a collaboration in my podcast? Kind regards Robin Secure Mindset
SAR dogs are total badass Chads of the dog kingdom, If SAR's (at least German Sheppard males) were a human they would own every female in a twenty mile radius. I have on several occasions repelled 90 deg faces with My SAR partner dangling on a line behind me, we have been on missions lasting only 30 min to a week at a time, in the worst NE USA weather conditions that can be thrown at us, and being on call 24/7 we both loved it. He was trained for both live and cadaver SAR, although not registered he just had "it". Unfortunately, he passed away last year. Me being a volunteer Fire Fighter, Medic, avid outdoors-man and his GSD hunt, herd, work and never quit until he won instinct and his intelligence, we were a perfect mach. One of the most important things as a K9 handler is rewarding the dog when He / She finds the subject. You need to reward the dog even when the rescue ends up being a recovery mission (Victim is dead).
There were if there were enough iron in a heat pack to affect an avalanche transceiver shouldn't it also affect a compass? Just for fun I pulled out my compass and a two pack of Little Hotties hand warmers. When I wave the compass over the hand warmer pack there was absolutely no movement of the needle.
Great comment. I have had very mixed result & inconsistent results with this issue sometimes causing huge beacon problems, others with no perceptible issue. Need to do more research - im unsure if there are multiple types of chemicals in different hand warmers or it is an antenna alignment issue or something else. I haven't played around with a compass with these, but if they have a lot of iron, they should interact with the compass. I did read that iron oxide is less magnetic than iron, so a used heat pack *should* be less of an issue for a compass than a fresh one. Maybe a video idea if we ever get winter in Colorado -Dr D.
Its worth a try but in our experiments it doesn't work as well as you might think, so we did not include it in this lesson. Dr Durkin calls this technique the Lloyd Dobler maneuver. If you do or dont get the reference: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-S5Y8tFQ01OY.html
My guess is that your telescopic antenna is a 5/8 wave antenna when extended. When collapsed it is non resonant and you have a very high SWR and the radio rolls back the power to protect the finals.
Disagree on the uncontrollable drive, I want absolute control over my dog at all times. What you want is endurance, I've been on a track for 4 days before with 16 hour days on our own. You need a dog that has the physical and mental endurance.
How are those two things different in practice? How would a dog find the motivation to stay on a track for 16 hours a day if their drive isn’t borderline “uncontrollable” (which is clearly just hyperbole and a synonym for “intense” or “relentless” here)?
Thanks for the video you guys ! BUT! 😅 ......As someone genuinely looking to get into this field I must say ... the interviewer was -AMAZING- and ask -EVERY - question I (personally) have had thus far .... however .. 'the handler' has made sure to throw in every single negative aspect to every different situation possible in this field. Almost In Hopes like that she might turn people away . That's a major vibe. However , Maybe she was just nervous with the interview / camera etc tho . I'm not good in those type situations either so I'm trying to look at all aspects🙂
Hey there. Thanks for this great video. I found it very informative and just what I need right now. I have just recently joined a Search and Rescue team called SARA and am in my probationary period. Its very frustrating as now it's going to be a while before I'm operational as so much to cover still! Training understandably has been cancelled and they are trying to do as much as possible remotely where they can. Thanks so
