Teaching the Recall/Refind to Live Find Dogs with Michelle Metzner Hunt-Find-Alert: K9 Search and Rescue Community

Michelle Metzner joins us on HFA to discuss how to teach the Recall/Refind to Live Find Dogs. Michelle has been a SAR handler for over 30 years and has fielded multiple search dogs over the past 3 decades. Michelle is a leader on the K-9 Emergency Response Team based in Wisconsin and is also a K-9 Handler for Wisconsin Task Force 1. Additionally, she has served as a lead K-9 evaluator for the National Association for Search and Rescue (NASAR) for many years.



If you are looking to train your Area Search dog to perform a Recall/Refind this episode is the playbook that you need. Michelle takes that time to explain the process step by step and gives handlers all the information they need to start, finish, and maintain a solid Recall/Refind. Additionally, we spend time going through common issues with the Recall/Refind and how to successfully resolve issues that may arise along the way. If you want to teach or troubleshoot your dog's Recall/Refind, this is the episode for you!

As an added bonus, if you believe that humor is an integral part of SAR, you'll really enjoy this episode:-)
