Rescue dog test

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

As rescue dogs (team) checks a series of be tests indicated that a dog as a rescue dog qualify. Only teams of dog and dog handler who have successfully passed rescue dog tests can be used as full members in rescue dog teams; Teams that are still in training can, however, take part in missions as helpers.

In addition to the operational tests, in which teams are tested for their skills for a (real) rescue dog mission, there are also sports tests. In the sporting tests (for example at VDH and FCI ), only the performance of the teams (dog and dog handler) is checked in the search and not the operational knowledge of the dog handler (for example in medical service, tactics and security).

A distinction is made between different examination levels in different branches (subject areas); Depending on the organization providing the training, the content and procedure of the exam may differ slightly in detail; however, the basic structure and requirements are largely standardized.
