We are looking for people to come out and hide for the search dogs while they are training. These people need to be willing to come out for at least a few hours and be willing to run, walk, and hide from the dogs in all different types of scenarios. When found by the dog, they should also be willing to play with the dog per the handlers instructions or offer the dog it's treat reward. It is a lot of fun and a unique experience to help these dogs out!
You'll be provided with a location to walk to in order to "hide" from the canines. The canines will then come find the missing person. Of course, you will never actually be missing, but we always need new people to pretend to be missing. We will be enjoying nature, so dress appropriately with closed toed shoes and comfortable pants. Be sure to bring water, and maybe a good book or electronic device to keep you busy during the down time. All high school students or older are welcome to participate. We rotate parks. If this date doesn't work for you, please see our calender at www.AlphaSar.org or email PR@alphasar.org to see future dates.
