"Blue Flame Confidant": Search and rescue dogs and trainers' "comrades -in -arms"

China Youth Network Jinan, August 10th (Reporter Song Yan) On August 9, the reporter visited China to rescue the Shandong search and rescue dog mobile professional detachment. The people did not arrive. Fire search and rescue dogs are the "silent comrades" of firefighters. They are proficient in "eighteen martial arts" and help fire rescue workers search for survivors at various dangerous disaster scenes. They are dogs and soldiers!

How did search and rescue dogs become "soldiers" from "dogs"? What training? According to reports, the training of search and rescue dogs is generally in accordance with the principle of "from simple to complex". In China's rescue of the Shandong Search and Rescue Dog Motor Detachment, the reporter witnessed the "box search" training. I saw the instructor: "Search!" The search and rescue dog rushed out quickly, put his nose beside each box, and quickly search for the smell of "trapped". After determining the box, the box began to bark on the box. After opening, it was found that the "trapped person" was indeed inside. The trainer told reporters that "box search" is mainly to train search and rescue dogs' understanding and familiarity with human smell, so that the dog can search the trapped person and report to the police at the first time. "In daily training, we will put some meat, balls and other interference, and then train. Of course, there are rewards after the search and rescue dog training is completed," the trainer said.

"Not every dog ​​can become a qualified search and rescue dog." The female coach Yang Yudi introduced that the training of search and rescue dogs usually take 1 and a half years to 3 years, and go through child training, assessment, initial training, re -training, etc. Series test. And a qualified search and rescue dog still takes re -training and examinations every year, and can only continue to work every year.

Behind an excellent search and rescue dog, there must be an excellent search and rescue dog instructor. From the moment the trainer just distributed the search and rescue dog, he had to invest a lot of effort. In daily training, simple actions such as "sitting", "lying", and "Li" require countless repeated exercises. Only between trainers and search and rescue dogs will gradually develop tacit understanding to achieve the "absolute obedience" of search and rescue dogs. Training effect. "Training search and rescue dogs, just like raising a child, training through various methods such as guidance, correction, and rewards." The trainer said when summing up their daily training. In addition to training, the trainer must also comb the search and rescue dogs daily, and pay attention to their physical and mental health. Once the search and rescue dog is sick, they will also take care of and accompany them to take medicine. For the trainer, search and rescue dogs are "daily companionship" Loved ones.
