Search and Rescue K-9s Brush Up on Skills Training

Members of the Washington County K-9 Search & Rescue Unit take a break between staged trainings.

A group of service dogs and their owners gather several times each week to learn and practice critical search and rescue skills. The training takes place under the watchful eye of Washington County Search & Rescue Team K-9 Program coordinator, Chris Westminster. We get lost on a training mission near a forested lake to observe how the all-volunteer K-9 team operates.

Jacqueline Froelich is an investigative reporter and news producer for Ozarks at Large.
