RH-1

The Rescue Dog Suitability Test (RH-1 program) is designed to help guide those interested in search & rescue on a sports-related platform. This affords you the opportunity to get acquainted with search & rescue and perhaps launch you into certifying under NASAR programs. We will guide you through all of the steps to title your dog in RH.

The RH-1 test encompasses Scent Work (you may choose Tracking, Area Search, or Rubble) as well as Obedience & Dexterity, all the while judging the dogs’ overall temperament (Strangers, unexpected disturbances, resilience in difficult situations, etc).
