Preparation of the dog for action in emergency situation (earthquake, floods, avalanche, searching of explosives)
HONČÍK, Václav
Dogs can be used in many different fields. The rescue of people whose lives or health are endangered belongs to one of the most important ones. Present days, full of natural disasters and terrorist attacks, demand dogs more and more often. The dogs, however, must be educated and trained for lifesaving activities very long. In my work I have both described basic and specific dog trainings. The latter prepares dogs for such activities as looking up for people buried under ruins or avalanche or searching for booby trap systems. As the theme is very wide I have not detailed the whole training, only some exercises which are used in rescue events. The work is based on literature available, professional journals and methodical instructions but also on my own experience with working dog training and professional knowledge gained at seminars or workshops. I have drawn up an overall summary of dog trainings and the techniques how to train dogs in specific disciplines which are used in emergency. The work corresponds to those of other authors.
