Owing to their extraordinary abilities, search and rescue dogs have several benefits. SAR dogs can often reduce the time spent searching, therefore increasing the chances that the missing person will be found alive. Experts estimate that a single dog team can be as effective as 20 to 30 trained human searchers in locating a missing person in a given period of time.
Search and Rescue dogs can be trained for:
- Tracking
- Trailing
- Air scenting
- Urban search
- Wilderness
- Land cadaver
- Water cadaver
Some Search and Rescue dogs can be cross-trained in a number of these areas.

Our Search and Rescue Dog Training
Our SAR dog training methods are progressive and taught by active search and rescue dog handlers. Our dogs have been trained in some of the most rigorous environments on the east coast. Some of these dogs have proven themselves during natural disasters such as Hurricane Katrina, as well as man-made disasters across the country.
At K9 Warriors Force Multipliers, LLC, we understand that the majority of Search and Rescue handlers and teams across the country operate on a volunteer basis. Therefore, we offer affordable dogs and training to meet the needs of most SAR teams. All of our Search and Rescue training programs come with a comprehensive handler course. Our goal is to provide each team with the necessary tools and knowledge to be a productive Search and Rescue team.
Our instructors are volunteer Search and Rescue K-9 handlers and certified SARTECHs by the National Association for Search and Rescue (NASAR). As such, we can provide you with full trained Search and Rescue dogs in a variety of breeds. Our Search and Rescue courses and certification programs are perfect for those interested in becoming a trainer for their team, training their own SAR dog, or pursuing a career in training Search and Rescue dogs themselves. Our School for Dog Trainers offers a variety of programs to teach you how to train Search and Rescue dogs.
