[QUOTE="chuter, post: 3643094, member: 13693"] I'll add 2 cents about search and rescue: I was thinking of getting into that several years ago. Took my dog to K9 University on NW Exp to have him evaluated; they said he had the nose for it. Then they started telling me about the process to get certified. It's quite extensive and expensive. I would have had to get training in evidence preservation, on site trauma treatment, and so forth. Then there's the dog training. Bottom line, once fully trained you might get a call in the middle of the night during a storm, they'll give you a map and ask you to cover a section of land, maybe way out in the boonies, in the dark, in the rain, in the cold, crossing streams, rocks, whatever. I decided I was too old for that, and didn't want to make the time and financial commitment. Maybe there are other programs not so intensive, I don't know. Something to consider, I'm sure it can be very rewarding. [/QUOTE]
