As winter comes the gears shift for both humans and K9′s and this year its a little different then last! Within the last week we have had a foot of snow fall in Hancock and the dogs are loving it!! Last winter was a dud and the dogs couldn’t be happier to have actual snow accumulation this year.

Part of working with Search Dogs means working outside in the elements and being prepared. The kids have to learn responsibility and make sure their gear is squared away and that they are ready for however long they will be out.Part of the job of the dog is getting used to working for longer amounts of time in the cold and snow especially when its as deep as them.

Pull harder, there is no traction in this snow!
