CSAR K9 Unit

CSAR K9 Unit

 Cincinnati Search and Recovery’s K9 unit consists of a group of handlers, each contributing unique skills. Every team member has years of experience training K9s. CSAR K9s can perform various tasks, trained in trailing, tracking, area search, human remains detection, and in water. We have specially trained K9s capable of rappelling with their handlers into otherwise inaccessible areas. Additionally, CSAR K9s are trained to fly in helicopters, enabling quicker responses to remote locations that would take hours to reach on foot or by ATV. All canines undergo national law enforcement certifications and complete hundreds of hours of training annually. Our K9s have been deployed in urban, rural, and wilderness searches for missing individuals, cold cases involving law enforcement, natural disasters, and cadaver searches. Not only do CSAR dogs receive extensive training, but our handlers do as well. Their handler training includes CPR/First Aid, navigation, crime scene preservation, hazmat, bone scatter, K9 first aid, and FEMA/NASAR courses. 


The CSAR K9 Unit are members of Ohio Federation K9 Search Teams and National Search Dog Alliance (NSDA)

A Flanker's main responsibility is safety for the handler and K9 they are assigned to in the field. The handler needs to be able to focus on their K9's behavior and what the K9 may be indicating to during a search. The flanker must be the eyes and ears for the handler and K9 they are with in the field. Calling out possible dangers or obstacles for the handler is an important task of a flanker.

K9 Certification Organizations

IPWADA aka International Police Work Dog Association

IPWADA is  incorporated as the Indiana Police Work Dog Association and when the membership grew to 500 members from throughout the United States, the membership decided to rename the organization (the) International Police Work Dog Association.

AMPWDA aka American Mantrailing, Police & Work Dogs Association

 The American Mantrailing, Police & Work Dog Association (AMPWDA) is a leading provider of K9 Training and Certification for Search and Rescue,  LE ( Law Enforcement ), and K9 Enthusiasts.  In addition, we provide obedience and personal protection training for the general public.  Our Master Trainers have many years of professional K9 experience and are backed up by a staff of experienced trainers and assistant trainers.  This allows us to offer you top of the line training in the areas of Mantrailing (with K9), Mantracking (without K9), K9 Backup Training, Human Remains Detection (HRD), Area Search, Disaster Search, Narcotics Detection, Utility/Patrol, K9 Obedience, K9 Protection, and more. 

NSI aka North Star International K9 Training Association

 

North Star International K9 Training Association (NSI K9) offers certification in Wilderness Trailing, Urban Trailing, Water Human Remains Detection, and Land Human Remains detection.

Our trailing certification is designed for the dog, that is a true trailing dog. As bloodhound handlers, we understand, that there are very few certification opportunities, which are truly a trailing venue. In our certification the trailing dog is on equal turf with the tracking dog. With that said, our trailing standard, is equally appropriate for the dog that tracks, rather than trails. For the dog who is trained to find articles, you will find 5 articles on the track/trail. Of course, if you trail, you may not find the articles, so you are not penalized, for not finding them. The objective is to find your man!    All of our certifications are a training/testing venue. The K9 teams is evaluated for the skills, necessary to be mission ready, as they train, over the course of three days. The intent of our training and testing is to provide a third party assessment for the K9 team. We believe that certification testing should provide the handler with ideas of new training goals to accomplish when they go home from the seminar.   Once a dog has achieved certification with NSI K9, they are asked to participate in a one day training at a seminar or arranged through the director. The objective is to insure that the team is still capable of carrying our mission ready activities in a real life situation on a search.

Blue Warrior Tactics

At Blue Warrior Tactics Inc., our mission is to provide up-to-date proven street tactics by veteran instructors to educate law enforcement officers to be the best they can be. Modern training in today's world of crime is essential for the officers to come home safely after each shift.  

AWDA aka American Working Dog Association

The American Working Dog Association (AWDA) is dedicated to providing Law Enforcement (LE) and Search & Rescue (SAR) working dog teams with strict and realistic certifications along with the latest in today's top training methods to assure your K-9 team is ready to deploy in a professional and safe manner.  AWDA holds K-9 seminars, workshops, and certifications throughout the year all over the United States and abroad. 

Pet Partners

Therapy dogs and other therapy animals bring comfort and joy in schools, workplaces, hospitals, or any facility they visit. For youth and seniors, those who are sick and those who are well, and even those recovering from a crisis event, therapy animals have been proven to help. Pet therapy for seniors especially, can significantly enhance emotional well-being, and positively contribute to their social and cognitive health. Other areas with proven benefits are therapy dogs for the workplace. This can greatly boost morale, decrease stress levels, and enhance overall employee satisfaction and productivity.
