How long does it take to train a MAR search dog?
A. On average, it will take four to six months to train a MAR Cat Detection dog, but training a MAR Trailing dog is a grueling, long process that can take as long as 18 months before a dog is proficient and ready for certification. We firmly believe that MAR search dogs and Technicians should be trained and certified. Within the search-and-rescue (SAR) community, only qualified and certified search dogs are allowed to search for missing people. Why would we want anything less for our pets?
