| FEMA Canine Evaluation A few pics from the FEMA Canine Evaluation (CE) this past weekend in Mass. I didn't attend because my husband was the chief evaluator and I stayed home to babysit our child and pets. Places we hide people...  What it looks like when they are completely buried. The flagging tape is not present when the testing teams are searching...  Dog is alerting and handler is working her way through the rubble to get to the dog. For the most part, our dogs work completely independent (and often out of sight of) the handler. When the dog alerts, we make our way through the rubble to them to investigate the alert. The dog must stay in place and continue to alert as we approach so we can accurately pin-point the location of the alert...  What the chief evaluator does (hubby doing paperwork with teammate and good friend Tara)...
