“It is not easy to tame a search dog, to train an ordinary dog into a search dog, and to spend a lot of time and sweat.” In recent days, a new member of the Forest Fire Brigade in Altai city — the search and rescue dog — has arrived.

A horse dog, all known as Malinua, born in Belgium, is a Belgian sheepdog. Their physical features include fluid shapes, standing ears, face-faced eyes and flexible and strong limbs. Horse dogs usually have light brown to red brown, some with black, white or grey stripes. The search dog, the cylindrical, is a tan-haired horse dog.

The brigade carefully prepared the doghouse in advance to ensure that the search and rescue dog lived well. Upon the arrival of the search dogs, the instructors followed closely the movement of the search dogs to ensure that they were handled in a timely and appropriate manner, taking into account the actual and climatic and environmental differences in the Altai area as a result of the long-distance journey, while adapting them to the new environment and integrating them into the extended family as soon as possible, including by accompanying them in play, running and relaxing their diets.
According to the information received, “Nil” successfully completed the first national initial technical training course for search dogs and trainers in 2024, with initial compliance and a certain search capability. In accordance with the character, skill and training of the thorium, the trainers have developed a training programme to provide training in adaptation, obedience, barriers and search, in accordance with the principle of gradual progress, to ensure rapid access and regular and orderly operation.

Next, the tritium will undergo more rigorous training, like the “oldiers”. It is understood that the team will continue to advance the standardized construction and formalization of search and rescue dog training, further explore the refinement of the search and rescue dog tube training system for all types of disaster incident characteristics, and gradually develop the basic search and rescue dog subject and operational application subject into a combat force, taking into account practical “train and discipline”, in an effort to work as a sophisticated, technically skilled and highly qualified search and rescue “bones”.
