Volunteers of the K-9 Team specialize in the use of highly trained dogs to assist missing or injured persons in wilderness, water, avalanche or disaster.
We are getting amazing feedback from our survey saying you both gave top notch courses. Here are a few to share with you:
---I took the HR classes with Kimberly Kelly. She was extremely knowledgeable and lives for this. She was patient and was able to accommodate all learners. She was up for extended training and even was accommodating and set up night training and really supportive of the teams.
---Hazards in the Wild: eye-opening, disturbing, and very very helpful. Chuck Melvin is a great speaker, knows his material, had a tremendously useful variety of props. I feel better prepared both with awareness of specific hazards and overall cautionary mindset.
---Human Death and Decomposition: exceptional. Kimberly Kelly shared a wealth of experience and insight. Her demonstration materials were tremendously helpful.
---Chuck Melvin wins best presenter.
