Frequently Asked Questions

Here’s everything you need to know about joining the membership and how it works for you and your dog.

Absolutely. Each topic includes foundational exercises to refresh your dog’s skills or help diagnose a training issue.

Plus, every training plan has options to challenge your dog and take them to the next level, no matter where they are in their training.

Yes! Each topic is broken down into step-by-step exercises so there is no guessing how to set up the exercise or what you should be doing next.

This ensures you create a solid foundation and set your dog up for long-term success.

Videos are released on the first of each month, so you can access them whenever it’s convenient for you to train.

Live Q&A sessions are scheduled, but you can submit your questions in advance if you can’t attend, and recordings will be available for you to watch anytime.

Many memberships give you lots of information but leave you to figure out how to incorporate the material into your SAR training. That’s not the case here!

Each month, you’ll get a step-by-step training plan designed to show you exactly how to apply what you’ve learned. Plus, live Q&A sessions ensure we can help you address specific challenges with your dog so you never get stuck without a solution.

No awkward phone calls or emails required. You can cancel anytime by logging into your handler dashboard and clicking cancel.

Just keep in mind that if you leave, you’ll lose the founding member price and would need to rejoin at the regular rate.

As handlers ourselves, we know it’s important to be intentional with how you spend your training time and money. We want to make sure the membership is the right fit for you.
