ARDA Training
ARDA training methods have served as the model for canine search and rescue units across the nation and around the world. These training methods are detailed in the ARDA textbook, Search and Rescue Dogs: Training the K-9 Hero. This textbook, which was revised in 2002, sets forth the training concepts that have stood the test of thousands of successful ARDA missions.
