Happy Dogs

12/10/2026

We are currently looking for high-drive Labradors & Spaniels* with the potential to undertake Military Search Dog training. This is due to an increase in our annual requirements.

We’re particularly interested in confident, energetic dogs aged 10 months to 2 years, that have a strong desire to play, retrieve & work.

* Similar breeds may be considered
Dogs will be assessed for their suitability, including temperament, health, confidence & drive.

Do you have a dog that you think might have the right qualities to be a Military Working Dog, within a Search Dog role? If so, please send us an email for further information.

- Donations are very welcome.

- Purchase also available on agreement.

- Please include dog information & images.

Thank you, DATR, Canine Training Squadron.

We had a fantastic summer! Sunshine, sea days, warm evenings - but it wasn’t the easiest time for our dogs. Now September is here, cooler weather brings higher energy. It’s the perfect time to reset training, sharpen focus and build on great teamwork together 🐶😊.

Call us for a chat if you need advice on your dogs behaviour or simply thinking of getting a new dog in the family and could do with a few tips.
