Truly a good sport 😆

Your dog will be treated like part of the family with us.

Ultimately we will follow owners requests. We've had some puppies in training and rules have been continued at our home.
.. But we do love a sofa cuddle too if permitted 😊

Last week we were lucky enough to dog sit this wise one. He didn't miss any opportunity for a cuddle or just to be by your side 😊

Why do we say if your dog goes missing stay at the point last seen?

The advice from DogLost Cornwall includes - 'If your dog went missing on a walk, go back to place last seen & wait, as they will generally return there, or to car park if you arrived in a car.'

A lot of the time a dog goes missing on a walk it will return to the point it last saw you and will often follow it’s own trail back to that point – that’s why we say it is important to stay at that point – and it is very hard to do!

You will be worrying and wondering where your dog is and the main issue is the direction you saw it go in may not be the direction they kept going in.

In order to help with understanding this visually, Annie, one of our Trustees & Instructors once demonstrated this with Search Dog Lexi (sadly no longer with us) and her tracker to show how they will often return back.

You can see on the picture below where they started from and Lexi’s original direction of travel to which she soon turned right, you can then see where Annie recalled her and although coming back in a straight line makes sense to us, she followed back along the route she had gone and back to where we were. If Annie had continued moving in the direction she’d seen her go she would be off the path of return and you can end up following each others tails, so to speak.

I hope this post goes a little way to show why we say, stay at the point you last saw your dog, it can be very hard and those first moments of worry set in, if there is more than one of you then you can keep someone at the point while others go looking in the area.

COULD CORNWALL SEARCH DOGS BE IN YOUR FUTURE?

In 2027, we’ll be looking to grow our team of dog handlers.

We’re not recruiting just yet, but if becoming part of Cornwall Search Dogs is something you think you might be interested in, there’s an opportunity to start getting to know us now.

Our dog handlers are part of a dog and handler team. They have an interest in trailing and enjoy developing their skills with their dog, but there’s much more to the role than working a search dog.

Searching for a missing dog means working alongside other people, communicating with members of the public who may be worried or distressed, thinking clearly when situations are challenging and being a reliable part of a team.

Being part of Cornwall Search Dogs also involves contributing to the wider work of the charity. Alongside training and searches, our team helps with fundraising, events, talks and other activities that enable us to keep providing our service. We’re looking for people who want to be part of the charity as a whole, rather than simply train and handle a search dog.

Before we begin recruiting, we’d love to meet people who are interested in what we do and give you the opportunity to find out more about us too.

One of the best ways to do that is to join us at one of our training days as a volunteer missing person.

You’ll come along without your dog and lay trails for our search dog teams to work. You’ll get to see how we train, meet the team, understand more about how Cornwall Search Dogs operates and spend some time with people who share an interest in dogs and trailing.

And we get to know you too.

Volunteering with us doesn’t guarantee a future place on the team, and it won’t be the only route into Cornwall Search Dogs when recruitment opens. It is simply an opportunity to get involved now and explore whether becoming part of the team might be something you’d like to pursue in the future.

If that sounds like you, we’d love to hear from you.

To register your interest in please email [email protected]

*please note: training takes place on Sunday mornings across the county.
