Πιστοποίηση χειριστή και σκύλου Έρευνας και Διάσωσης

Μετά από προπονήσεις σχεδόν ενός έτους που χτίζαμε επιμέρους συμπεριφορές, πήραμε την απόφαση να συμμετέχουμε στο σχολείο έρευνας και διάσωσης, διάρκειας 3 μηνών που έλαβε χώρα στην Αθήνα από ένα τεράστιο δάσκαλο (και όχι μόνο για ότι έχει να κάνει με σκύλους) κ. Borut Modic.
