TEAM CHESTER

CHESTER 
5 year old  lab mix 
Certified canine good citizen, NAPWDA obedience,  and human remains detection.
Chester loves to work for treat and ball reward.
In his free time, Chester loves to go to the woods, and then have a nice swim while retrieving balls before going home for a little R&R.
JOANNE
Joanne is a mature handler who is passionate about giving people who have lost a loved one peace of mind.  She loves training and all that goes with it.  When she is not working in her career or training for search and rescue her favorite pastime is camping with Chester and his best K9 friend Tess.
Team Chester participated in 2 seminars in 2021.  The first was a 3 day seminar in Texas at the Texas State University center for research in anthropology and forensic science.  They also participated in a 6 day seminar on K9 cognition, and building trust and momentum in a K9 team. In addition to in person seminars, Joanne has taken 12 webinars on scent detection subjects and  listened to many scent work podcasts since December 2021. She also has taken a minimum of 30 race approved CE credits every 2 year cycle, the last cycle including 3 credits specifically targeting knowledge needed to responsibly care and maintain a working K9.
