2022 Title - Hunter's Teachers Area.png

     Hunter and the entire Jefferson County Search Dog Association Team understand the importance of education. Training is an essential part of search and rescue and understanding the dogs and their skills is needed. JCSDA is committed to educating the public in search and rescue and safety awareness. Participating in local events and visiting groups, organizations and schools is our way to reach out to the community.

     We would enjoy visiting your school and talking about what we do - we will also bring a dog or two. Please contact Bud Dixon by phone at 502 314-0061 or email us at jcsda@jcsda.com.

Below are some Lesson Plans and some JCSDA activity and safety booklets and flyers. We encourage the use of these free materials for classroom instruction and education. The Lesson Plans were written by Mrs. Kennetha Schmits, a first grade teacher at St. Nicholas Academy near Cincinnati, Ohio.

Notice of Duplication and Distribution: All material is free and may be distributed and/or photocopied for educational purposes.
