NSA Trailing/Disaster/HRD 訓練会レポート_2025.01.19

NSA Trailing/Disaster/HRD Training

2025年1月19日（日曜日）AM6:30から本社資材置き場に集合しTrailing/Disaster/HRD 訓練会を開催しました。
On January 19, 2025 (Sunday), an NSA Trailing / Disaster / HRD training session was held.
Participants gathered at the company materials yard at 06:30, where the training activities commenced.

Trailing Unit

Trailingは、市街地および住宅街周辺で各unitの課題に対しての基礎訓練を行いました。
In the Trailing training, foundational exercises were carried out in urban and residential areas, with emphasis on addressing the individual training objectives and challenges of each unit.

今回は、３名の方が見学を兼ねて新しいヘルパーとしてご協力をして頂けました。それぞれの現在の課題と基礎段階の訓練を行い、現状の確認と共に強化すべきポイントが見えてきましたので、ステップアップの条件を複雑化せずにシンプルに進めていきましょう。
On this occasion, three participants joined as observers and assisted as new helpers during the training session.
Each unit focused on their current training challenges through foundational exercises, allowing us to assess their current level and identify key areas for improvement.
Moving forward, we will continue progressing step by step, keeping the training structure simple while reinforcing the essential elements.

Disaster Unit

Disasterも、新しいヘルパーに対しての告知の訓練などを含めたunitごとに課題に取り組みました。
In the Disaster search training, each unit addressed its current training objectives, including practicing alert behavior with the newly participating helpers.

初めてのヘルパーに対しても自信を持って素早く告知できるようにする事は、とても重要です。また捜索の設定も風の流れを良く確認しながら行う事で、犬のボディーランゲージを読むトレーニングに活用されます。
It is essential that dogs are able to confidently and quickly perform their alert behavior, even when working with helpers they have not previously encountered.
Furthermore, by designing the search scenarios with careful attention to wind direction and environmental conditions, the training provides valuable opportunities for handlers to develop their skills in reading the dog’s body language during search operations.

HRD Unit

HRDは、捜索環境の変化にも躊躇なく対応し、安定した告知動作の強化に取り組みました。特にTFRを安定させる為に、現段階の告知への認識を確認しながら、どのようなアプローチで強化すべきか？を判断し実践トレーニングを行いました。
In the HRD training, emphasis was placed on maintaining stable alert behavior while ensuring the dogs could adapt without hesitation to changing search environments.
Special focus was given to stabilizing the Trained Final Response (TFR). By assessing each dog’s current understanding of the alert behavior, we determined appropriate training approaches and implemented practical exercises to further reinforce the response.

捜索における集中力や意欲は、以前よりも安定してきていますが、ソースに対しての告知の自信と素早い告知速度は、今後も基礎訓練を行いながら強化が必要。ソースが遮蔽物の陰にある場合などは、告知までに時間を要しますが、スクラッチなどの行動を行わずに的確なポイントで告知ができるように訓練を進めます。
The dogs’ search motivation and concentration have shown improved stability compared to previous sessions. However, further reinforcement is needed to increase the dogs’ confidence in identifying the odor source and to improve the speed of the alert response.
When the source is hidden behind obstacles or within concealed spaces, the indication may require additional time. Training will therefore continue with emphasis on ensuring that the dog performs a clear and accurate alert at the correct source location, without unnecessary behaviors such as scratching.

NSAの活動は、民間ボランティアによる行方不明者の捜索活動です。
多くの方々からご支援いただくことで、より速く、より多くの行方不明者捜索にサーチドッグを派遣することができます。皆様のご支援をお願いいたします。
NSA’s activities are carried out by civilian volunteers.
With the support of many individuals, we can deploy search dogs more quickly and to a greater number of missing person cases.
We sincerely ask for your continued support.
