Trailing/Disaster/HRD 訓練会レポート_2024.09.09

NSA Trailing/Disaster/HRD Training

2024年9月8日（日曜日）AM5:00からTrailing/Disaster/HRD 訓練会を開催しました。
On September 8, 2024 (Sunday), Trailing, Disaster Search, and HRD training were conducted beginning at 05:00 AM.

Trailing Unit

Trailingは、ユニットごとに現在の課題に対しての訓練を行いました。早朝とはいえ気温湿度共に、まだまだ高く訓練を進める為に必要な犬の集中力を確認しながら地質の形状の違いと共に屈折の際のネガティブの確認を中心に距離を延ばさずに短い距離の設定で取り組みました。
n the Trailing training, each unit worked on exercises designed to address their current training challenges.
Despite the early start, temperature and humidity levels were still relatively high, requiring careful monitoring of the dogs’ concentration during the work.
The training focused on confirming negative indications at trail turns and working across different surface conditions, while maintaining short trail distances to ensure effective training under the environmental conditions.

Disaster Unit

Disasterは、6時からユニットの課題に取り組みました。
In the Disaster training, each unit began working on exercises addressing their current training objectives starting at 06:00 AM.

ヘルパーに対しての意欲の強化と共に、ハンドラーとの距離間や自主性について、今後も強化していかなければいけないポイントも見えていますので、teamとしてunitとして積極的に進める必要があります。特に室内捜索など、の経験も増やしていく事が必要ですし、現場ではピンポイントアラートの強化も求められます。
Along with reinforcing the dogs’ motivation toward the helper, the training revealed several areas that require further development, including maintaining appropriate handler–dog working distance and strengthening independent search initiative. These objectives should be actively addressed both as a team and at the unit level.
Increasing experience in indoor search environments will also be important, and in real deployments there will be a strong need for accurate pinpoint alerts. Future training will therefore continue to focus on developing these operational skills.

HRD Unit

HRDは、ハンドラーと犬の距離間を意識して犬の捜索意欲や自主性の強化訓練を行いました。前回に引き続き風の流れなどを読みながら犬をハンドリングする難しさを訓練の中で習得し実働に活かせるように進めています。
In the HRD training, exercises focused on maintaining proper handler–dog working distance while strengthening the dogs’ search drive and independent search initiative.
As in the previous session, the training also emphasized the challenge of handling the dog while interpreting wind direction and scent movement. These skills are being developed through training so they can be effectively applied during operational search deployments.

今回は、原臭も大きく設定しましたが、湿度が高く無風状態が続きましたので狭いエリアでしたが非常に難しい設定になりました。犬との距離ができる事で、原臭に対して自信を持って留まる事ができるかどうか？なども今後の強化ポイントですし、告知姿勢の見直しなども考える必要もあります。
In this scenario, the primary odor source was set relatively large, but due to high humidity and calm wind conditions, scent dispersion was limited, creating a challenging exercise even within a relatively small search area.
As the working distance between the handler and the dog increases, it becomes important to confirm whether the dog can confidently remain at the source and maintain a clear final alert. This will remain a key point for future training.
In addition, further evaluation and refinement of the alert posture will also be considered.

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.
