Congrats to Ben for passing FEMA FSA test !

Rose & Ben PATF1
Congrats to Ben on October 30th for passing his FSA (Foundation Skills Assessment) FEMA Test at Harrisburg, PA for Pennsylvania Task Force 1 ! The FSA test consists of Obedience, (people, dog aggression testing, emergency stop, healing off lead through crowd and long 5 min down out of sight) Agility, Directional, Bark Barrel Alert, & Rubble Search for 2 buried victims.


 Ben did an amazing job barking at the first victim in the rubble pile at 17 seconds and clearing the pile finding second victim in under 3 minutes ! We were so proud of him...

Now the next step is the Federal FEMA certification test which consists of 2 rubble pile searches with a possibility of 6 victims hidden.  Ben is owned by PATF1 and trained by von Kaltbach Kennels ~ "Cold Creek Shepherds" .


The other dogs had a good time doing some rubble search practice too.... Talen, Vorey, and Czcibor
