Waconia High School Training

Last night, the K9 crew went to Waconia High School for training. It was supposed to be a quiet night at the school, well I guess a basketball game, floor removal and parent group meetings is a “quiet night” I would hate to see a busy night! K9′s Crosby, Weaver and Angel, took distractions into consideration, but in the end did a GREAT job. K9 Weaver wasn’t to pleased with the floor removal solution they were using, but still found his missing person in a timely fashion. K9 Crosby however, got right to work….and found his missing person very quickly. K9 Angel also did well last night, she found her missing person in a timely fashion with trails getting longer.
