Show Notes
Rami and Mike sit down to tackle one of the more talked-about topics in the disaster response canine world — FSAs and testing in USAR. In this episode, they break down the true spirit and intent behind the tests, how different teams interpret and implement them in the field, and what a “new school” mindset might look like moving forward.
This conversation dives into philosophy, standards, training culture, and the evolving expectations of disaster search dogs. Some of the takes may ruffle feathers — and that’s intentional. The goal isn’t agreement; it’s dialogue.
If this episode sparks debate, questions long-held assumptions, or pushes the community to think differently, then it’s doing exactly what it was meant to do: start meaningful conversation within the world of USAR canines.
