ZSOFI PRITCHARD

I’m grateful to say that my job as a dog trainer is also my passion. With over 20 years of experience in search and rescue, my primary role has been as an operational air scenting K9 handler and instructor, training K9 teams internationally.

In 2009, I was deployed to the Sumatra earthquake as a K9 handler with my Beauceron, Morris where I also acted as a liaison officer.

For several years I was a classifier for the International Rescue Dog Organisation (IRO) and am currently an assessor for Lowland Rescue.

My border collie, Penny retired from air scenting/SAR a few years ago; Inca, my Belgian Malinois took over her role and is still an active operational air scenting dog.

I started trailing with my Labrador, Aztec, in 2021, and have attended courses, seminars, and on-line mentoring with a variety of trainers. I feel privileged to join the world organisation GAK9 team as a Sports Trailer Trainer.
