Welcome To National Search Dog Alliance

The NSDA Search and Rescue Dog group was formed in March 2007 with the intention of providing programs designed and developed by the dog handler, for the dog handler. NSDA believes that, only through communication, can programs be designed that meet the needs of the members. Communication allows for quick feedback and the ability to take needed actions.

NSDA believes that quality standards reflect well on an organization as well as those who are certified by them. Since it is recognized that NIMS will play a major role in the future of search and rescue, NSDA standards will meet or exceed NIMS as NIMS Guidelines become known. Learn more about NSDA
