One handler's experience - in his own words
Jail Dogs doesn't just benefit the dogs - the inmate handlers get quite a bit out of the program as well. Here's one handler's experience of the program, in his own words.

Jail Dogs Racing Team Debut!
 The Jail Dogs Racing Team. From L-R:
Chris, Randy, Hal and John.
The JDRT made their debut Saturday, March 23rd in Braselton, GA at Road Atlanta. We had a BLAST with this great group of guys, and we're looking forward to their next appearance. Watch this space for future races!
We are excited to announce the formation of the Jail Dogs Racing Team! The Team is the brainchild of Russ, Terry, John, Bob, Hal, and Chris, members of the Peachstate Porsche Club of America. These five founding members will bear the Jail Dogs logo on their cars to raise awareness and funds for the program. We would also like to thank Chad of CentricCreative and Vicki and Kelly of PrinTech Labels for donating their time and talents to the Jail Dog Racing Team. |
Nosework!
Nosework is a training activity that takes advantage of a dog's strongest sense - smell. Using boxes and a scent item, dogs can burn both mental and physical energy, relieve anxiety and reduce aggression, and generally have a great time. Many thanks to both Victoria Stilwell and Cathy Bruce of Canine Country Academy for their assistance in introducing nosework into our training schedule. You can watch a video of nosework in action here.
