PEOPLE AND DOGS WITH A MISSION.
One person missing. So many lives on hold.
Serious training, trust in the dog and dedication to finding missing people. GBR Brasil brings together operational search, activities with dogs and education.

Meet the team →04 · Training
Every dog can sniff. An effective dog–handler team, however, takes years of consistent training.
Through GBR’s continuing training, you can teach your dog mantrailing and enjoy an activity together. You can also work hard to develop an operational search dog and take part in real searches. It depends on your commitment and dedication. Everyone is welcome to participate.
