How it looks when an area search dog finds you!
...you don't see them much. They work large areas (as the name implies) which means they are probably hundreds of yards, maybe even a quarter mile if the wind conditions are good, from the handler. This means they find and then have to go alert their person and bring them back! You'll see them a few times especially if the person is far away (dogs are FAST!) as they bounce between you and their handler, alerting each time.
(Note: the collar is a garmin gps tracking collar, NOT a shock collar)
