From 3.4.-6.4.2023, ZRPS organized rubble training for its members in Tritolwerk, Austria. DVRPS members that have joined the training were Vesna Žagar with Yaffa and Ginny,

Dušan Weber with Ares, Silvana Šneberger with Lola and Liza, Alenka Fritzel with Brina, Viktoria Orosz with Ninja, Mojca Kučič with Kira and Nataša Bregar with Ajka and Cubo.

We arrived at Tritolwerk on Monday morning. We stayed in containers inside the facility.

The trainings took place for 4 days, morning and afternoon. In between, we had a break for lunch and a short rest. Our instructor was Alois Balog.
Since Tritolwerk has many workplaces, we were able to process at least two workplaces every day, sometimes even more. The workplaces offered different options for hiding the figurants (depth, height, darkness, dark tunnels and corridors, different obstacles and materials).

The training sessions were organized in such a way that they were adapted to each dog individually. Some had quite a bit of trouble moving on the smooth concrete slabs, others didn't. However, through training, we managed to get the dogs to get to know them and in the end, moving around them did not pose any major problems.

The training was perfectly planned and executed. Ajka and Cubo took away a lot from the training, they gained new experiences, especially moving on uncomfortable material and solving unknown situations independently. Even I, as a guide, am richer for many new experiences and acquired knowledge.

On Thursday morning we had our last training session. After lunch we drove back to Ljubljana.
