Illustrated SAR Test 10: Wagon, Wheelbarrow

Search & Rescue Test, page 10

Wheelbarrow Test The pup was placed in a wheelbarrow, or, for the first few pups, in a wagon. The wagon didn’t work very well so they switched to only using the wheelbarrow. One tester walked backwards in front or to the side to keep the pup from jumping out, while the other wheeled it around the room, going both forward and backwards.
