Battleship Hosts Dog Training January 19, 2023

The Battleship  hosted dogs and trainers from Penn Vet Dog Training on Wednesday, Jan. 18.  The crew brought six pups, who are in the process of being trained as rescue dogs and law enforcement dogs, aboard the Battleship and had them track scents and even a live person throughout the main deck of the Battleship. 

The training included one of the dogs, Kozi, searching and finding Mickey Berry of Cleaned Rite housekeeping, who was hiding in the closet in the Executive Officer’s state room.
