If you do not follow through with the requirements; you will not receive a certificate of completion. Attendance is not the same as completion.    L.E.T.S. certification will be offered at the completion of the seminar for a fee of $50.00. Certification Officials will not take your money nor allow you to attempt if you/K-9 are not ready. L.E.T.S. certification is valid only for a period of one year. Even if you are re-certifying; if you do not pass; fee of $50.00 is non refundable nor transferable to a future seminar.     If you would like to specifically attend the seminar to be held in Oregon, the address for information is  For further information on the seminar to be held in Coos Bay, Oregon, please contact Liz Marr at lizm@cc-ent.com or for the seminar on West Central Coast of Florida, please contact Kakie Moore at kakie@gte.net   We will also be independently contacting Lauren Schiff to post the seminars on her site at Lauren came up with the great horse icon which we put on our site as well.  We are all here to assist each other.    Both of these seminars are for novice through advanced, neither will tolerate aggressive K-9's, equines or humanoids. :<) We will do all we can to minimize costs for attendees.    Both seminars will hold raffles so all attendees have the potential to go home with something, we hope to also have vendors as well. Last year, we had Hi-Glo Graphics and Blackhawk Industries at the seminar in Florida; we hope to have them this year as well. Raffle items have been generously donated in the past from many different organizations including Jones Trailer Company, Search Gear, Pet USA, CAV PRO, Ray Allen, EVAC Systems, J & J Dog Supplies, The Dog's Outfitter, Omaha Vaccine, Nasco, J-B Wholesalers, Foster & Smith, RC Steele, Science Diet, Hi-Glo Graphics, Blackhawk Industries and many other companies; as well SAR units such as K-9 SAR of SoFl. NTCR Florida Seminar will be awarding trophies for a competition of Land and Water Cadaver as well as Tracking. We have enough experienced/qualified, and/or L.E.T.S. certified K-9's attending this year to make it a worthwhile competition.    Thank you in advance for your interest and questions.    Stay safe,   Kakie Moore National Tracking and Cadaver Recovery, Inc.
