K9 Trailing The Straightest Path

Constant failure is not an option for me nor should it be for any handler interested in saving lives and solving crime.

There can be no growth without both. I will outline my method for working trailing dogs, step by step, and with only one goal in mind: finding people. This program was designed for anyone handling a trailing dog and I have been teaching it now for over a decade.
