Description
For more than twenty five years I have been involved in many facets of dog training and learning about canine behavior. This has been an exciting journey that is not over yet. For the first fifteen years I spent most of my time training dogs professionally in the arena of obedience, personnel protection, tracking and Schutzhund. In the beginning there were not many books written on any of these particular disciplines as there are today. Most of the training was by trial and error with a lot of imagination. I did find some people in the area where I lived that had trained dogs for different activities associated with sport or law enforcement. None of the people that influenced my career knew anything about Schutzhund or much about personal protection. So I kept learning on my own.
For the past ten years I have been involved with the training and maintaining of detection dogs. This has been a very exciting move into the realm of the unseen, as it relates to scent and how a canine is able to detect such small traces of odor. I began experimenting with tracking dogs and wondering why they would pick up their heads when near the end of the track where the bad guy was hiding. I began to see patterns of behavior that in the beginning I used to correct for because everyone knows that a tracking dog is obedient to the track and never lifts his head. This never made since to me. Of course the tracking I was teaching was sport tracking and it was not practical for what I wanted to accomplish. I hadn't really said it out loud, but what I really wanted to learn was how a dog is able to find someone at a great distance from the point where the dog is started. At this point I had trained over 100 dogs in different areas, but never got into the area of detection dogs.
In the early spring of 1996 I began learning all I could about Search and Rescue dogs, how they work, and how scent was affected by the environment. When I purchased Pacer, my foundation dog, I only had an overview of what was needed to produce a qualified SAR dog. In the spring of 1996 a new group was forming in the city where I live and I decided to join and start my new partner in training for SAR. This group started with four people. None of the other people had any dog experience, but all were dedicated to learn about SAR. The decision was made that we were going to learn and start training. None of us had any idea on how to train, but we got pointers from another group with experience, and we were off. I took the lead, since I did have more of an idea how dogs work, and the learning curve needed to bring a dog to its potential.
