Inhaltsangabe

The "straightest path" is a simple honest approach to good trailing dog training. Schettler outlines his method for working trailing dogs, step by step, and with only one goal in mind: finding people. The simple truth of the matter is that trailing and tracking dogs do not find what they are looking for on most cases throughout this country. The problems all boil down to training for the dog, the handler, and the search managers. This program was designed for handling a trailing dog, and Jeff has been teaching now for over a decade. Whether you are training for search and rescue, are a K-9 cop, or a tactical team manager, Schettler's advice could save your life, the life of your dog, or that of another person one day.
