How to Train a Police Bloodhound and Scent Discriminating Patrol Dog

by Kevin Kocher

This work is an in depth study of the Kocher Method of mantrailing training using intensity level exercises to build a solid foundation for your canine partner. Using a combination of Kevin and Robin Kocher's vast experience in training both trailing dogs and their handlers, this manual of mantrailing was created primarily for law enforcement officers and SAR handlers. Using positive rewards and encouragement, it is geared for creating a more reliable, focused and driven canine partner to follow a specific human scent and quickly establishing the direction of travel. A must read for all law enforcement canine handlers, it is also of great interest to anyone involved with search and rescue or tracking.

„The Kocher method is based on love and the simple act of listening to my dogs.“
That says it all.
Great book, lots of information and I love the respect he has for our furry team colleagues.
I‘m actually training my SWD with the Kocher method and it‘s good fun and we are making progress.
Mantrailing is an art. Working with a dog is a privilege.
