Red Dog Rising

[SealDriver]

The Norwegian Police use Elk Hounds to find dead bodies in Fjords and the Canadian Royal Mounted Police have some experience at submerged bodies and tracking in water...infact I believe they wrote the book on it.

The Kanooks also use Labradors to find whales at sea by a similar method as discribed by Highlander with the cable finding dogs.

I use my dogs on deer trails, but the basic method for scent tracking is the same for all varieties of scent work. The author of this book knows all about it and his understanding of his dog/s is impressive.

In my experience it's the tracker/trainer that can be the problem, a dog can track prefectly well on its own, nature has given it this survival ability. Now if the trainer cannot communicate what it is he/she desires the dog to do, well that's not the dogs fault.
