A good decoy needs to be an expert in canine communication, and needs to know how to use this
language to stimulate aggression in the dog. This book explains, step by step, how to understand the
canine paralanguage and how to use your own body to communicate with the dog. It then explains the
different types of natural dog aggression and how to use its own language to trigger the useful types
without being abusive to the dog. Decoys and Aggression also describes drills designed to develop skill
in the decoy. Some are designed to be conducted without dogs until the human demonstrates enough
body control to work with a live animal without injuring the dog or himself. This book is the first to
combine inter-species communication skills with the specific types of aggression known to be useful to
police dog trainers. As such, it is essential reading for all decoys, instructors and students alike, as well
as for K9 personnel, handlers, and trainers.

K9 Officer's Manual
Communities need police K-9 more than ever in the 21st Century. We are living through a technological
revolution in crime that outpaces our ability to keep current in intelligence or to keep up on the street.
Gangs, drugs, advanced communications, rapid air and ground mobility across both state and
international borders – it is impossible to field enough police officers. At the most basic level offenders
know when there is no police dog on duty in their neighborhood. That is when they run. That is when
they go to ground with the officer. That is when they challenge officers with weapons. The Friendly Force
– the police dog – protects handlers and covers officers. Most officer murders occur at night. Officers are
attacked suddenly, often before they realize the suspect is present or observing them. Fifty percent are
ambushes. Where officers are weak, the dog is strong. At night the K-9 sees clearly. His senses alert
him to the armed suspect nobody realizes is there. In dangerous searches, foot pursuits

K9 Explosive Detection
Kaldenbach covers all the ins and outs of using a K9 for scent detection in police investigations. From
K9 intelligence and observation to the dog's nose and how it works; from the qualities needed to make a
good scent detection team to concise methods for training scent detection dogs in tracking, drug
detection or suspect discrimination, Kaldenbach describes how the dog can use this faculty to track and
discriminate various odors, human odor in particular.

Professional Schutzhund trainers and instructors Resi Gerritsen and Ruud Haak bring their years of
knowledge and experience together in this book, K9 Schutzhund Training. Appropriate for training dogs
for both protection work and for international sport dog certification and competition, the content is
designed to be an especially practical training method. Founded on the idea that effective training can
only happen when a good bond and good communication exist between handler and dog, this method
allows individual handler-dog teams to progress at their own speed. Different breeds, and individual
dogs, may require different lengths of time and repetition to effectively learn to perform the exercises
contained in this book. While many trainers claim a dog can be trained to perform to this level in only a
few weeks, the authors show that effective, long-lasting results can only be achieved with time and
patience, and especially, that training methods which force the dog to perform under stress or duress
are doomed to produce dogs which lack confidence and perform inconsistently. The three sections of
this book focus on tracking, obedience and protection.

and Protection
An incorrect approach to training dogs in tracking can lead to a confused animal and a frustrated
handler. The dog's ability to follow a scent is far beyond what humans are capable of, yet unless a
handler can make the dog understand which scent he is to follow, failure is bound to happen. Gerritsen
and Haak's methods are based on acquiring a clear understanding of what is involved in tracking, what
the dog's scent capabilities really are, and what conditions can affect the dog's tracking ability, and how.
From this background, handlers can choose from a variety of methods to train their dog to track. In this
book you will discover the use and possibilities of the dog's nose. For successful training, it is very
important that the handler knows what the dog is doing and what is happening with the track. We often
make it very difficult for our dogs, because of human faults, incorrect insights or a wrong approach.

THE POLICE DOG: A STUDY OF THE GERMAN SHEPHERD DOG (OR ALSATIAN) By David Brockwell A
VINTAGE DOG BOOKS CLASSIC REPRINT. Originally published New York 1925, this scarce early work
on theGerman Shepherd Dog (G.S.D.) is very hard to find in its first edition. VINTAGE DOG BOOKS have
now republished it, using the original text and photographs, as part of their CLASSIC BREED BOOKS
series. The book was originally published to assist American breeders and owners of the "Police Dog",
which at that time was a relatively recent introduction in the U.S.A. Its objective was to provide a complete
and concise knowledge of every phase of this breed. The book's two hundred and ten pages contain
seven comprehensive chapters: Origin and History. - Appearance and Characteristics. - Breeding. -
Care and Rearing. - Training (Emphasis on Police and Guard Dog Work) - Various Uses. - Diseases
and Accidents. The book is well illustrated with text drawings and full page photographs of Champions
of that era. This is a fascinating read for any G.S.D. enthusiast or historian of the breed, and also
contains much information that is still practical and useful today. Many of the earliest dog breed books,
particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now increasingly scarce and expensive.
VINTAGE DOG BOOKS are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern
editions, using the original text and artwork.

The Police Dog: A Study Of The German Shepherd (Or Alsatian)
In today's constitutional states, the discovery of the truth is the guiding force in police investigations.
Scent identification line-ups are part of these investigations into establishing what actually occurred.
Besides other existing investigative techniques, the number of scent identification line-ups is increasing
in the countries using them. Several other countries are considering implementing such line-ups and
are in the process of evaluating how this can be done under their constitutions.
This book is a very professional description of the different ways in which scent identification line-ups
can be used. The authors, Adee Schoon and Ruud Haak, have built upon sound research, to which the
Canine Department of the Netherlands National Police Agency has contributed significantly.

Badge on My Collar: A Chronicle of Courageous Canines
How does one fully explain the symbiotic relationship between dog handlers and their dogs? Officers
and their dogs mesh into a solid unit that thinks and anticipates as one as they communicate many
times in unspoken words. By necessity, theirs is an extremely tight bond. This book is a window into
those relationships and the lives of K-9s. It showcases fifteen memorable police and search and
rescue dogs and presents their unforgettable stories. A twenty-year search for the most heart-warming
stories provides a chronicle that gives insight into an often personal world the public seldom sees. Meet
K-9 Argus who against all odds searched for an abandoned newborn in the rugged Canadian
wilderness. K-9 Alley of Maryland whose own pain never stopped her from searching for Pentagon
victims of 9/11 and K-9 Sirius of the New York Port Authority, the only dog lost at the World Trade Center,
will both be remembered for their heroism. K-9 Major from Minnesota and K-9 Luke II from Ohio, two of
the most unlikely dogs to reach the pinnacle of success, exemplify the dedication and superb training
necessary to assure a place on the often-mean streets to protect the public. The loss of a valued police
dog, K-9 Ingo from Tennessee, and the hazards military working dogs such as K-9 Rex face every day in
foreign lands, bring a whole new respect for the dogs and their handlers. And as one Ohio dog, K-9
Midge, has demonstrated, sometimes the most successful dog paws do not fit the "big dog" mold. The
story of these dogs and many others is told with poignancy and sometime humor clearing up any
misconceptions anyone might have about the nature and duties of today's K-9s. A must read for anyone
who has ever loved a dog.
