Being a good decoy for police dogs involves more than putting on a sleeve or bite suit and taking
bites. 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. Also describes
drills designed to develop skill in the decoy. Some are designed to be conducted with dogs until the
human demonstrates enough body control to work with a live animal without injuring the dog or himself.
Essential reading for all decoys, instructors and students alike, as well as for K9 personnel, handlers,
and trainers.

1954 translation of Konrad Most's classic work on dog training. Most was applying behavioral
training principles with dogs long before B.F. Skinner. While his methods may be viewed as
harsh by modern dog trainers, the theory behind it was revolutionary for its time and is
still applied today. Discover the roots of behavioral training: see the world from a dog's
point of view; utilize instinctual behavior in training; use of compulsion and inducement;
use of primary and secondary reinforcers. Learn how Col. Most taught: obedience exercises
including the recall, jumping and retrieving; guard and schutzhund training; reconnaissance
and tracking; scent theory; water work; hunting dog training; dogs for the blind. |

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 communication, 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 cover 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, assaults, and
fight, the dog gives officers the edge, apprehending suspects quickly and safely. As a detector, the dog
is still unsurpassed because he is able to multiplex trained odors in unusual situations and new
environments.
