Dog Obedience.
FORWARD: So many times I receive a call from a frustrated dog partner.
We don't call them dog owners anymore. He or she has spent lots of their time, money, and energy attending a number of dog obedience courses where they failed to learn anything. Their statements to me are that, "they are totally frustrated because their dog won't listen to them".
So, I meet with the dog's human partners, not just one of them, but all of them.
Everyone in the family so I can see the family pack structure. I then spend about an hour with all of them explaining animal communication skills. Within the hour, I have the humans fully trained. If you train the dog and not the dog partners, you are wasting your time, money and energy.
99.9% of the time, when the dog fails to listen, the dog isn't understanding what the dog partners wants him or her to do. So, I just teach the dog partners how to listen and read their dog’s body language. I also teach them how to communicate with their loved one so everyone understands what each other wants and need, and they all get along just fine.
Dogs learn like human children learn, through repeated verbal responses and physical commands, associated with physical actions.
Training with love not fear.
If you train the dog through torture or fear of being tortured with pain by using choke chains, pinch collars, shock collars, intimidation, and fear, then the poor dog will respond only out of fear of being hurt, tortured, and injured.
Hitting, yelling, choking, threatening, shocking, are all current means that are used by uneducated lazy local so called animal behavior specialists.
These methods for those of us who are educated in the Love, Hugs, and Kisses method of teaching, would not never ever approve of, nor will we ever tolerate any of these actions under any circumstances in our classrooms.
My method is called Love, Hugs and Kisses. I teach my instructors and students (dogs and partners) through mutual respect, love, hugs, and kisses. (We kiss the dogs not the students).
I've taught around the world, to over 20,000 search dogs, services dogs, police patrol dogs, and dogs in general for basic obedience. My methods teach the dog through love, hugs, and kisses response just like I would a human child.
I treat the dog the same way I would want to be treated. This method works in that the dog learns respect for its self, its partner, you and others that it comes in contact with, such as your friends and family.
Change your mindset. You are not the dog’s owners. I want you to get into the mind set that you are your dog’s best friend and life partner. You live together, sleep together, and eat together. Share good and bad times together, and no matter what you do or say, your dog(s) will be there for you no matter what happens. He or she, (Your dog), deserves 100% of your love and respect and for you to be there for your dog.
After all they see you at your worst. In the am when you are naked, bad breath, bad body odor, bad hair, and all. Yet they aren’t judging, they still love you. You in return will get nothing less then 100% of their love in return.
Communication.
Communication, being able to listen and communicate with your partner, will make you and your dog partner a perfect team. Mutual love, respect and understanding will then exist. Start with understanding your dog’s body language. When a puppy is born, she / he will submit to an older alpha dog.
The submitting dog will lower its head, eyes, ears, and tail and will cower to say, "I submit, you are in charge". The dog’s psychological mental status and self-esteem can be made strong or broken at this time.
If the dog's alpha partner is loving, gentle and consistent in all of their control issues, the dog’s physic will remain intact and confident. If the alpha partner is over-bearing and too strong, the submitting dog will lose it's confidence and be a beta dog. Submissive and lacking in confidence. Suffering from low self-esteem.
Dogs have the same exact emotions that you and I do. Remember this; they feel sadness, jealousy, happiness, anger, guilt, and all that goes with these emotions.
So it's your responsibility to learn how to communicate, listen and teach. First start out by kneeling down or sitting down and give your dog a gentle hug. Tell your dog that, "you love him / her". Example: I will call my dog over and whisper to her," Valorie, come". When she does, I give her a gentle hug, not overpowering, and give her a kiss on the face. I’ll tell her how much I love her and how important she is to me to have her in my life as my partner. I then lay down on the ground and start playing with her favorite toy. Bring out the happiness inside of her. Her reward is love and understanding. I’ll play for about five minutes.
Starting the Obedience.
Before I start obedience work with my dog, I put her in her harness and I hook up her lead 6' lead hooked to the back of the harness. I always use the dog’s first name for a positive command. "Valorie sit, Valorie stay, Valorie come, Valorie heel, Valorie down, etc." I never use her first name in a corrective action.
I don't want her to associate her name with something negative.
When I tell Valorie what I want her to do, I follow through each and every time with a specific hand signal for that specific command. That way if she can't hear me for some reason, she'll see the hand signal and respond immediately. So I'll start working her without distractions at first. I'll give Valorie the command once. "Valorie sit". I then immediately follow through with a hand signal specific for that command. If Valorie responds as expected, I then give her a quick gentle hug, love, and a kiss on her forehead.
When she does what I want her to do, I instantly reward her. If for some reason she doesn't do what I want her to do, then I don't repeat myself. I'll simply put her into the position I asked her to get into. Once she gets into this position, I praise her. "Good girl Valorie, that's my girl, good job". Then I'll give her love, hugs, and kisses. There are no food rewards, no shock, pinch, choke collars and no fear, just positive love, hugs, and kisses.
Should she be distracted or just refuse to listen to me, I immediately walk over to her, put her gently into the position I wanted her in, wait for three seconds then give her a reward.
After repeating this several times, Valorie will learn quickly that when I ask or tell her to do something, it's expected immediately and she'll get love, hugs, kisses, immediately if she listens. If she doesn't listen, she learns quickly that she still has to get into the position and does what she is told. Until then, she doesn't get any love, hugs or kisses reaction until she does listen. Positive reinforcement works.
I perform this action each and every time with Valorie for each command.
Why not use choke chains, pinch collars, shock collars? Because they are cruel. If you love someone then why would you choke or scare them into submission? Just like electric (invisible fencing). I challenge anyone who owns it to put the shock collar around his or her ankle and walk through the fencing.
You only will need to do it once before you throw the fencing and collar in the trash where it belongs. Besides they don't work. I get an average of two calls a week from people missing their dogs who have invisible fencing collars around their necks.
I've trained every breed and mixed breed of dogs known to man. My technique works.
It's been adopted by hundreds of animal trainers, and communicators around the world to include SAR (Search and Rescue) dog handlers, drug enforcement handlers, bomb detection, therapy, and working K-9 Police dog handlers.
There is no such thing as a "STUPID DOG". There are a lot of ignorant human pet partners. People who tie their dog up outside, or leave it all alone in the garage all day while they are gone at work. Put yourself in your dog’s position. Would you want to be treated like this? I don't think so.
A dog is like a child. They absorb everything and anything around them, whether it be positive or negative. There are a lot dog obedience books out there. Written by many so-called "Experts". If you read through the egos, you'll find they all stress one important factor, communication. The more you are willing to teach your dog partner and listen to your dog partner, the better you both will be as a team.
My dog Valorie understands 145-word vocabulary, 5 hand signals and 5 whistle commands. That's only because I haven't taken more time to teach her more.
Shopping list and class information.
Obedience / Safety.
1. 6 foot long leather or nylon leash. (Thickness should correspond to the size of the dog).
2. Training harness only. No choke chains, pinch collars, shock collars, or any other collar allowed to include flea collars. (Flea collars don’t work. Don’t waste your money). Nothing around the dog’s neck. No id collars.
3. A 20-50 foot long line, gardening or leather gloves to protect your hands. Please note this is used for long distance recalls like “come”. Also for boundary training, and long distance stays and recalls. Please do not confuse it with a retractable leash which are not allowed in my classes for any reason.
4. Treats are not allowed for you or your dog partner during training.
5. All dogs should have a simple to read id tag stating the human partners name and telephone# and an emergency # belonging to next of kin or friend of the family. This should be attached to the back of the dogs harness. I highly recommend you get your dog micro chipped with an AVID or HOME AGAIN chip. Make sure you contact the microchip company and register your current contact information and an emergency other contact information, in case you are injured or killed in an accident.
6. Sturdy shoes and or boots for footgear are recommended. No open toed shoes or sandals please.
7. All work and no play makes learning less enjoyable. Try Go-FRR BALLS, the slingshot action fetch balls will turn your couch potato into a lean machine. Frisbees work well also.
8. You dog must be healthy in order to learn. Proper diet maximizes your dog's potential. My trainers recommend proper diet of premium hard kibble for all stages of your dogs training and life.
9. All children must be under control. An adult human must supervise children under ten. I don’t mind if you use a shock collar on the human kids. (Just kidding).
Problem solving.
1. CHEWING-Proper diet-ask your trainer which formula is right for your dog or puppy. Nylabones, gumabones, rhino toys, bitter apple (spray and paste), an old t-shirt or sock wetted down and tied in a knot and frozen in the freezer helps young teething tikes.
2. DIGGING-Small lava rocks, toys as noted above, nail clippers to cut dog's nails. Teach them where it's appropriate to dig (sand box, etc.) and where not to dig. Usually they dig because they are ignored and bored. Negative attention is better then no attention. Remember your dog can hear a heart beat at 5 feet away. They may be digging for that mole or gopher they hear crawling around under the ground.
3. HOUSEBREAKING- I recommend large plastic animal carriers. If you have a small dog and or wish to potty train him/her to a specific spot in your house, use the puppy go potty house training system. When you see them go pee. Tell them "Go PEE" and show them where you want this done. Reward them when they do it correctly. If they make a mistake, don't rub their noses in it, don't hit, spank, or yell. Just say "NO", (never use the dogs name in a corrective action). Take them to the area where you want them to do their business and then give them the "Love hugs and kisses reward system". Soon you'll have them trained to where you want them to go. Yes there will be a few mistakes along the way. Don't make it a big deal. It's not.
4. BARKING-A squirt gun or spray bottle filled with water. NOTE: These devices should not be used unless suggested by your trainer. Now don't get frustrated and use a SUPER SOAKER. Try to figure out why your dog is barking. Remember, they can hear a human heartbeat at 5 feet away. So they may be hearing some strange noises, other dogs barking, footsteps, intruders, before you hear the same noises. If the dog is barking just for attention, then give them attention. Give them an alternative to barking. Play toy, TV, video, radio to be entertained with. Just say, "Quiet" then reward them when they are quiet.
If they refuse to listen and continue to bark, then put them on a leash, take them outside to investigate what it is they are trying to warn you about. Let them see there is no immediate threat. Once that's determined and if they still continue to bark, say, "quiet". If they refuse to be quiet, then spray them once with a squirt gun filled with water. Bring them close to you and reward them once they are quiet through the love, hugs and kisses program. If they still want to bark, then put them on a sit stay in a corner, (time out) and ignore them for a few minutes. They will soon learn that if they want to be in the same room and get the positive loving attention from you and the rest of the family, they will have to listen to you.
NEVER use bark inhibitors, remote trainers, and invisible fencing collars.
These are shock collars and are extremely painful and cruel. If you don't believe me, put it around your ankle, wet it down, and try it on yourself. They have killed several animals. Never use choke chains, pinch collars, or shock collars. These are cruel and inhumane and only ignorant people use these tools. You are now better educated and now know why you shouldn’t ever leave a collar of any kind around your dog’s neck. After training remove the harness from the dog while it's in the house or backyard.
I prefer you use a harness only during training. While the dog is at home, nothing is worn on their body. No harness, collars, or anything else. I've seen many dogs die from getting their flea or id collars caught on furniture, fences, or on another dog’s jaw while playing. As they struggle out of fear of being caught up, and choked, they are strangled to death by their collars.
Use the harness also as a seat belt for your dog. Remember that each time you stop in your car to go shopping, dine out, or tend to business, undo your dog from the seat belt so they can move around. It's a great idea to have your dog micro chipped. Never ever leave your dog in a car on a warm day. Thousands of dogs die needless horrible deaths because their owners leave them in a hot car.
Treat your four-legged child like you would your two-legged child. Dogs have souls. They have feelings, emotions, and a spirit just like you do. They can learn to love, hate, be bitter, embarrassed, suffer from low self-esteem. So please treat them with love, hugs, kisses, and respect and they in turn will reward you with the same. You are equals. Without you, your dog is just that a dog. Without your dog, you are just a human. Lonely without the love of your faithful partner. Together you both make up a great team. A partnership filled with love. Honor that friendship, partnership and love.
Just like you would a small child, prevent your puppy or untrained dog from "practicing" inappropriate behavior. Rewarding correct behavior is also critical. Know what your dog likes and reward with that when he/she is being good. Pull toy, ball, Frisbee, wrestle with them. Don't ignore your dog when he/she is good. Everyone in the family needs to be consistent with the same commands, the same reward system, and the same hand signals. Don't allow your dog partner to engage in behavior that you won't want when they're full-grown.
While group class alone won't solve aggression, aggressive dogs may attend group class under certain circumstances. your trainer will allow your aggressive pet in class provided he/she can be managed well enough to pose NO safety threat to any person, dog or itself.
Often aggression should first be treated in home with private training and followed by group when the dog is ready. your trainer may recommend additional equipment and training techniques which must be used during class to insure everybody's safety as well as optimal learning for the aggressive dog and all other dogs in class.
I've always taught that if you let your dog sleep, in the same bed as your child or at least the same room, allowing the dog to have it's own bed in your room or child's room, they will make a much more manageable dog. They bond more quickly, they are less aggressive, and more protective.
Don't ever just throw your dog outside in a garage, doghouse, or dog run. That's ok for a short break, 15 minutes or so. but would you leave your two legged child tethered up by it's harness outside for hours on end? I hope not. Many dogs are stolen when left outside ignored and sold for medical experiments or dog fighting.
If you love your dog, keep them close. Your dog is a child with fir. He/she lives for love, attention, hugs, kisses, and play. There is no such thing as a STUPID DOG or DUMB DOG. The dog is a reflection of its owner. Often there's a communication break down that occurs and the dog partner simply doesn't understand what is being requested of him/her.
JUMPING. When your dog jumps up on people, they are trying to say, "Hi love me". What you need to do is train your dog to obtain the love the dog desired by sitting down next to the person(s) they greet, so that they can be loved. When the dog goes to jump on you or someone else, gently put your knee in their chest and say, "NO". Then put the dog on a sit stay. When the dog sits, then bend down and give it lots of love. What the dog will learn is that if it jumps it will be rejected. If it sits and stays, it will receive the love it wants and needs.
NEVER ever smoke cigarettes around your pet. Over 550,000 four legged children (pets) die every year from second hand smoke poisoning.
Commands taught: Heel, automatic sit, stay, down, come, down stay, no, release.
Problems addressed: Chewing, digging, housebreaking, jumping, nipping, and barking, peeing, pooping.
Note: Harry has written five books on search dogs, and search and rescue.
He's taught his "Love, hugs, and kisses" program to over 20,000 dogs and their partners around the world since 1986. He's been called the, "dog whisperer". He can communicate with dogs, wolves, and many other four-legged creatures.
Often when other search dog teams have failed at finding the missing, his teams have repeatedly been successful. His search dog teams have been featured on TV shows such as "Rescue 9-1-1, Unsolved mysteries, 60 minutes, 48 hours, 20-20, Dateline, Good day America, MS NBC, and Oprah.
AKC’s Canine Good Citizen Test
1). Accepting a friendly stranger. This test demonstrates that the dog will allow a friendly stranger to approach and speak to the handler in a natural, everyday situation. The evaluator walks up tot the dog and handler and greets the handler in a friendly manner, ignoring the dog. The dog must show no sign of resentment or shyness and must not break position or try to go to the evaluator.
2). Sitting politely for petting.
This test demonstrates that the dog will allow a friendly stranger to touch him while he is out with his handler. With the dog sitting at the handler’s side to begin the exercise, the evaluator pets the dog on the head and body. The dog must not show shyness or resentment.
3). Appearance and grooming.
This test demonstrates that the dog will welcome being groomed and examined and will permit someone, such as a veterinarian, groomer, or friend of the owner, to do so. The evaluator inspects the dog to determine if he is clean and groomed. The dog must appear to be a proper weight, clean, healthy, and alert. The evaluator then softly combs or brushes the dog and, in a natural manner, lightly examines the ears and gently picks up each front foot.
4). Out for a walk (on a loose lead). This test demonstrates that the handler is in control of the dog. The dog’s position should leave no doubt that the dog is attentive to the handler, is responding to the handler’s movements, and changes of direction.
5). Walking through a crowd. This test demonstrates that the dog can move about politely in pedestrian traffic and is under control in public places. The dog and handler walk around and pass close to at least three people the dog may show some interest in strangers but should continue to walk with the handler, without evidence of over exuberance, shyness, or resentment, and without jumping on people or restraining on the leash.
6). “Sit” and “down” on command, and “stay in place”. This test demonstrates that the dog will respond to the handler’s commands to “sit” and “down” and will remain in the place commanded by the handler. The dog must sit and lie down on command, then the owner chooses the position for leaving the dog in the stay. The dog must remain in the place where he was left (he may change position) until the evaluator instructs the handler to release the dog.
7). Coming when called. This test demonstrates that the dog will come when called by the handler. The handler walks 10 feet from the dog, turns to face the dog, and calls the dog. The handler may use encouragement to get the dog to come. The handler may choose to tell the dog to ”stay’ or “wait” or may simply walk away, giving no instructions to the dog.
8). Reacting to another dog. This test demonstrates that the dog can behave politely around other dogs. Two handlers and their dogs approach each other from a distance of about 20 feet, stop, shake hands, exchange pleasantries, and continue on for about 10 feet. The dog should show no more then casual interest in each other. Neither dog should go to the other dog or it’s handler.
9). Reaction to distraction. This test demonstrates that the dog is confident at all times when faced with common distracting situations. The evaluator selects and presents two distractions such as dropping a chair, having a jogger run in front of the dog, or dropping a crutch or cane. The dog may express natural interest and may appear slight startled but should no panic, show aggressiveness, or bark.
10). Supervised separation. This test demonstrates that a dog can be left with a trusted person, if necessary, and will maintain training and good manners. The evaluator says, “Would you like me to watch your dog?” and then takes hold of the dog’s leash. The owner goes out of sight for three minutes. The dog does not have to stay in position but should not continually bark, whine, or show anything stronger than mild agitation or nervousness.

Help Us Find You Safety Program Child ID Kit.
FORWARD:
Children disappear each and every day. Some by parental kidnappings, others through stranger kidnappings. Last year we received over 750 calls for assistance. It’s your responsibility as a parent to help those of us in Law Enforcement and or Search and Rescue to identify your child before they disappear.
Make three copies of this information. One goes with the mom. One goes with the dad. One goes with the grandparents.
When my son was growing up, I updated this information each and every year and scanned the information onto a portable USB drive so when I traveled I had the fingerprints and other important data on file.
Help Us Find You Child Safety programs can save your child’s life. It’s up to you to make the difference by being a SMART parent and having your child identified before the need arises.
Thank You

"INTEGRITY YOU CAN TRUST - SERVICE YOU CAN COUNT ON".
A PERSON IS MISSING.
Here are our search guidelines when we look for a missing person.
This is what helps us find missing persons when no one else can or will.
A PERSON IS MISSING. WHAT SHOULD THE POLICE DO?
Friends and or family of the missing person should immediately call the police; # 9-1-1 if it's a child or endangered adult situation. Don't wait 24 hours, call immediately. Time is of the essence.
POLICE SHOULD:
Register the missing person with N.C.I.C.
Assign a department case #.
Obtain missing persons profile.
Search the PLS (Point Last Seen) for any clues.
Investigate the Who, What, When, Why, Where, and How questions regarding the person’s disappearance.
Interview all witnesses, suspects, form a chronological history of the missing persons where about’s and activities. If you develop a valid suspect, polygraph them.
*If it involves a missing child, please alert all local and national missing children locate centers.
Rule out Willful disappearance, Homicide, Suicide, Accidental death.
*SEARCH DUMPSTERS, LANDFILLS, AREAS WHERE SOMEONE WOULD DUMP A BODY, Water sources, creeks, parks, alleyways, cliffs, ponds, lakes, and rivers. Rural roads. Generally within 10 miles of the PLS. Develop a search plan. Areas of POA's. (Probability of Areas). Areas of POD's (Probability of Detection).
BRING OUT SEARCH DOGS IMMEDIATELY......
As of 1996, there were 171 registered search dog teams in the USA and Canada. Contact your local department of emergency management, within your jurisdiction, for the most qualified search dog teams. Don't rely on your police tracking dogs.
Most are "bad guy chasers" and unless they are trained, tested, and documented, as having tracked OLD scent, you're actually putting your department at risk to a lawsuit if you use them and miss the victim. It doesn't hurt to try, but document the handler’s findings, and then bring in dog teams who are trained to follow old scent.
Immediately gather good scent articles. NEVER let a family member or a friend of the family, hand your officer the scent articles. Only the officer or dog handler should collect these items. Note chain of custody of the scent items in your report/notebook. The officer who does this properly, will be a hero to the dog handlers. Take a NON SMOKING Officer / handler, he / she goes to the residence of the missing person. Put on a pair of rubber gloves and bring 2 clean paper sacks and one large plastic bag FOR EACH item to be collected.
The officer, while wearing rubber gloves, collects non-washed clothing, shoes, pillows, hairbrush, and bed sheets of missing person. Places them individually inside separate paper sacks. Closes paper sacks. Places the paper sack inside another paper sack. Closes paper sack. Places these sacks inside plastic bag and seals bag shut. Never put scent items directly into plastic bags. The plastic bag can destroy scent.
REMEMBER: If you're not happy with the search results of one specific dog team, you can always call in another. We've often found the victim, or clues that lead to the victim, when other dog teams, including bloodhounds, couldn't find them.
Vehicles: Check (RO). Registered operators, note odometer readings. Search car and trunk, noting tire patterns, plant, dirt, mud types in, under, around vehicle. Search closed compartments , if possible, trunks, and glove compartment. Inspect all materials found inside the vehicle. Credit card receipts, notes, trash, cash register receipts. Video record all data if possible. Process for forensic evidence.
Telephone records for last 30 days. Including calling cards, cellular telephones, etc. Outgoing & Incoming.
Homes: Garbage’s, sheds, crawl spaces, attics, personal computers, diaries, notebooks, journals, etc. Check alarm-monitoring stations for detailed records of times alarms/doors were detected open, closed, or set.
Bank Accounts: Any activity on the ATM's? Have bank pull all camera tapes. Pull bank records for last 30 days of all checking’s, savings, other money accounts. Check on computer for "HIDDEN ACCOUNTS".
Offices: Interview fellow employees. Search garbage cans, appointment notebook, computer files. Check "Trash Bin" and deleted files as well as all old and new emails. Check alarm-monitoring stations for detailed records of times alarms/doors were detected open, closed, or set.
Schools: Interview friends, teachers, councilors, and security officials. Review security camera tapes, files. Search lockers, areas of interests.
Develop a press/media release in writing. Give description of what your agency has found out in its investigation. (Limit information on a need to know basis). Ask for the publics help. Set up a call in hotlines, etc.
STORES / RESTAURANTS: Check to see if you can post fliers there. Also check to see if they have security cameras that might have victim on camera at the time of his/her disappearance.
Note for families.
For whatever the reasons, usually most law enforcement agencies, will do only a limited work up on the case. Minimal at best. This is do to many factors, limited manpower, budgets, and other reasons we won't discuss at this time.
If the local police department refuses to do any of this, or if the family of the victim(s) aren't happy with what Law Enforcement has done, then they need to take charge of the search efforts and the investigation and hire a private experienced Search Coordinator, or Private Investigator, to perform each of these tasks. The family MUST CHECK REFERENCES on who they bring in to help in their search efforts. Before you put someone in a position of trust.
Document everything. WHO, WHAT, WHEN, WHY, WHERE, and HOW. Remember the courts usually won't recognize any activity or action, unless it was documented. Set up a private search committee.

Help Us Find You Safety Program Child ID Kit.
FORWARD:
Children disappear each and every day. Some by parental kidnappings, others through stranger kidnappings. Last year we received over 750 calls for assistance. It’s your responsibility as a parent to help those of us in Law Enforcement and or Search and Rescue to identify your child before they disappear.
Make three copies of this information. One goes with the mom. One goes with the dad. One goes with the grandparents.
When my son was growing up, I updated this information each and every year and scanned the information onto a portable USB drive so when I traveled I had the fingerprints and other important data on file.
Help Us Find You Child Safety programs can save your child’s life. It’s up to you to make the difference by being a SMART parent and having your child identified before the need arises.
Thank You

"INTEGRITY YOU CAN TRUST - SERVICE YOU CAN COUNT ON".
A PERSON IS MISSING.
Here are our search guidelines when we look for a missing person.
This is what helps us find missing persons when no one else can or will.
A PERSON IS MISSING. WHAT SHOULD THE POLICE DO?
Friends and or family of the missing person should immediately call the police; # 9-1-1 if it's a child or endangered adult situation. Don't wait 24 hours, call immediately. Time is of the essence.
POLICE SHOULD:
Register the missing person with N.C.I.C.
Assign a department case #.
Obtain missing persons profile.
Search the PLS (Point Last Seen) for any clues.
Investigate the Who, What, When, Why, Where, and How questions regarding the person’s disappearance.
Interview all witnesses, suspects, form a chronological history of the missing persons where about’s and activities. If you develop a valid suspect, polygraph them.
*If it involves a missing child, please alert all local and national missing children locate centers.
Rule out Willful disappearance, Homicide, Suicide, Accidental death.
*SEARCH DUMPSTERS, LANDFILLS, AREAS WHERE SOMEONE WOULD DUMP A BODY, Water sources, creeks, parks, alleyways, cliffs, ponds, lakes, and rivers. Rural roads. Generally within 10 miles of the PLS. Develop a search plan. Areas of POA's. (Probability of Areas). Areas of POD's (Probability of Detection).
BRING OUT SEARCH DOGS IMMEDIATELY......
As of 1996, there were 171 registered search dog teams in the USA and Canada. Contact your local department of emergency management, within your jurisdiction, for the most qualified search dog teams. Don't rely on your police tracking dogs.
Most are "bad guy chasers" and unless they are trained, tested, and documented, as having tracked OLD scent, you're actually putting your department at risk to a lawsuit if you use them and miss the victim. It doesn't hurt to try, but document the handler’s findings, and then bring in dog teams who are trained to follow old scent.
Immediately gather good scent articles. NEVER let a family member or a friend of the family, hand your officer the scent articles. Only the officer or dog handler should collect these items. Note chain of custody of the scent items in your report/notebook. The officer who does this properly, will be a hero to the dog handlers. Take a NON SMOKING Officer / handler, he / she goes to the residence of the missing person. Put on a pair of rubber gloves and bring 2 clean paper sacks and one large plastic bag FOR EACH item to be collected.
The officer, while wearing rubber gloves, collects non-washed clothing, shoes, pillows, hairbrush, and bed sheets of missing person. Places them individually inside separate paper sacks. Closes paper sacks. Places the paper sack inside another paper sack. Closes paper sack. Places these sacks inside plastic bag and seals bag shut. Never put scent items directly into plastic bags.

REMEMBER: If you're not happy with the search results of one specific dog team, you can always call in another. We've often found the victim, or clues that lead to the victim, when other dog teams, including bloodhounds, couldn't find them.
Vehicles: Check (RO). Registered operators, note odometer readings. Search car and trunk, noting tire patterns, plant, dirt, mud types in, under, around vehicle. Search closed compartments , if possible, trunks, and glove compartment. Inspect all materials found inside the vehicle. Credit card receipts, notes, trash, cash register receipts. Video record all data if possible. Process for forensic evidence.
Telephone records for last 30 days. Including calling cards, cellular telephones, etc. Outgoing & Incoming.
Homes: Garbage’s, sheds, crawl spaces, attics, personal computers, diaries, notebooks, journals, etc. Check alarm-monitoring stations for detailed records of times alarms/doors were detected open, closed, or set.
Bank Accounts: Any activity on the ATM's? Have bank pull all camera tapes. Pull bank records for last 30 days of all checking’s, savings, other money accounts. Check on computer for "HIDDEN ACCOUNTS".
Offices: Interview fellow employees. Search garbage cans, appointment notebook, computer files. Check "Trash Bin" and deleted files as well as all old and new emails. Check alarm-monitoring stations for detailed records of times alarms/doors were detected open, closed, or set.
Schools: Interview friends, teachers, councilors, and security officials. Review security camera tapes, files. Search lockers, areas of interests.
Develop a press/media release in writing. Give description of what your agency has found out in its investigation. (Limit information on a need to know basis). Ask for the publics help. Set up a call in hotlines, etc.
STORES / RESTAURANTS: Check to see if you can post fliers there. Also check to see if they have security cameras that might have victim on camera at the time of his/her disappearance.
