When I started my work as a pet detective, I had a strong interest in training Dante as a scent-specific trailing dog to help in locating missing pets.  Training a trailing dog usually takes several years of dedicated work before the dog is ready to take cases.  Unfortunately, I have been unable to find the time to consistently work on Dante’s training.  I still do have plans to eventually offer search dog services, either with Dante or another dog, but currently my lost pet work has taken on new priorities.

If you have a strong interest in a search dog, I may be able to refer you to someone depending on your location and circumstances.  Prior to hiring a search dog, I would suggest reading this article on Using a Search Dog to Find a Missing Pet.
