Law Enforcement Tracking / Trailing K-9s | Belgian Malinois and Bloodhounds

Trailing dogs are trained to follow the path that a lost person has taken. Similar to traditional "tracking" dogs, these dogs require a properly preserved scent article and are not distracted by other people in the area.  These dogs work on long leashes. Trailing dogs most frequently work trails that are several days old.

 

Tracking / Trailing canines serve the law enforcement community by following suspects scent.  Unlike typical patrol dogs, the Bloodhounds are scent specific.  They are trained to only follow the suspects scent.  For instance... If a group of three people were involved in a shooting, the canine would only follow the person who shot the gun.  By using the bullet casings as your scent article, the person who loaded and fired the weapon is the scent the dog would trail.
