If you consider the manner and number of crimes of violence which shame

our society, you will be convinced that there are more areas of need for

dogs at this time than ever before. With the awareness of a need that a

dog can fill in a singular way, there comes a multitude of questions.

Police chiefs and others, who on the one hand are responsible for the

effectiveness and economy of their administrations, and on the other

hand must maintain good public relations, need solutions, not mere

answers, to forestall the problems that often becloud the survey,

procurement, and training factors of installing police dogs in a

department. Similarly, those individuals in business and industry who

have been harassed by vandalism and theft have asked how dogs can meet

their specific needs and how to establish such a service for plant

protection.

The military has encountered many problems of security as the strategic

importance of new electronically-oriented installations increases. In

addition to such security values, the dog is being considered as an aid

to certain types of combat operations.

The constant security and peace of mind that a dog of proven reliability

can bring to a home has caused thousands of family heads to ask how they

may procure and maintain dogs of predictable effectiveness for the

protection of home, yard, automobile, and boat.

This book is specifically designed to provide the solutions to these

problems.

PREFACE

TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN:

I, Raymond E. Shultz, residing at 732 Screenland Drive, Burbank,

California, do hereby certify that the following information, pertaining

to the experience and accomplishments of W. R. Koehler, of 5059 State

Street, Ontario, California, is factual.

According to War Department Credentials, Mr. Koehler served as a dog

trainer at the Pomona Ordnance Base, and was transferred from that Base

to the War Dog Reception and Training Center, San Carlos, California,

where he served as a Principal Trainer. Further evidence establishes,

that in addition to instructing officers and enlisted men, Mr. Koehler

did training of a specialized nature.

From July 1946 through this date, Mr. Koehler has served as Chief

Trainer for the obedience program of the Orange Empire Dog Club, the

largest open membership dog club in the United States. Statistics show

that during this period more than 14,000 dogs participated in the

obedience classes sponsored by the above organization. He also

conducted classes in tracking and specialized training for that club.

From 1946 through 1957 Mr. Koehler served as Class Instructor for

obedience classes sponsored by the Boxer Club of Southern California.

Club records show that during that period more than 1100 dogs

participated in these classes.

Mr. Koehler served as Instructor for obedience classes sponsored by the

Doberman Pinscher Club of Southern California. During the period of his

instruction, 90 dogs participated in these classes.

From 1954 through 1960, Mr. Koehler served as Instructor for the Field

Dog Classes sponsored by the Irish Setter Club of Southern California,

which are open to all pointing breeds. Records show that 140 dogs have

received instruction in this specialized training program.

Additional classes, for which the number of participants has been

substantiated, bring the total number of dogs trained in Mr. Koehle r's

classes to well over 15,700.

The following innovations have been accredited to Mr. Koehler's work in

the field of obedience classes:

Introduction of foundation work with a longed line, in conjunction with

a complete absence of oral communication, as an emphatic means of

instilling attentiveness into a dog.

Introduction of a system of gradually diminishing the length of a light

line, used in conjunction with other equipment, as an assurance of a

dog's reliable off-leash performance.
