The basis for this book is my experience with some of the most intelligent, confounding dogs that I have ever worked with: Military MPC’s or Multi-Purpose Canines. My career over the last twenty-five years has taken me far indeed. To almost every continent on the Earth and twenty-five countries all for tracking training, but of all the programs I have been part of, these last seven years have been the most amazing and educational. I believe I have learned more in the last several years than I have in the last couple of decades.So, what is an MPC? For those of you “old school” guys it means patrol K9 or the dog that has multiple jobs such as area search, tracking, explosives or narcotics detection, as well as apprehension/ protection. From a search & rescue standpoint, it could be a combination of trailing/ tracking, air scent, and human remains detection. Multi-Purpose Canine is just an extension of this doggy job description. However, I do have to say that the Special Operations Command dogs bring things to an entirely new level. Our US Military SOCOM dogs are truly some of the most exciting, intelligent creatures I have ever worked with and are the basis for this book. Who is this book for? Well, honestly, it is for any dog trainer or handler with a caveat. Certain dog handlers will find that this program simply moves too fast, and their dogs take more repetition and time. It is simply too much, too soon. There is nothing wrong with that and if there is a need for more time, just take it and realize that there is no hurry. The two-week time frame for this program is designed for those exceptional animals that work a myriad of jobs and do them all exceptionally well, the really gifted dogs that pick up on things super-fast. Regardless of what type of dog you have, the training steps in this book will bring you to an entirely new level in urban tracking.
