Foreword for K9 Trailing; The Straightest Path:

"Constant failure is not an option for me nor should it be for any handler interested in saving lives and solving crime.  There was a time when I did not know what success in trailing was and I had to take a serious look at my training protocols. The "Straightest Path” is nothing more than a simple and honest path to good trailing training based not only on all of my experience in the field being successful, but also all of my failures.  There can be no growth without both. I will outline my method for working trailing dogs, step by step, and with only one goal in mind: finding people.  This program was designed for anyone handling a trailing dog and I have been teaching it now for over a decade.  It is important to offer to others what was so generously given to me by many of the great handlers of the past and present.

...Follow me, if you dare, to a path less traveled!"

We believe that you should have shipping choices and we have integrated United Parcel Service, UPS, into our shipping platform here on Shopify. Historically, we have relied on the United States Postal Service for the bulk of our orders. However, we have received numerous complaints about poor tracking ability with USPS and delayed shipments overseas in particular. Based on our experience to date, UPS is very reliable in all levels of tracking parcels and very responsive with inquiries. This cannot be said with USPS which seems to have a very non-responsive customer service department when following up on packages and the tracking system is not up to date. That being said, USPS priority mail parcels are super fast and reliable in the continental United States. They are also the least expensive. However, when sending packages overseas, USPS reliability falls off significantly and the tracking system has proven to be less than helpful. The choice is yours and we only want to make sure that you are happy with your orders. We understand that timely delivery is part of that satisfaction process. We recommend United Parcel Service shipping for all international orders. The cost is approximately 7% more but the security and timely delivery may be worth it.
