TESTIMONIAL:

 While being a K-9 handler with the Sheriff’s Office from 2007-present I have encountered highs and lows, things to celebrate and things that have saddened. I have been involved with several criminal cases, evidence searches, and missing person cases. We have successfully located people that want to be found, people that didn't and persons that need to be found. I was fortunate enough to trained using The Kocher Method by Kevin in 2007. TKM is the easiest, most fundamentally sound method there is. Not saying other methods don't work, TKM is less complicated, simplified, and understandable. You are taught to read and trust you partner to receive an outcome with positive results.
