The purpose of this study was to explore the feasibility of training tracker dogs to work off-leash in conjunction with a helicopter to locate enemy personnel. The two essential elements of the task were considered to be the ability of the dog to work off-leash, independent of the handler, and the ability of the dog to display stalking behavior. This latter term was defined as the dog vigorously pursuing a target while carefully avoiding alerting target personnel to his persence. Two Labrador retrievers were trained to the independent tracking task while two different animals were trained to display the stalking response. The dogs were trained for six weeks and their behavior successfully demonstrated. Although a few problems pertinent to the pretrial effectiveness of the overall dog/helicopter team still need to be worked out, it would appear that the feasibility of training suitable behavior on the part of the dog has been established.
