January 14, 2023Tiarra and her dogs will always hold a special place in our hearts. Our pup was gone after being hit by a car for two days. She was in thick woods that is 3 miles deep behind our house. She is brindle and blended into the forest floor. Tiarra left at the end of a very long first day without success. We had a total of 23 people searching. Tiarra showed up the next afternoon with different dogs. She had a “ feeling” about a spot she had visited the previous day. A half hour into the search, they found her in scrunched down in the woods settling in for another night alone in the woods. Her ankle was broken, so Tiarra followed us to the ER. She stayed with us while she had her ankle splinted and checked out. It was 11:30 pm when Tiarra headed home - a good hours drive. We are forever grateful to her and her dogs. Unbelievable group!! She knows her stuff!! 😜.

January 29, 2023Very professional, informative, caring & incredibly supportive! I am a veterinarian who recently lost my puppy, and I was very impressed by the people I had contact with in this group. Beyond just K9 tracking, this team had all the best info on comprehensive and greatly varied action steps I could take to increase the chances of finding my pet. Our K9 scent track was scheduled for this evening, and thankfully thanks to the great advice from this team, my pup was found this morning and is now home safe & sound. Cannot thank you all enough. Highly recommend contacting the instant you know your pet is lost!!!

February 4, 2023My kitty of 12 years went missing Friday night, never been outside alone before.. we waited a few nights and no return. We searched our entire yard and next door neighbors and even into the woods behind our house, but no sign. We left food, water, and familiar scented clothing outside, but nothing. We asked all surrounding neighbors, posted flyers and anything else we could think of. We have heard coyotes a few months ago, and know of a fox being at our neighbors before, so I didn’t want to wait any longer. On Tuesday we had Suzanne, Levi & Quincy come down. We tracked for about two hours total, but ultimately were led to a cow farm a mile away, where we did have to pass across I think two roads to get to there. We had one person mention they think they saw a cat recently in the woods near that farm, matching my kitty’s description. We left a scent trail leading home, as well as two have a heart traps, and some yummy tuna. Two nights after leaving the scent trail, we found him in one of the traps we set in our garage. He made the trek home, surviving the roads and any animals he may have been near. Covered in ticks, a little freaked out, hungry, but finally safe home after almost a week gone. They have an amazing team, very kind, & filled with great advice. The dogs were amazing. I think it’s great they use two dogs to verify the scent. Very dedicated workers. Highly recommend. Thank you

February 26, 2023We originally started to investigate the idea of scent tracking dogs with someone closer to us but when that fell through we went with dcp Pet Tracking Dogs as a secondary option. Let me tell you, did we luck out!!! Suzanne was amazing and the dogs we spectacular. We tracked my lost chihuahuas scent for about 5.5 miles before we ran out of light and although we are still searching for her, we are very grateful to know she was on the move and more importantly....where she went! What a relief dcp Pet Tracking Dogs has been in this time of crisis for us! Thank you!

March 8, 2023Losing a pet is a truly terrifying experience. Our dog, Bruce, had taken off after a deer and five days later was still missing. I had lost hope in his safe return, especially considering the sub-freezing temperatures he was lost in. My phone call to K9 Trackers was returned almost immediately and the information and reassurances I received breathed fresh hope and the first moments of peace I’d had in 5 days. The trackers were scheduled to track Bruce the following day, in the midst of a snow storm. Luckily, Bruce was found at 2:30 that morning when he jumped into a snowplow truck. I truly believe that though we never technically used the K9 Trackers services, the phone call and plan breathed energy into the situation and helped facilitate the luck/fate that brought Bruce home... in addition to giving me peace of mind, reassurance and hope. Thank you so much you guys!!!

March 17, 2023I cannot recommend dcp Pet Tracking Dogs more highly. I am part of a rescue and we had a lost foster dog down in Delaware. Suzanne was instrumental in helping Eve return home after 2 weeks on the run. She was professional, knowledge, and always available for any questions whether through text, phone call, or email. Our first phone call was 90 minutes. We never felt rushed and learned so much from her. She even helped us to locate a trapper in the more immediate area. I'm happy to say we did never end up having to meet in person though we had scheduled for Suzanne to come down after Eve was found. We are incredibly grateful and so lucky to have had her help!

- Bridgton, MaineI wanted to share my experience with dcp Pet Tracking Dogs. Recently I was able to take part in a search for a friends dog that had been missing for about 10 days without any sightings. I reached out to Tiarra and her K-9 team in hope of getting some answers. I have heard many great things about dcp Pet Tracking Dogs and so many success stories, however I was still on the fence of believing it was possible for a K-9 unit to track another dog. Well it is definitely possible. On the morning of the search we received our very first sighting and when dcp Pet Tracking Dogs showed up we immediately went to that location. Owner Tiarra gave us a run through on what different actions meant (sit and bark if no scent, paw on leg if decomposition scent) so that we would know what each signal meant. K-9 Mason started the search off and immediately picked up scent and followed a path down to the lake where we immediately found fresh tracks. He then lead us on an hour hike down the lake and into a campground still on the trail. After an hour we still could not catch up to the dog we were looking for and we decided to give Mason a break. We went back to the truck and out came K-9 unit Bella. Bella tracks much tighter than Mason and did not pick up scent where Mason did and gave the sign for no scent. We walked a bit further down towards the lake and tested her again, she gave the sign for no scent yet again. We decided to then take her down to the lake and asked her to track again and she immediately took off on the same trail Mason had lead us down confirming Charity had in fact been there. I was shocked at the ability of these dogs and in aw just watching them. It's just like watching search and rescue dogs for humans only for your pets. Thank you Tiarra, Mason and Bella for you fantastic work and great service. By confirming her location we were able to set feeding stations, cameras, and post flyers in the right areas. 2 days later due to having our flyers in the right area Charity was found. Without the K-9 team we we would not have known which direction to go. Thank You and Paws up!
