Pet Locating Methods
Using a Trained Tracking Dog
....
I am a highly experienced pet detective in lost animal behavior and investigative techniques to find lost pets with over 400 cases since January 2009. I also have over 25 years experience in dog training in a wide variety of dog sport competitions with over 55 titles completed. In addition, I have spent over 10 years working and volunteering in animal shelters throughout the Bay Area, including over three years as an Animal Services Officer.
We have been involved in the recovery of many lost animals including George, a former research Beagle, lost for six days in Pescadero, and found in less 20 minutes. Axl, a black and tan terrier mix, lost in San Francisco for two days, and found in less than 30 minutes. And, after two hours, Karma, a Pit Bull mix was found stuck in a dry creek bed in Central California, near Atascadero, after being lost for five days.
If you would like to read a blog of ALL my cases since March 2009 and their successes, here is the link: www.petdetectivecaseblog.blogspot.com. You will find detailed information about each case and GPS tracking maps showing exactly where we traveled. All personal information remains confidential and is never posted without permission, and any active and open police cases are never displayed.
My working partner is a highly experienced, trained, awarded, titled, accomplished and hard-working search dog by the name of Dino, who can track your lost pet from their last known location in the exact direction of their travel. In September 2012, he won an Honorable Mention in a national Search and Rescue awards competition, winning out over 200 dogs. Here is his blog: http://dinostraining.blogspot.com/
Some animals can travel very far when they are lost, and some are found close by. With a proper scent article from your pet and their last known location we can follow any animal who has been missing for up to four weeks. Make sure any scent items belonging to your missing pet are immediately bagged individually in clean, unscented plastic bags.
I have very reasonable and affordable rates, and we can talk on the phone to discuss your case and review all the available options. Having lost a pet in the past, I am fully aware of the agony and heartbreak that occurs trying to find a lost pet. I want to help you in every way possible to bring your beloved pet back home safely.
I am a San Francisco native, and I have always lived in the Bay Area. I currently live in the East Bay, and I have immediate access to anywhere in the Bay Area and Northern California in a very short time. Many times I can schedule a search the same day.
Feel free to contact me directly on my cell phone at 510/415-6185 or my email address: jackie@thesocialpet.com.
I look forward to hearing from you

Using Flyers and Posters
As soon as you know your pet is missing, you need to start immediately to look for them. Time is critical. Start by notifying your local shelters. The start putting up large, bright posters and fliers around your neighborhood. You can go directly to your neighbor's doors to hand them the fliers. More information about designing an effective lost pet flyer.
For more information on using/creating fliers please visit the Missing Pet Partnership website.
We offer a professional flyer and poster design service to make high quality and high impact posters and fliers to help get the attention of people to get your pet safely back home.
Using Intuition
I have been trained by and taken many classes andseminars by Marta Williams, one of the top animal communicators in the field. Please contact Marta directly to set up a session to help her find your lost pet through the use of intuitive communication.
Using Traps
Dr. Lisa Pierson has a great video available on how to build a drop trap for cats. Written instructions on building a drop trap and a remote drop trap are available on her website.
