PERSONAL
Mr. Reaver became involved with Police Dog Training in 1960 in Germany and Holland where
he assisted in training Police & Sport Dogs while training several dogs of his own.
Upon returning to this country he continued his education in the area of working dogs and
returned to Europe frequently for updated training. He became involved in the Schutzhund
sport in this country during its forming stages in 1972. He was training director and held
office in several Schutzhund Clubs.
During the 1970,s he became aware of a procurement and training program used by most law
enforcement agencies that had not changed in many years. As an extension of his interest
in dogs he set out to introduce more current techniques from Europe.
