The American Scent Hound Association
represents a style of training for canines used in
human scent specific tracking.

ASHA was established in March of 1994 by a group
of individuals in the law enforcement
establishment as well as the private sector.  
Dedicated and committed to the proper training of
two Bluetick Coonhounds, Ben and Travis, in
scent specific tracking for law enforcement
agencies, these individuals were instrumental in
the successful service record of these canine
brothers.

ASHA continues to function today and represents
a style of training which enhances the natural
hunting abilities inherent to dogs.  With the
formation of S.T.O.R.M. in 2004, Scent Trackers of
the Rocky Mountains, ASHA training has proven to
be a successful style allowing the dogs to use
their senses and intelligence in tracking, trailing
and air scenting their subjects.
