Search and Rescue Dog Training

Rating:
Summary: INVALUABLE When You Can Find It!!
Review: This book was written to be helpful when training dogs, particularly German Shepherds, to function effectively in search-and-rescue missions. Well-trained SAR scent dogs and handlers are an incredibly good resource. This book will help any dedicated SAR man or woman (the author is a woman dog-handler) achieve a high standard of service and performance in their community.

CHAPTERS include: THEORY behind scent training; Selecting and Socializing a Dog; Skills & Equipment for SAR Dog Handlers; Developing & Maintaing the SAR Dog Unit; Basic, Intermediate & Advanced SAR Training; Wilderness Searching; Avalanche Searching; Disaster Searching; Winning the Search Game.

A highly recommended book, when you can find a copy, for everyone who works to be a MASTER in this field.
