This book covered all the fundamentals I wanted to know about Search and Rescue dog training. My only complaint is the poor quality of the printing. Some of the pictures were such poor quality you couldn’t make out the images. But the information it contains is vital to anyone considering doing this type of dog training.
This book is very well written. It brings everthing together without going over board. I have read everyone of the books out currently from other authors, and this one is on my top list for recommendation to other prospective SAR persons.
