Search and Rescue Dogs: Training the K-9 Hero August 10, 2004

A very well written book on the overview of the selection, training and care of the search and rescue dog. The authors provide addtional information on subjects such as how to form a rescue team (unit) and how to train for an actual incident. Wilderness searches, urban disasters, avalanche and cadaver training, and water rescues are all covered, and the case studies of actual missions make this a very interesting read.
A ++ reading! Very Helpful! June 2, 2003

I was new to SAR when I picked up this book. It is very well written and easy for the beginner to read, and has wonderful ideas for the more advanced dogs too. It covers all, from tracking and cadaver to avalanche work! A must have for a new trainer!
A must-read for anyone interested in K-9 Search and Rescue. December 12, 2002

This is an excellent book. It covers a wide array of SAR scenarios, including the new section on disaster searches. A must-read, from the foremost authority on K-9 Search and Rescue. We all have ARDA to thank for bringing K-9 SAR stateside. A fabulous 2nd edition!
Awesome! November 23, 2002

This book is awesome! I have the first edition,and this one is even better. The chapter on Disaster Missions is both interesting and informative. The steps for training to meet the FEMA standards is something I've been looking for, as well as the training for cadaver work. I can't recommend this book highly enough, both for new and experienced handlers.
