An excellent documentation

This was an extremely interesting expose of how police K'9's are actually trained in some cases. This inhumane treatment should be thoroughly investigated. Since the author got her information first hand, one could hardly question her information.

Brave woman exposes police brutality of dogs

While I have read many books about humans' vile treatment of animals, Ms. Marston's "Breaking the Code of Silence" is the first book I have seen on the topic of abusive training of dogs by K-9 officers. She is to be commended, not only for bringing this sadistic practice to light, but for bravely persevering against intimidation and thinly veiled threats by the cowards who abused the dogs, and the cowards, at high levels of authority, who covered up the abuse. This book should be read by all animal lovers - and also by those who, while they may not have a personal attachment to animals, are moved by issues of injustice and violence against the vulnerable by those in positions of power (and ALL humans are in positions of power in relationship to animals, who are at our mercy, or lack thereof). ...This book is also highly recommended for those seeking trainers for their own companion dogs. Do NOT ever hire a trainer who uses these methods and who will not let you be present when the dog is being trained (aside from the abuse, any trainer who does not insist that the dog's human be present to be part of the training procedure, is not doing a proper job). ...
