The Reliable Detection Dog: A Manual to Naturally Train, Validate, and Improve Accuracy

By L E Papet

Today, the use of trained detection dogs is growing exponentially both in volume and the number of disciplines. While the general public quickly associate detection dogs with police drug dogs, explosive detection dogs, or search and rescue (SAR) teams, the ever-expanding number of disciplines now includes use in medicine, conservation, eradication, safety, forensic evidence, environmental remediation, agriculture, and much more. This book will discuss all aspects of dog and handler training--both at the outset as well as working in teams in active deployment. Canine physiology, best practices, implementation, and continual testing for improved results will be emphasized throughout the book.
