Synopsis

After reading, I went back and studied this outstanding book, which I believe will benefit all dog handlers working in SAR. This book covers most of our issues when training or out on deployments. Vi Shaffer has a wealth of knowledge and is good enough to share this information with us. A super book for all handlers.
