K9 Mantrailing - Our Way. This book is a basic course in the use of canines for finding their quarries on land. The quarry may be a lost or runaway child, Alzheimer's patient, lost hunter or hiker, criminal, or escaped felon. In each case, the scenario and influential factors affecting the search success will vary. However, a properly trained canine and handler can save hundreds of man-hours, plus the stress and frustration that accompanies any search operation. Tim and Suzy made an effort to either prove or disprove scientifically what they thought to be true. Having done so, much more is needed in terms of field studies. Thinking "outside the box" the authors have attempted to learn what their canines' capabilities are and if it can be useful in the field. This book is vast collection of their practical experiences both in training, field studies and actual deployments. K9 Mantrailing - Our Way is a must read for the novice and experienced trailing handler.
