Product Description
All America is thrilled by Search and Rescue missions, especially when the well-trained dogs are brought in to save victims of earthquakes, hurricanes and man-made disasters. We watch with fascination and horror as these tales unfold across our TV sets. This is one of the few comprehensive books on the training of SAR dogs. It is a complete approach to training for this type of dog.

5 out of 5 stars Great for more ideas   September 27, 2009
Kate L. Huver (USA)
"Ready" was one of the first SAR books I had read, but it gave me so many ideas as were to go next. I kept a full page of little notes from this book on what I really wanted to remember. It gave me many new ideas. This has to be one of the best books available for those getting into the SAR dog, or just wanting some more training ideas.


4 out of 5 stars Good information - bad pictures   February 23, 2006
Artemis Doglover (Alamogordo, NM United States)
This book offers thorough information about search and rescue work as well as tips for picking, training and handling your SAR dog. Even though it has some nice drawings of SAR work and -dogs from Nina Bondarenko the photographs are bad and quite old. My issue is the fifth printing, published in 2002 and it would have been nice if some recent photographs of better quality could have replaced the original ones from 1994.
All in all a very good and informative book about SAR training, forget most of the photographs.

Great book for gettting the basics for beginning Search and Rescue work with a canine. Book gives a step-by-step approach to training the canine as well as the handler. I recommend this book to anyone that needs information in canine SAR work.


5 out of 5 stars Great book, begginers first choice!!!   August 2, 2001
17 out of 19 found this review helpful

This is a great book if, you're either starting SAR work or just want to know what's it all about! It's clear, well written, with many b/w photos and drawings. It's easy to follow and to understand all the basic's. However, if you want to buy something, very complete, you have experience, etc. This may not be what you're looking for. Still, I'll add it to my collection!!!
