Jan Tweedie has a very practical approach to training the trailing dog in language and examples that are easy to understand and put to use. One of the best books I own (in my ever expanding library about scent and scent dogs) regarding training a trailing dog and general information about search dogs. A real gem!

Jan Twedie's book is the most comprehensive and thorough document available on the techniques of mantrailing. The advice given is very valuable to those who have the stamina and courage to train and work mantrailing bloodhounds. Highly recommended.
