Great Guide to beginnning your SAR canine

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.

Great book, begginers first choice!!!

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!!!

clear,concise, easy to follow, a beginners delight

As a dog lover just starting in the training of a golden retriever I found this book to be clear, concise, easy to follow. In fact a beginners delight!Each section is full of "how to" information that follows a logical step by step process to achieving the goal of a superbly trained dog/handler.

Excellent training in an easy format

Susan Bulanda's READY! is an excellent book for begineer and expert alike. The methodologies of dog training outlined in the text have provided our team with an invaluable resource. The training "problems" outlined for the reader are also an excellent training tool for canine rescue teams.

THIS IS "THE" BOOK ON SEARCH AND RESCUE!

This easy-to-read, well-researched book by an obviously experienced search and rescue person covers everything from the history of Search and Rescue through every possible aspect of training, including the basics of how a dog begins to learn. Illustrated with photos and sketches, this book provides a wonderful resource for anyone interested in Search and Rescue. It's no wonder this book was nominated as a Best Book of The Year by The Dog Writers' Association of America! It's a job well-done by an author with first-hand knowledge of her subject.
