Great book.......2006-02-23

The book was sent on time, and it cost less then other places that I looked at. Nice shape, and a great place to buy from. Kudo's!

CADAVER DOG HANDBOOK.......2005-09-25

This is an excellent book! Great for the civilian SAR Dog Handler or a person jutst doing research on the subject.

Tremendous resource book (especially for the Novice and/or Advanced SAR Dog Handler) for trouble shooting Handler/SAR Dog problems and maintaining a training program/profile.

Could also be utilized in conjunction with a qualified/competent instructor.

Best Reference Book Out There.......2002-01-28

I found this handbook well written, organized and thorough. A must have for anyone interested or involved in this specialized field of cadaver dog handlers.

Great information and an easy read to boot...........2002-01-24

For the starting cadaver dog handler this book is a must. I recommend it to all my students. It does an excellent job of detailing the scent imprinting training, establishing a readable alert and the advancement of training. Not only does it cover the handling and training of the dog but discusses in depth the handlers responsibilities and information useful to any agency wishing to deploy the cadaver dog. Excellent information in a basic readable form. Not much experience in scent work needed prior to implementing these techniques. A wealth of information.

Search Dog Training.......2002-04-09

This is one of the main books I used in training my own SAR Dogs. This is a wonderful book that they need to put back out in print so it is not so hard to find. If you are able to get this book you will treasure it for years to come.

A must for those entering SAR, with or without a K-9 partner.......1998-06-15

I first read this book in 1988, since then 5 copies have been permanently "borrowed." I would suggest this well-written book for anyone thinking of starting a young dog in SAR. Bryson gives excellent information on everything from picking puppies for the work, to how a scene can get screwed up. This book makes good reading for folks in EMS and law enforcement as well. It's an easy read, and packed with useful information. It remains one of my favorite, and most recommended dog training books.

Why I rated this book with 4 stars..........2001-08-03

If you're looking for more serious information and training for SAR dogs these is a GREAT book. It's clear, well written with serious information on what a SAR dog AND handler must be like. It takes you from step 1 (choosing a puppy) to having a full operational SAR dog (radio communication, handler's, training step by step, etc).

So, why 4 stars and not 5? This book isn't very open to different techniques, methods, dogs or info from around the world. For wood search it's very good. If you want info on avalanche or disaster search it's not very complete.

Super Book!!.......2001-03-07

I am quite involved in K-9 SAR and I really found this book helpful. I think on the training part of the dog it really zips through it faster than it should unlike Susan Bulanda's book "Ready, the training of the search and rescue dog". I still thin all parts are very well done. If you are getting into SAR or already involved you should consider this book as a part of your search dog library.

Very Informative, a good bginning resource........1999-06-07

This book was very informative resource. It provide a starting point but should be used in conjunction with practical help from others already involved. The book is well written and easy to read. Worth money and time to read.

GOOD BOOK.......2003-11-08

A good book written by someone who has done the hard yards. Certainly one of the better dog training books in my library and one that I recommend off my web site. wwwrossallan.com

excellent.......2001-07-28

This book is especially good for the person starting out. It goes step by step in each training method and gives good pictures and drawings of the exercises to be performed. You are given traits to look for when selecting your K-9 partner as well as what to avoid. You are told exactly what to expect and if you do not get the desired result to repeat the lessons until you do. It was very benefitial to me with my first police dog.

THE book.......2005-11-20

The Duet's books are foundational for this field, and the criticisms leveled here are from fellow trainers looking to score some easy points by firing arrows at shadows.

The Duets know a thing or two about Business Security, having been contracted to provide security for Fortune 500 companies, celebrities, and international political figures with their K-9 Security & Detection business. They are immensely respected in the field and you'll only have to get through a few chapters to understand why. If you're sitting on the fence on this book, let this be the review that pushes you over. It's worth it.

A poor book by any standard!.......2005-09-16

This book is an utter waste of time. The authors apparently know very little about the subject, and to call the book amatuerish would be a compliment.
The kennels that are recommended in this book are a joke in the dog world, and to recommend them for security is just crazy!

Thank God I bought this book used, it really doesn't cover the subject at all.

Very informative, with info. about many different breeds........1999-08-29

This book was very informative, and had segments on other types of security dogs, such as personal, and property protection, and alarms dogs as well as business security dogs. Has a lot of info and picking the right dog and temperment testing. Recommend,

R.S. Eden's "Dog Training for Law Enforcement" is one of the best and most comprehensive books I've read on this subject. Makes me want to join the local P.D. just to train a dog. Mr. Eden's ability to translate his knowledge into easily readable and usable information is commendable. Even if you have no interest in training dogs yourself, its worth the read just to see how its done! Can we clone Mr. Eden and ship out a copy to every police department with a K-9 unit?

Book Description

This second edition of the “Encyclopedia of Drugs, Alcohol, and Addictive Behavior” reflects changes in the attitudes about, use, and knowledge of drugs and alcohol since the first edition published in 1995. These changes include the decrease of crack cocaine use and resurgence of heroin use; changes in laws dealing with drug use (on both the state and national levels), and new discoveries leading to a better understanding of how drugs work and what makes them addictive. More than 700 articles, written for both the student and layperson, cover the social, medical and political issues related to drugs and alcohol, as well exploring and explaining types of addiction.

Book Description

This volume is dedicated to professor Jacob Hoftijzer on the occasion of his sixty-fifth birthday as well as of his retirement from the chair of "Hebrew Language and Literature, the Israelite Antiquities and Ugaritic" at the University of Leiden. After a preface by A. van der Heide and a bibliographical list of Hoftijzer's publications, the volume contains 16 essays on syntactical questions in the field of Hebrew and Aramaic. Most of these essays deal with subjects occurring in Hoftijzer's publications. Such are the nominal sentence, the particle 'et', questions related to clause types as well as to word order and concord within sentences, the status and use of particles and verbal forms. Whereas Biblical Hebrew is discussed in most of the essays, other language forms are represented as well, esp. Mishnaic and Modern Hebrew, Imperial Aramaic, Middle Aramaic and Classical Syriac.
