Tracking for Search and Rescue Dogs: A Practical Manual for Novice and Advanced Handlers

Linda M. McClure is an administrator in Edmonton, Alberta.

This book will prove invaluable to anyone interested in training dogs
for search and rescue, or just wanting a glimpse into the world of
tracking training. The author covers topics ranging from how to choose a
puppy, to advanced methods of search-and-rescue tracking, to advantages
and disadvantages of different training methods in light of the
requirements of search and rescue. Gorny’s explanations are clear and
understandable, displaying a good balance between the theoretical and
the practical. The layout of the book is logical, and diagrams and
black-and-white photographs helpfully depict the techniques described in
the text. Colour photographs would have enhanced the book’s appeal,
but its most notable drawback is the lack of an index.
