About the book

The extraordinary sensory skills of dogs are often indispensable, but especially in search and rescue missions. In man-trailing, the dog’s sense of smell can be trained to find and follow vital human trails. With the aid of an object that is clearly scented with a missing person’s smell, the tracking dog can identify the correct trail among numerous human and environmental scents.

Filled with the latest research and practice, this is a comprehensive manual on tracking and a fascinating insight into the dog’s unique sensory skills.

•Explains all aspects of man-trailing: Which dogs are qualified, how the dog’s sensory skills work, practical equipment, man-trailing training and practice

•Gives useful advice on what the dog’s behaviour tells you
