Reviews for K9 Behavior Basics: A Manual for Proven Success in Operational Service Dog Training

It is like a textbook you would have for a “Police Dog Training 101” college course. I would recommend it to all serious police K9 trainers and handlers as a basic reference.... this book summarizes the information pertinent to police K9 training all in one reference book. - Deborah Palman, United States Police Canine Association
