Summary
Details

Service dogs save lives, catch criminals, detect drugs, and search for contraband at airports. They rescue victims of earthquakes and avalanches and even join soldiers in combat. K9 - Dogs for Service explains how these exceptional dogs are selected, trained, and deployed in military, police, rescue, and customs operations.

Drawing from 40 years of experience, the author shares insights into:

- Selecting and evaluating future service dogs

- Training methods for different operational needs

- Building a strong bond between K9 and handler

- Managing stress and extreme conditions

- Practical techniques from real-world deployments
