The Dog-driven Search: Handling Our Nose Work Dogs to Promote Independence, Joy and Enthusiasm by Sue Sternberg, Dana Zinn

challenging informative inspiring fast-paced

5.0

 First book this year I really LOVED and it is so targeted to its audience that most of y'all will probably not get anything out of it.

The book presumes that your dog is already on target odor (and that you, the handler, know what “target odor” means). I’m not marking it off for that because it’s true for me and this is really a book for scent sport trainers and handlers and it in no way pretends to be an introductory book to the topic.

tl;dr: It’s lovely. Very well organized, laid out, funny photo captions, some excellent exercises, and all based on the thesis that we should get the fuck out of our dogs’ way when they’re searching. Which is true!
