K9 Line-Up Training by Ruud Haak
Enhance your K9’s detection capabilities and unlock the power of its nose with scent and odour line-up training. The use of detector dogs to find or identify scents or odours has a long history, and has risen dramatically in recent decades in all different areas of detection, including drugs, explosives, missing persons, and more. But even with this increase, there remains a lack of information about the different ways to train dogs in scent identification and detection, and even less about the many ways that training can go wrong. K9 training experts Resi Gerritsen, Ruud Haak, and Simon Prins wrote this book so all trainers have access to the knowledge they need to train capable detector dogs. This book introduces both professional and amateur dog handlers to the basics of scent and odour line-up training and their applications in K9 scent identification and detection work. From training schedules to the fascinating history of nose work in policing, this book is designed to be a practical, accessible, and informative resource for K9 officers, professional or volunteer search-and-rescue workers, competitive dog trainers, and enthusiastic hobbyists alike.
Dr. Resi Gerritsen and Ruud Haak are world-renowned specialists in the field of dog work and the authors of more than 30 titles on dog training. They train search and rescue dogs for the International Red Cross and the United Nations (Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs), and they have trained drug and explosive detector dogs for the Dutch police and the Royal Netherlands Air Force. Gerritsen and Haak also act as international judges for the International Rescue Dog Organization.
