Chapter 2: Tools of the Trade

"Those of you that have not ordered it yet, I suggest that you do so. This is a damned fine book. Rob, this came out very good. It is comprehensive and enjoyable to read."
Del Morris – Director, International Society of Professional Trackers

"Your book gives a very complete coverage of the subject, is well organized and easy to read. Not only do you thoroughly cover the subject of tracking, but it is presented in a way that emphasizes the overall goal of the search. That quote from Greg concerning the Best Resource was great. I think the book presents a lot of relevant information – that will promote enthusiasm to learn and do the work. It will foster the proper mindset to succeed. You did a great job of raising awareness of the many variables that need to be addressed in training. Your repeated emphasis on dirt-time (to me its leash time) is probably the most important point to get across. Again, a great effort and valuable reading to anyone involved in search and rescue. I will suggest your book as important reading for bloodhound handlers in my classes."
Jim Shaffer, K9 Handler
