Although training of a search dog takes the support and logistics of a strong group, there is much knowledge to be gleaned from the pages of books written by other dog trainers, SAR or otherwise.
Included here are books and reference materials found useful to other trainers in both the beginning and later stages of training. DOGS-East members can check the availability of these books in the DOGS-East library.
