Table of Contents
I was able to be trained at Ventosa Kennels by Tracy Bowling before he passed away. What is in this book is what Tracy taught in class and the field. Tracy Bowling taught from his love of canines and his experience. He wrote in this book what he has proven to work by years of training canines. This is a must have book for any canine handler.

I was a little apprehensive about buying this book because of the cost, but it is more than worth it! I love how it is very clearly laid out, so it is easy to read it straight through or go back to specific chapters for reference. I found the explanations to be deeper and more complete than other books I have purchased in the past, and it has been wonderful to take the lessons from this book and apply them to my current training.
This book is a MUST HAVE for anyone interested in seriously working dogs. It provides very clear guidance and explanations on the mechanics of training, and the chapter on record keeping is very thorough and an excellent tool for anyone working dogs in any discipline, whether it be tracking, air scent or detection work.
I have been waiting for a book like this for a long time, and I strongly recommend it to anyone looking to train their dog and document their work on a serious level.
