About the Book

As a drug detector dog handler with HM Customs & Excise, Pam Mackinnon searched all over the UK, from oil rigs to cruise ships, postal depots to airports, and vehicles to houses. Combining her detection skills with her work as a dog training and behaviour consultant, Pam developed the UK's most successful scentwork training programme that teaches all dogs to become detector dogs. With almost 30 years’ experience, you and your dog are in safe hands as Pam takes you through each stage of scentwork, beginning with introducing your dog to a specific scent, through starter searches, and on to advanced work, indoors and out. Aided by illustrations and full colour photographs of many different breeds at work, this manual will open up a whole new world of activities that you and your dog can enjoy together.

Pam Mackinnon has been a professional dog trainer for almost 30 years.

Helping pet dogs learn about scentwork is endlessly interesting and rewarding for trainer, dog and owner. Positively addictive!

Review :
Aided by illustrations and full color photographs of many different breeds at work, "Detector Dog" is throughly 'user friendly' step-by-step instruction manual that will open up a whole new world of activities readers and their own canine companions can enjoy together. Impressively informative and profusely illustrated, "Detector Dog" is very highly recommended for personal, professional, community, and academic library Pets/Wildlife collections in general, and Dog Training supplemental studies reading lists in particular.- Midwest Book Review; For busy dogs with busy owners this is a great positive technique to improve your skills as a dog wonder and build a greater bond with your dog whilst all the time having fun. Thank you Pam for writing such a useful and fact filled book that I will happily pass onto my clients from now on. - Association of Pet Behaviour Counsellors; Detector Dogs is not just for adults. Its reading level may be 12+, but any mature child or adolescent dog owner will respond enthusiastically to such a novel challenge. The dog's repose is on of uninhibited joy! Y Detector Dog is the journey of a lifetime though the nose of your dog. - Geelong Obedience Dog Club. If you wish to learn about the introduction to scent work, "Detector Dog" is a great book ... crammed with great information. In this book you will learn a little about how scent works, with a few nice diagrams and full-colour illustrations and photographs to show you how scent travels, important information to know. Pam walks you through handling searches with your dog. She clearly explained some handling techniques and how to develop search patterns, so you are not missing anything. She also explains different patterns and includes a very helpful troubleshooting section. If you are looking to learn about scent detection/nosework, I highly recommend this book. - Association of Professional Dog Trainers.
