Book excerpt: A story about a Dutch-born puppy and her journey to become a member of the greatest fighting force in the world ...Learn about adversity, dedication, gratitude, love, and sacrifice through the eyes of a Special Operations Forces K-9. The story is about a dog named Patty, who talks about her Dutch upbringing and how she "tried out" for the most elite military unit in the world and made it! She explains her specialized training and how she was injured in the war, her recovery and her retirement. She also talks about biting bad guys....YES! She wants everyone to know that she is doing her job and maybe a bite is not as bad as a bullet? She also talks about sacrifice, gratitude, and death. Special Operations Forces (SOF) multi-purpose canines (MPC) are not traditional military working dogs (MWD). Unlike traditional MWDs that have been around since the First World War, SOF MPCs have only been around since 1998 and not publicly known about until around 2005. What makes these dogs so special is the amount of time and training that goes into each dog, usually years before they actually deploy. They are not gate guards, narcotic detectors or single purpose dogs with a few months of training. They are typically patrol and explosive detection dogs that can work off-leash, and make "decisions" without a handler instructing their every move. There is much more to it than that, but this IS a kid's book! The dogs are loved and are valuable assets to the unit and men. They are never sacrificed and every attempt is made to accomplish the mission without harming the dogs. When a dog is MIA or KIA, not only his handler feels the loss but the entire community. The intent of "How I Became a K9 Commando" is to share our love for these dogs and show some of the remarkable things they can do. Also, if we can educate the public a bit, teach children about sacrifice and gratitude and hopefully raise some funds to continue our goal of honoring SOF handlers and their dogs, then we have succeeded!

Book excerpt: "Until you, hoomans, learn to sniff each other's butts, so you read each other's thoughts, you'll need us, dogs, to guide you, love you, and make you better people." Corporal K-9 Guinness. If you thought being a K-9 is easy, think again. What's the hardest, you ask? Sniffing bombs? No sir. That's easy once you know what to look for. Apprehending perpetrators? Nope. That's fun. The hardest part of being a K-9 is training people. Humans don't know how to communicate. It's not their fault that they have blunt teeth and no tail. As for their nose, they can't tell goose guano from duck poop, let alone read each other's thoughts. That's why they need dogs to guide them, look after them, and set them right. Becoming K-9 is the story of how I grew from a feisty pup into a fierce K-9. How I looked after my humans, helped them focus on the half-full bowl of kibble, and taught them unconditional love. Because, whether you're young or old, rich or poor, dog or human, there's nothing more potent than love. Not even death. Love is the only thing we take with us when we die.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The best positive obedience training program for your pets or working dog. Use proven techniques to: - Train your puppy with basic exercises to prepare for future obedience training. - Correct common problem behaviors, such as barking, bolting, and chewing. - Progress from basic to advanced exercises to ensure your dog is always learning. Obedience is the foundation of any reliable, well-trained dog. Without obedience, working dogs are ineffective in operations and pet dogs can be annoying and possibly a danger to themselves or others. In K9 Obedience Training, certified animal behavior consultant and veteran search and rescue (SAR) dog handler and trainer Susan Bulanda shares the secrets of building an effective obedience training program. SAR dogs need “thinking” obedience: they sometimes need to exercise intelligent disobedience in the field. You can use the same training program for any working or pet dog. For trainers who demand the best obedience training for future working dogs, Susan’s techniques lay the groundwork for success. And pet owners who want to help their dog be easy to be around will find lots of training tips and exercises too, along with straightforward advice on proper handling, grooming, and teaching simple tricks.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Structure: the foundation for health and function What sets apart the average dog enthusiast from the expert? Often it’s an in-depth knowledge of the anatomy of the dog and a solid understanding of terminology used in the world of dogs. Do you know what a judge is talking about when he mentions “stifle let-down,” “shallow brisket,” or “excessive angulation?” K-9 Structure and Terminology defines and illustrates these and hundreds of other terms in easy to understand language so you can train your mind and eye to evaluate dogs. All dogs need sound structure for health, show, work, or sport, and, by learning to see beneath the skin the reader will be more able to work with, understand, and appreciate canis familiaris. Gain a better understanding of: • Breed Standards including breed variations. • How the original purpose of the breed is expressed in the structure of the dog. • Terminology used in veterinary care and dog sports, especially Conformation. • How to identify what is right and sound in any dog you encounter. Bonus! A 31-page glossary of words including common and less common terms. What experts are saying about K-9 Structure and Terminology: "If you wish to significantly improve your knowledge of canine conformation, K-9 Structure and Terminology provides a…comprehensive description of the details…of canine variation. And it does so with a clear focus on the importance of establishing a common terminology that can be understood and applied." James W. Edwards, Ph.D., Professor of Biology, Emeritus, Salem College; AKC, Director, Judging Research and Development "All of us in the dog world should strive for perfection…We need to train our eyes and our hands to recognize the strengths in a dog’s structure and movement. This book is an excellent guide in our unending quest of applicable knowledge." Pat Hastings, author of Tricks of the Trade. From Best Intentions to Best in Show, AKC Judge and noted lecturer Edward M. Gilbert is a multiple breed and group AKC judge, lecturer, and writer. His engineering and technical writing background makes him especially well-suited to the task of explaining canine structure and terminology. He lives in California with his wife Pat and their retired Champion Afghans and Salukis. Thelma Brown, AKC Emeritus judge, worked side by side with her husband Curtis Brown breeding and showing dogs beginning in 1937. She is retired and living in California.

Book excerpt: In Citizen K-9, bestselling author David Rosenfelt masterfully blends mystery with dogs and humor to create an investigative team that readers will be rooting for book after book. The Paterson Police Department has created a cold case division, and they want to hire the private investigators known as the K Team to look into the crimes. After all, Corey Douglas and his K-9 partner, German shepherd Simon Garfunkel, recently retired from the force. Plus, another K Team member, Laurie Collins, used to be a cop as well. Their first cold case hits home for the K Team. A decade ago, at Laurie's tenth high school reunion, two of their friends simply... vanished. At the time Laurie had just left the force, and Corey was in a different department, so they had no choice but to watch from the sidelines. With no leads, the case went cold. As the team starts to delve deeper into the events leading up to that night—reopening old wounds along the way—the pieces start to come together. But someone wants to stop them from uncovering the truth behind the disappearance, by any means necessary.
