Where are the bloodhounds?

A real bloodhound



A review of "Man-Trailing: How to Train Your Bloodhound" by Christiane Liebeck. 

Despite its title, this is not a book about training bloodhounds. Indeed, there are only two or three photos of bloodhounds in the entire book! It's incredibly boring, basic and written in somewhat strange English (the author is German). The advice given is sometimes so obvious that you wonder who the book is directed at: "Give the dog water", "Reward the dog", etc. I don't think anybody can become a good man-trailer by reading this work. Let alone train bloodhounds.
