"The working success of a police dog depends to a large extent on the handler being an expert at his craft in general, and being so well acquainted with the individual temperament of his dog in particular that he is able to give a correct interpretation to the meaning of its every reaction." (Thamesford Constabulary's Manual of Police Dog Handling)
