Get Started

Learn how to train cadaver dogs from start to finish in numerous search scenarios. Human Remains Detection is a much-needed yet underappreciated skill. This course is an in-depth look into the professional aspects of HRD work. It begins in basic concepts and proceeds to advanced searching skills. It includes the good, the bad, and the ugly. Cadaver teams face alot of stresses that other types of teams do not. Our aim is to raise the level of effectiveness and professionalism in the team.

The course makes an education available to those who otherwise could not travel to a school or group for training.

This course can be studied as a stand-alone course or as part of our Master Trainer course. Much of the awesome content within this course can be applied to Search and Rescue (SAR) live-find work as well.
