What’s Included In The Cadaver Detection Trainer Certification Course

Students will learn handling techniques, scent theory, search methods, basic/advanced obedience, proofing, alerting and how to conduct searches across varied land terrain and water.  We teach the knowledge and skills necessary for a dog to complete a search, emergency first aid, professional etiquette, and other skills. By exploring real-life situations, students will learn how to work with the cadaver dog and use the canine’s keen senses to resolve human remains investigations.

The online learning module permits students to save money on tuition, travel, lodging. This self-paced course explores the advanced skills needed to train effective HRD teams. It includes the same information contained within our on-site trainer course.

***Students in our courses (especially the online versions) should be able to think, problem-solve, and strategize. Our courses are collegiate-level, not spoon-fed. If you’re not up to this level (physically and mentally), think twice before applying.***
