Getting the alert down for cadaver does not seem particularly hard compared to, say, building the recall-refind for an offlead wilderenss dog. Many ways to skin a cat This approach is discuseed in the cadaver dog handbook.

Julie Wilson Webboard User Reg: 07-12-2007 Posts: 148 Loc: Washington State Offline	What cadaver dog handbook? We have a class in my area coming up on this. I am aware of the basic application but have not yet pursued this, it would be nice to see multiple angles.

But it sounds complicated enough (legally) that one probably shouldn't just wake up one day and decide 'hey I'm gonna certify in this!' Thanks!

We try to expose our dogs to, and let them work, the "real thing" whenever given the opportunity because there is no true way to mimic it. We definitely need more of those opportunities becase, as you know, access can (rightfully) be hard to get once a body is discovered.

I was just wondering since you talked about small amounts of source. I have a few lg things of source so I was wondering what you meant by small?
