Ummm, exactly what do you have the dog find in CADAVER training?

Helen in KY, who can guess meat, but still has a very vivid visual in her
head.

LOL...since you asked...

We use everything from scented clothing to actual body parts, as well as
hair, blood, bone, etc. Training for cadaver recovery is really very
intense, reason being is that you have no idea what condition the person may
be in or what happened to them. In some cases, all we had to find was bone
fragments or blood remnants.

All the best,
Sheila
