Training
Our structured Human Remains Detection dog handler training programmes combine theoretical education with progressive practical development. Training is designed to build reliable search behaviour, handler knowledge, operational awareness and professional working practices while keeping dog welfare central throughout the development process.
Programmes cover relevant HRD search environments including land, buildings and water, with training adapted to the experience and development needs of individual dog and handler teams.
Training is suitable for handlers beginning their HRD development as well as teams seeking structured progression and continuing professional development.
Workshops
Our specialist workshops provide focused, practical development for Human Remains Detection dog and handler teams. Sessions are designed around specific skills, search environments and training objectives, allowing handlers to work in greater depth on areas that may not be covered within a standard training programme.
Workshops may include scent recognition and discrimination, land and building searches, buried source work, shoreline and boat-based water search, search strategy, handler development and other specialist HRD topics.
Workshops can be delivered as scheduled events or developed for organisations, teams and groups with specific training requirements.
