Sold Out Human Remains Buried Targets Workshop

Human Remains Detection Workshop – Buried Targets
Somerset, Texas

This workshop is built directly from the methods and principles outlined in The Detection of Buried Targets by Caninesand is designed for handlers who want to develop reliable, operationally relevant buried target detection.

The focus is on building detection capability from the ground up using structured, progressive training. This is not about running dogs over hides — it is about understanding odor movement in soil, developing clear search behaviors, and creating canines that can confidently locate buried targets in real environments.

Key areas covered:

• Development of buried target odor pictures
• Understanding soil, depth, and odor movement
• Building systematic search strategies
• Training for low odor thresholds
• Eliminating handler influence and improving independence
• Progression from simple to complex burial scenarios
• Line-ups, problem solving, and proofing

Handlers will work their own dogs through practical training scenarios with direct instruction and feedback. The emphasis is on clarity of training, repeatability, and building behaviors that transfer to operational work.

This workshop is suitable for:

• HRD handlers at all levels
• Law enforcement and SAR teams
• Trainers looking to improve buried target methodologies

Location: Somerset, Texas
Format: Practical, hands-on training
Spaces: Limited to ensure quality instruction

If you are serious about developing buried target capability and want a structured, proven approach, this workshop will give you the tools to do it.
