Show Notes
Cadaver dogs are often thought of as simply having an exceptional nose—but the truth is far more complex.
In this episode, Dr. Lisa Briggs breaks down what truly goes into cadaver detection, from the science behind human scent to the intensive training required for both dogs and their handlers. She explains how scent changes depending on environment, time, and conditions, and why locating human remains in water, fire scenes, or open terrain requires specialized knowledge, experience, and precision.
The conversation also addresses a critical issue in the field: why properly trained and certified teams matter. Well-intentioned but untrained efforts can lead to false alerts, wasted resources, and compromised searches—making professional standards essential in work where accuracy is everything.
This is an inside look at the discipline, science, and responsibility behind cadaver dogs—and why they are much more than a good nose.
