Each dog is given the "cadaver" command by its handler and walked through the lineup. The dog is then asked to choose and indicate to the handler which gauze contains post-mortem scent.

When the dog can successfully alert on the cadaver scent when it is housed in different containers, he is ready to move to field problems. This means taking a number of these containers and utilizing them in the woods.
