Dog Health Questions: Any recoomenationds on HRD dog training aids?

I have a 18 months old dog that I am training for HRD. I am working with SEVERAL instructors who have said she has AMAZING drive and will make a fine dog with more training. My only problem is that my closests intructor lives an hour away, so i have no regular access to training aids.. and as we all know consistency is everything! We had scheduled a trip to visit the "body farm" in knoxville TN but a recent abuse of privaleges (by some one else) has caused them to pull all support. Are there any good places to obtain training aids? I have heard of sythetic aids, i think its called SIGMA? is it worth it or should i hold out for something better? I really want to be able to work with her DAILY instead of once every few weeks when i can gain access to training aids. Any info would be greatly appreciated!

Recommended Answer:
As well as your local med examiner, contact some of the training clubs to see if they have connections in your region:

I see 4 or 5 KY resources here:

Here are three helpful books:

They used to use fetal pigs, harvested from the nearest hog farmer. Now, they claim that the pigs lead to a confused training. That is likely true. But, it has worked for many years, as that was what was available..
I'm hoping that those books will give you some good ideas.
