Detection Dogs

Our Projects

Conservation Detection Dog services

We can provide conservation detection dog surveys for:

Dead Bat Carcasses

Dead Bird Carcasses

Water Vole Latrines

We currently are a small team of one dog and one handler with plans to expand in the future. Wren has over 90% average detection rate on all her odours combined.

Dogs are externally assessed for detection suitability and Natasha has been assessed by multiple detection companies for competence.

Open for University undergraduate, masters, and PhD research projects. We are happy to help with the ever-growing knowledge and research into wildlife detection dogs. Please get in contact if you feel we could assist in any research questions regarding conservation detection dogs.

Research

Bedbug Detection

We offer a two dog team for Bedbug Detection (NASDU) for private and pest control businesses to take advantage of our highly effective team of dogs with over 90% detection rate tested in double blind and scenario biased trials.

Passive methods such as Bedbug traps are less effective with only 20% detection success where as human inspection ranged between 50-80%. the use of dogs is a highly effective tool to use to screen large venues efficiently and aid human inspections.

If you are a pest control company in the South West interested in working alongside a dog team please contact us today.
