Our Projects
Ecological Detection Dog services
We can provide ecological detection dog surveys for:
Bat Carcasses
Bird Carcasses
Water Vole Latrines
​
We currently are a team of three dogs and one handler.. Wren and Molly have over 90% average detection rate on all there trained odours. Addie to be tested in 2026.
​
Dogs are externally assessed for detection suitability on each odour and handler has been assessed by multiple detection companies for competency.
​
​
University Research
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. Dogs are previously participated in PhD research on truffles (Tuber spp.) and in studies focused on the detection of water voles (Arvicola amphibius).
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.

I have recently completed my PhD working with Wessex Water, RSPB, and Natural England to investigate into habitat improvement works, focusing on the creation of wetland features within the Moorlinch National Nature Reserve and SSSI, including restoration of an inlet wetland, ditch realignment work and construction of scrapes and shallow pools, to create a better habitat quality. Researching on the colonisation of the newly created wetland habitats and their effectiveness for water quality improvement, specifically phosphorus reduction and biogeochemistry, therefore better informing our understanding of improving ecological diversity and resilience. Exploring concepts of paludiculture, gaseous exchange on peatlands, and contamination removal.
