Consultation and best use practices of detection dog method:

Each project is unique and we draw on our extensive experience and knowledge of the detection dog method to collaborate and design data collection that will provide your research with optimal data. We consult on how the method works with traditional survey methods, including mark-recapture, occupancy, and habitat models. We help our clients obtain maximum data that fits within budget, time, and other custom specifications.

Personalized planning and implementation of research objectives:

When the project planning begins, our team is ready to assist in order to ensure your goals are met.

Professional field surveys:

Our professional handlers have extensive field experience with many having undergraduate and advanced degrees in biology, ecology, and zoology. This means that when they are deployed into a habitat, they have the expertise (and the grit!) to assess geographic and ecological features key to the survey target and will stop at nothing to position the team for optimal effectiveness. They are paired with trained conservation detection dogs and provided for the duration of your study. We also provide everything necessary for sample and data collection.

Data collection:

We provide customized Open Data Kit forms, GPS tracklogs of surveyed routes, and reports of projects on request.
