We apologise for our lack of posts lately, our team have been busy wrapping up 2022's searches. We have been pretty busy and working all around the UK, our clever, super skilled detection dogs have been off detecting bat and bird carcass on windfarms and our Great Crested Newt team have been inundated with work, so much so that we have some exciting news to share! We have some new GCN dogs that we have been training. With this discipline the training takes time and patience. We have to specifically select dogs that are suitable to work carefully around these species as they will be in close contact with them. These dogs cannot interfere with the GCN and must give a passive indication. Our passionate and dedicated conservation team spent lots of time searching for the perfect dogs for the job. Working on their indication, introducing them to the GCN scent, working over other live animal distractors amongst other positive training techniques, these dogs will soon be following in the paw steps of Rocky and Arnie and we are very excited to introduce them to you all.
So let us firstly introduce Dora !
Here she is enjoying some downtime last week in the lovely North Wales Snow.
