Ecology Detection Dogs

Geckoella is proud to sponsor the UK Detection Dog Working Group.

CIEEM SW Section convened a workshop in December 2018, that looked at how best to get detection dogs more widely used in UK ecology. Following this, The Ecology Detection Dogs in Britain and Ireland Working Group was formed. The working group aims to share knowledge and raise awareness and acceptance of the use of dogs in ecology and conservation, promote development of research-based standards, create a culture of responsible dog use and, develop an accreditation process for dogs and trainers. Geckoella is pleased to support these initiatives, as part of their ongoing commitment to innovation and best practice.

To find out about this group and other initiatives, join discussions, share links and experiences, access scientific and ‘grey literature’ relating to the subject, and help collaboration please visit the website, Facebook group  and the Zotero Group.
