#TrickOrTreat? Why not… BOTH! 🎃🥎 Our #ConservationDogs play fetch in reward for locating data on wildlife. What better way to ring in spooky season than with some @ruffwear toy bobbing? #HappyHalloween from our pack to yours 👻 🐕

So excited to be working on this project with @wildlandsnetwrk & @MojaveDesertLT. Our rescue dogs turned Conservation Dogs, Siska & Merlin are looking forward to getting paws on the ground & noses to the wind in search of genetic data on pumas & bobcats. 🦁🐕

Great Qs! Vaccines were expensive. Some of our dogs had reactions to them & research was showing variable results. Aversion training utilized shock collars & we do not use shock collars on our dogs. Instead, our Bounders learn ecology, take safety precautions such as...

🐝 We've been bee-sy! Our #ConservationDog Echo recently detected not 1, but 2 bumble bee nests! Every nest detected helps researchers learn more about where these pollinators live. We're so proud of our Bumblebee Dog’s noses, helping uncover some of nature's best-kept secrets.
