Field services
A detection dog is not a stand-alone instrument. Strong results come from pairing the right dog-handler team with careful target development, field design, validation, data collection, and honest interpretation.
Integrated services
Services can stand alone or be combined into a complete detection program for agencies, consultants, researchers, landowners, and biosecurity teams.
Ethical, documented development from odor acquisition through operational proofing.
Scientific support for where, when, and how to search—and what can reasonably be concluded from the result.
Training and operational searches are tailored to increase detection probability and find the target odor.
Independent ecological and canine-detection review for planned or existing survey programs.
Applications
“Partner sought” identifies promising applications, not completed operational capabilities. New targets begin with a feasibility conversation and appropriately permitted pilot work.
ʻAkēʻakē and ʻUaʻu (Hawaiian petrel) nest-site searches for endangered seabirds across remote, fractured, high-elevation lava.
Larval odor detection and rapid-response surveys in green waste, yards, and suspected breeding habitat.
Research-tested canine carcass detection for early surveillance and mitigation in dense wetland vegetation.
Biosecurity surveillance across Johnston Atoll after a major invasive-ant eradication effort.
Odor-recognition trials for Rapid ʻŌhiʻa Death and potential future plant-disease applications.
Development opportunities for Hawaiian hoary bat detection questions, remains, roosts, or research samples.
A candidate application for nest-location and monitoring questions where reliable odor sources and permits align.
Exploratory K9 applications for cryptic ground-nest detection and habitat-management needs.
Non-wildlife detection applications where canine olfaction could narrow costly searches.
