We're excited to be founding members of the new working group Conservation Dog Alliance! We have been working for over a year to put together a growing resource library, networking opportunities, and continuing education. There is SO much to learn in this field, and we truly believe the best way to elevate the conservation dog method is by sharing what we've learned.

Alongside our friends at , Chiron K9, Conservation Dogs Collective, Conservation Dogs of Hawaii, Science Dogs of New England, Detection for Good, New York-New Jersey Trail Conference, Momentum K9, and K9 Conservationists, we'd like to welcome you to a free informational webinar on Friday, July 19 at 9am Hawaii Time (12pm PDT, 3pm EDT).

We are so honored to be entrusted to assist National Park Service with their endeavors to preserve and protect California's only native freshwater turtle species, the western pond turtle (Actinemys marmorata).

Special thanks to our wonderful group of volunteer dog teams for their dedication and perseverance through warm weather, poison oak, and thousands of ticks to search for the precious nests of this endangered turtle in an effort to protect them. Ashley, Elizabeth, Jennie and Katie are all rockstars!!

Thanks to park biologists and partners, visitors again have turtle-spotting opportunities in popular parts of Golden Gate National Recreation Area where they had vanished. But the turtles still need help growing their numbers.

Western pond turtles (WPT) are a species close to my heart. My George was the first dog ever to be trained to detect their nests for conservation purposes. He continued to work with NPS to help save this species in both Yosemite and Golden Gate Parks. His legacy carries on with me as we continue to work with this threatened California native.

If you feel inclined, The Wildlife Society is selling WPT shirts to help raise funds for the San Francisco Zoo's head start program. It's a very worthy cause and a great program.

Me and my girls, SCENTdogs Circe and Muon.
Did you know that parts of Arizona are green? We slogged through mud and damp vegetation on the hunt for a rare orchid last week in southern Arizona. We worked alongside the crews from Desert Botanical Garden and Smithsonian to increase detection probability by deploying our specially trained botany dogs. Thank you Eirini Pajak for the gorgeous photos.

Hello FB friends, we are in need of some K9NW training or trial video for an upcoming webinar for scentwork.org where a false alert may have been cued by the handler reaching for a reward while the dog was still working. Bonus points if you got a "no" and mistakenly rewarded the dog anyway! We promise to use it for teaching and only for good. All credit where credit is due of course. Videos can be sent through messenger or email [email protected].
