Poaching stinks. Let's sniff it out.
We are leading the charge against wildlife trafficking, training dogs to detect snares, firearms, ivory, pangolin scales and illegal bush meat.
A short leash for invasive plant species
We train dogs to nose out specific plant species — a critical skill where disease or one invasive species can wreak havoc on the rest of the ecosystem.
About
We are an experienced, exciting and pioneering freelance consultancy that uses dogs to detect an assortment of scents in a variety of wildlife detection roles. Our professional and friendly service allows for a quicker, less invasive, more innovative way of wildlife searching for conservation, ecology and poaching prevention.
Our training methods are at the forefront of conservation detection dog work. We use positive reinforcement techniques backed by the latest scientific research to develop highly effective detection teams.
Detection dogs can cover large areas quickly, reducing survey time and costs significantly. Our methods are non-invasive and ethical, causing minimal disturbance to wildlife and their habitats.
From initial consultation through to deployment and reporting, we provide a complete wildlife detection solution. Our dogs are trained to detect a wide range of target species and materials.
We work closely with conservation organisations, universities, government agencies, and NGOs worldwide to deliver effective wildlife detection programmes tailored to each project's unique needs.

Testimonials
I had the pleasure to participate with my dog in February at my first conservation detection training with Louise Wilson of Conservation K9 consultancy organised by Stéphanie Michenaud. Louise is not only a great professional but also an exceptional person; her learning method is, as the same time, controlled, precise and respectful of people and dogs. Louise take individual personalities of both human and dogs into consideration. Her process of training enables the dyad to learn with high efficiency and also with great pleasure. I fully intend to continue the complete training with Louise in order to be able with my dog to join, if possible, a detection project. I had a great time and my dog too during this first training course and I am impatient to do more.
Louise and her team provided an outstanding wildlife detection service for our conservation project. Their professionalism and the accuracy of their detection dogs exceeded our expectations. Highly recommended for any conservation organisation.
The training programme delivered by Conservation K9 was comprehensive and tailored perfectly to our needs. Louise's expertise in detection dog training is unmatched, and her passion for wildlife conservation shines through in everything she does.
