What can we sniff out for you?
Whether you are searching in the floodplains, fields, or forests, our dogs love to sniff out these semi-terrestrial river turtles.

Dropped Transmitters
Do you need that break away collar in hand to download points? Did a VHF transmitter malfunctioned or was lost? We can help.

Spotted Turtles
We love a good vernal pool. Not only can dogs locate turtles within these shallow wetlands, but they can alert you to hibernaculi, aestivation sites, and nests.

Bog Turtles
We are training on Bog Turtle scent this winter and will offer surveys in the spring of 2026

Blanding's Turtles
In collaboration with North Country Canine, we are training our dogs and a client's dog on this large turtle species. We will offer surveys for Blanding's Turtles starting in 2026.

Box turtles are fully terrestrial, but that doesn't make them easy to see. Dogs can locate these turtles under brush, in thick herbaceous vegetation, in their nightly forms, and even in hibernaculi.

Eastern Spadefoots
They're not technically a toad but they are New England's most endangered amphibian. Our dogs can help you pinpoint the locations of spadefoot burrows.

Gopher Tortoises
We're starting an exciting new collaboration in December 2025. More information to come.

Invasive plants
Starting in 2026, we'll be able locate specific invasive plants for removal or monitouring.

Don't see your target?
We're always looking for new scent to add to our training. From microchips to moose, we're happy to discuss whatever your project needs.
