Rachel & Reid's routine surveillance trip to #Coquet to check for rat sign coincided with #TrinityHouse carrying out helicopter drops.The #Conservation #DetectionDog team were able to check cargo for suspicious signs & provide reassurance on top of checks already carried out by Trinity House & #RSPB
Interesting to approach Steep Holm from the west for a change, through Cardiff Bay Barrage & past Flat Holm. We were very lucky to have such a beautiful spring day for our #conservation #detectiondog search of the island. The only thing we found in the wax chew block surveillance boxes were snails!

I've been in Scottish Mountain Rescue for several years & am a Full Mountain Search and Rescue Dog Handler with my #workinglabrador Sgiath.
I am also a Conservation #detectiondog Handler, working with my other dog Uisge to become operational in this field.
Look forward to connecting!
Love this opening sentence:
“Nose work is a gift we give our dog, in a world in which it is often difficult to be a dog.”
That is how I feel about this sport / activity. They get rewarded for doing something that comes very naturally to them. ❤️
