Science Highlight: Detecting Small and Cryptic Animals By Combining Thermography and a Wildlife Detection Dog
What is some advice for someone hoping to jump into the industry?
Be realistic about your expectations
Don’t rely on this line of work to hold a steady income or to sustain you financially
How do you keep your dogs safe in the field?
Use snake avoidance training - teach the dog to avoid snakes by rewarding the behavior of them stepping away from the snake
