Detection Dog Team Recognition

Share This Article

WEST thanks our 2021 Detection Dog teams, including those in Minnesota, California, and Maryland for another successful field season. You braved mud, steep terrain, and soy fields and we couldn’t be more impressed with your enthusiastic determination to get the job done! We look forward to getting back in the field soon.

Intrigued? If you have a high-drive, high-energy dog and an interest in collecting data in a scientific way to inform wildlife conservation, you might be a good fit for our Detection Dog Program. WEST is hiring detection dog handler teams for the 2022 season. We have short- and long-term projects coming up. Check out our careers page for more information.
