In Episode 33 of We Love Dogs, I’m joined by Natasha Underwood—ecologist, detection dog handler, and founder of NHU Ecology & Detection Dogs.
Natasha has an impressive background in environmental science, with a BSc in Biology/Conservation, an MSc in Environmental Consultancy, and a PhD focused on wetlands, biodiversity, and water quality. Alongside this, she is a certified detection dog handler, trained in conservation detection and scentwork instruction.
In this episode, Cheryl and Natasha explore the fascinating world of detection dogs and the vital role they play in conservation. Natasha shares how she built her business from the ground up, what her day-to-day work looks like, and the wide range of tasks her dogs are trained to detect—from wildlife and ecological targets to specialist scent work.
We also dive into her passion for reward-based, play-driven training, and hear all about her incredible dogs—River, Wren, Molly, and Addie—and the journey of training them to a professional level.
This episode is perfect for anyone interested in dogs, training, or the powerful impact dogs can have in the world of science and conservation.
