Rachel Charles (King & Co Detection)
Bird (Carcasses)
Bat (Carcasses)
After working for others in the industry, I founded my own small business in early 2023. I train and handle detection dogs under King & Co Detection across conservation and industry fields. I am currently working on wind farms in NSW, with plans to expand to endangered species and invasive weed detection soon.
I hold degrees in Animal Bioscience, Conservation Biology, Canine Communication and Behaviour. I am always studying a new course or webinar, with particular interests in animal cognition.
Welfare and safety are top priorities for me and are at the forefront of every survey we conduct.
