“Making It” as a Conservation Detection Dog Handler

In this episode of K9 Conservationists, Kayla talks about her experience and advice on how to “make it” as a K9 Conservationists handler.

Let’s be honest: the past year or so of this career has NOT been easy. In this episode, Kayla goes into some of the realities of tough fieldwork, low pay, finding (and losing) jobs, and the social difficulties of maintaining a community while loving this field so much.
