Canine Insight. Cultural Respect. Informed Decisions.
Based in western Colorado, we support projects across the Rocky Mountain region, the Great Plains, and Alaska.
Work is conducted in collaboration with Tribes, agencies, and project partners to support culturally respectful planning and risk avoidance in diverse environmental and regulatory contexts.
We provide non-invasive cultural preservation support using specially trained detection canines to identify areas that may hold unmarked ancestral human remains associated with historic or prehistoric contexts. Our services are intended to supply additional information that supports early planning, consultation, and avoidance without ground disturbance or excavation.
Surveys are conducted by trained canine teams using structured, repeatable methods designed for discretion and documentation. Dogs are trained and double-blind tested, achieving over 85% accuracy depending on odor presentation and environmental conditions. We prefer to deploy two canines per project to ensure continuity and verification when conditions allow.
We work in support of Tribal organizations, governments, communities, cultural resource management professionals, public agencies, land managers, cemetery associations, and private landowners. Engagements are tailored to respect cultural sovereignty, confidentiality, and community values, particularly in areas where sensitivity, avoidance, and discretion are priorities.
