We had a fantastic week on Groote Eylandt training our two Cane toad detection dogs Rusty and Ozzie to help keep Cane Toads of the island. The maintenance training on the dogs and the handler training ensured all are ready and operational on the docks and airport.
We even managed to do some filming for an up and coming show for an English production house featuring Ozzie to be broadcasted next year in the UK then the rest of the world.
Rusty is the middle of an intensive training program learning the skills for detecting Cane Toads. Rusty is originally from Sydney and was selected by Gary as a suitable dog for this very important task.
Over the next four weeks Rusty will complete the cane toad detection training and then will accompany Gary Jackson to the beautiful Groote Eylandt in the NT in this important task of keeping the Eylandt cane toad free.
