At Luna Hounds, we believe a dog's nose is one of the most powerful conservation and biosecurity tools on Earth.

Our highly trained Detection Canines are capable of locating targets that are invisible to the human eye, using their extraordinary sense of smell to detect specific pests, invasive species, biological material, and other target odours with remarkable speed and accuracy.

Unlike traditional inspection methods, detection dogs can search large areas, vehicles, equipment, cargo, orchards, and agricultural products in a fraction of the time while maintaining exceptional detection reliability. Their ability to work quickly, non-invasively, and efficiently makes them an invaluable asset for both conservation and agricultural industries.

Our programmes are built on scientifically based training methods that focus on precision, consistency, and measurable performance. Every canine is carefully selected, trained, and continually evaluated to ensure the highest operational standards.

Luna Hounds is proud to be pioneering specialised agricultural and environmental detection programmes in Southern Africa, including work with Macadamia Felted Coccid (MFC), False Codling Moth (FCM), and the development of new detection capabilities for emerging biosecurity threats.

Whether protecting crops, supporting biosecurity initiatives, assisting research organisations, or safeguarding natural ecosystems, our Detection Canines provide a fast, accurate, and cost-effective solution where early detection can make all the difference.

When every second counts, trust the nose that nature perfected.
