The recently upgraded Laureldale Dog Research and Training Facility provides the opportunity for controlled studies in canine behaviour, training and nutrition. Research is non-invasive, using privately-owned dogs. Some of the current research focuses on scent detector dogs utilised for quarantine and wildlife conservation.
