Wild dogs and foxes prey on a variety of animals including mammals, birds and reptiles of all sizes from insects to water buffalo.

However, they prefer to eat small and medium-sized mammals when available. They may also attack and kill livestock for “sport”, causing distressing stock losses.

Wild dogs have been implicated in the decline of several species, both historically and in the recent past.

Feral and wild dogs are constantly evolving and adapting to suit their environments. With more wild dogs appearing in peri urban environments management of such animals can prove to be complex for multiple factors. Images of dogs managing to break through the barrier of exclusion fencing provides evidence that management requires a multi approach for effective management.

We approach the management of dogs and foxes with multiple methods. Those being ground shooting and trapping. Both methods are proven and are adaptable to multiple landscapes and environments. Shooting with specialist equipment such as thermal paired with camera surveillance gives further assistance in the effective management of pest animals.
