In Western Australia, a new detector dog is being specially trained to sniff out cane toads to boost the state's fight against the invasive species.

Reggie, a springer spaniel, is just a few weeks away from detecting cane toads on the border of WA and the Northern Territory.

Corrin Everitt is from the WA Department of Parks and Wildlife.
