In Nevada, the state's wildlife department has a unique approach to managing black bears that wander into neighborhoods. Trained dogs are used to help keep these bears wild. The Nevada Department of Wildlife may deploy these dogs when a black bear becomes too comfortable near homes.

The dogs are named Badger and Banjo. Further details about this program are available from the Nevada Department of Wildlife, as reported by KTXS, providing more information on how these trained dogs assist in managing black bears in Nevada.
