Some studies suggest that in certain circumstances, one security dog teamed with a trained security guard who is also a dog handler is just as effective as three individual security guards.
On many occasions, we have deployed our highly trained and experienced teams of security guard dogs, and dog handlers as either the most effective solution to a particular security concern, or in some cases, the least expensive option for our clients.
In any initial security audit, we will always work with our clients to produce a strategic security solution that works best for the circumstances. If providing canine security is the optimum solution, we have the resources, the personnel, and the highly-trained security dogs to carry out the task at hand.

Benefits of Guard Dogs in Security Services
Superior Sensory Capabilities:
A security dog has highly developed senses. With a sense of smell thought to be up to 10,000 times as powerful as that of a human, far superior night and mobility vision capabilities, and hearing that is estimated to be 4 times more sensitive than ours, a dog is superbly equipped for guarding duties.
Visual and Audible Deterrent:
The fact that a dog presents a possible physical threat to a potential intruder, plus the fact that a dog will give off a very loud audible warning in the form of barking, is a highly effective deterrent to prevent criminals from even attempting to gain access to land or premises where a guard dog is present.
Situations Suited for Use of Guard Dogs
Detection:
We use guard dogs with specialist training as detector dogs. This may be to detect the presence of drugs, explosives, or any other form of security threat depending on the situation
Night time Security:
Our security dogs with their enhanced senses are particularly useful at night. Unusual noises or movements are detected quickly and the security guard alerted. Our security dogs are intelligent and reliable enough to evaluate situations and proceed to the warning stage almost immediately
Patrolling in crowded or high-crime areas:
In crowded situations that might prove to be inflammatory with the potential to escalate, the added calming influence of a security dog is often an important control factor
Large sites:
Where the full perimeter needs to be covered and a security dog is the most efficient way to do it. A dog can cover a lot of ground in a short time and with its enhanced senses, is able to detect potential intruders from a distance and respond quickly
Private Estates:
Our dog patrols guard private property against, unwanted attention from potential intruders. They provide a very effective visual and audible deterrent to anyone considering entry. The likelihood is that a criminal will move on and seek an easier target.
