Security Dog Units and Dog Patrols
As professional providers of security dogs (AKA K9), highly trained security guards and a comprehensive range of property security services, we can ensure that your site or premises is protected as thoroughly as possible.
K9 security services deliver the ultimate in site security when vulnerability is not an option.
Security dogs add a new dimension to your security practices, offering a much more visible element to your security detail.
Security dogs effectively complement the skills of security officers, naturally offering higher levels of threat detection and, therefore, faster response.
Why Use Guard Dogs?
Having a highly trained security dog is an efficient and cost-effective way of providing enhanced security solutions in a range of different scenarios. Security guards and their dogs, typically referred to as dog units, can be employed for a one-off event or for a longer-term solution, and are experienced in working with both large and small businesses.
Our dog handlers can be equipped with body cams to provide live streams of events happening in real-time. This means that we are able to offer 24/7 monitoring of our sites meaning you’ll have the peace of mind that your event or property is rigorously protected at all times.
Key Advantages To Hiring Security Dog Patrols
One of the key advantages to hiring a security guard and dog is that dogs have enhanced natural abilities that are ideally suited to the needs of security deployment. Dogs have superior hearing and can easily detect sounds before humans can. They will typically hear sounds four times the distance than humans can and are able to hear sounds far higher in frequency than humans, enabling them to quickly alert guards to any issues they may not already be aware of.
Specially trained dogs can easily detect explosives or illegal drugs due to their heightened sense of smell, which is approximately 40 times more sensitive than humans. Speed of pursuit is another bonus, with fit dogs able to sprint at 15-20mph, easily running-down someone attempting to escape.
The cost of a single security guard with a dog is lower than the cost of two security guards, as well as being a more effective deterrent. A security guard with a supporting guard dog is seen as a more intimidating prospect to potential intruders than a sole security guard.
Mobile Patrol Dogs
We can provide marked vehicles to regularly patrol your site perimeter. Our dog units can check the exterior perimeter of a property and openings like doors and windows, but they can include a check of the interior. Mobile units can respond very quickly to anticipated risk, with vehicles available to react fast when time is of the essence. Dogs can pick up on additional threats that cannot be detected by human senses, increasing the effectiveness of the patrol.
Every dog unit is trained and able to manage alarm responses, keyholding services, and property lock and unlock services, making them as versatile and flexible as they are effective.
Canine / Manned Security Guarding
Specialist security dogs possess a range of abilities and training that allow them to reliably detect drugs, firearms and explosives should they be in the area.
A dog unit used for search and detection is an ideal way to prevent the transfer of unwanted substances to a site or between locations. A canine’s outstanding senses can be used to quickly identify threats in a far more advanced way than manual screening can provide. Detection dogs can scan large areas, remain on the move to detect any moving areas of risk, or can be positioned statically to screen every visitor passing a point of entry.

Events And Crowd Control Dog Units
At large-scale gatherings, public events, or open access sites, security dogs can provide the public or staff with instant, visual assurance that any disturbances or unwanted behaviour will be rapidly identified, prevented, and responded to.
Our dog units are trained to deal with threats from large groups of people. The inclusion of a security dog ensures that security guards are less at risk when dealing with security incidents involving multiple offenders. Security dogs can harness the power of their superior senses to detect distress, identify perpetrators, and to reinforce instructions when issued by professional security guards.
