K9 Response – Frequently Asked Questions
Here are answers to common questions about our K9 services.
In certain situations, dogs provide enhanced security due to their specialized training and heightened senses. Unlike humans, trained dogs act strictly on commands, eliminating the need for independent decision-making. Their acute sense of smell is highly advantageous for detecting threats, and their presence alone serves as a strong visual deterrent to potential intruders.
Yes, all our dogs and handlers follow the guidelines established by the BS 8517 Code of Practice for the use of security dogs. Our handlers are screened to ensure they hold a valid SIA (Security Industry Authority) license and are registered with NASDU (National Association of Security Dog Users). This registration guarantees that the dogs have undergone thorough training and are deemed safe for deployment. Regular ongoing training ensures our teams remain prepared for a wide range of security situations.
Our main K9 security services include:
