Questions and Answers

Cost depends on site size, risk level, hours required and the type of cover needed. Larger or higher-risk sites may require more patrol coverage. While rates can be higher than standard guarding, the stronger deterrent and wider active coverage often reduce loss, damage and disruption.

Deployment can often be arranged within 24-72 hours, depending on location, site requirements and availability. Urgent cover can be provided faster where needed. A clear deployment plan is agreed before cover starts.

All handlers hold a valid SIA licence and are vetted before deployment. Dog teams are NASDU trained, controlled and assessed for operational work. Only competent, site-ready teams are deployed.

A handler carries out active patrols with a trained dog under control at all times. The dog helps detect movement, scent and unusual activity early, while the handler assesses and responds. This provides active on-site protection rather than passive monitoring.

In many environments, yes. A dog unit provides a stronger visible deterrent, wider site coverage and earlier detection of activity. This reduces the likelihood of trespass, theft and damage before incidents escalate.

Security dog handler services are suited to construction sites, warehouses, logistics yards, industrial premises and vacant properties. They are most effective where there are valuable assets, large perimeters or higher out-of-hours risk.

Yes. Most deployments focus on nights, weekends and unoccupied periods when sites are most vulnerable. This helps reduce theft, trespass, vandalism and unauthorised access outside normal working hours.

CCTV can record incidents, but it does not actively deter or respond. A security dog handler provides real-time detection, visible deterrence and immediate on-site response, helping prevent incidents rather than simply capturing them.
