1. What is K9 security, and how does it work?
K9 security involves specially trained security dogs and professional handlers working together to protect people, property, and premises. Our dogs are trained to detect intruders, search areas, and deter threats, while handlers manage the situation with full legal authority and control.
Are your dogs and handlers certified?
Yes. All our handlers are SIA licensed and NASDU certified, and our security dogs are trained to BS8517 standards, ensuring they meet all legal and operational guidelines in the UK.
How effective is K9 security compared to traditional guards?
K9 teams offer a greater deterrent effect and can detect intruders using smell, sound, and instinct—often well before they are visible. In many cases, the presence of a security dog is enough to prevent criminal activity before it starts.
Is K9 security safe for the public and staff?
Absolutely. Our dogs are controlled, socialised, and professionally handled at all times. They only engage when necessary and always under the command of their handler. They are trained to work safely around people while providing an authoritative presence.
