Security Dog Handling
At Splendid Security, we provide general-purpose security dogs handled by professionals trained to NASDU or BIPDT standards. Unlike unrefined security dogs, our K9 teams work strictly within the law to provide an effective deterrent and proactive response. The core skills of our security dog teams are tracking (detecting intruders via wind) and handler protection (intervening only when the handler is under threat). We utilize experienced security professionals; for us, the dog is an elite tool, not the driving force.
A modern security dog is a well-trained, balanced asset. Our dog teams are versed in various situations and matched to your specific task, whether it involves high-stress crowds or quiet site protection. Our response is always proportionate to the threat. We aim to deter by presence, but if a deterrent fails, our handlers are prepared to arrest and detain offenders for handover to the Police.
A qualified general-purpose security dog can often cover more ground than a team of several security officers. Using their superior sense of smell, our K9s provide early warnings of intruders, allowing us to detect and deploy resources in the ideal position to protect your site. Our dog handlers utilize professionally equipped kennel vans with provisions for both dogs and handlers to maintain operational readiness.
There is no one-size-fits-all approach to security. The “look,” “sound,” and skillset of each dog and handler team are matched specifically to your requirements. Security dog services often form part of a larger package—used as an initial high-visibility presence or for long-range patrols on large sites where a dog is more effective than a team of five guards.
