FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Concise answers, written for people who value both time and discretion.
Dogs and expectations
Is a protection dog a substitute for security staff?
No. A dog can be one layer of a plan. Where the situation warrants it, professional security remains separate.
Which breeds are common?
Belgian Malinois, German Shepherds, Rottweilers, Dobermans and Dutch Shepherds appear most often, and individual dogs matter more than the label.
Will the dog work with several handlers?
It can, within limits. A primary handler and a trained alternate work best.
How long does it take to prepare a dog?
It varies by dog and program, and some premium programs train for around two years before placement. Ask for a written timeline.
