Criminal gangs and ram-raiders will avoid areas known to be patrolled by dogs. When your business relies on the safety and security of your goods and your premises, a security dog handler can provides peace of mind.

Most of our clients opted for our dog security services where a large area of land or building is a need patrolled and where the check of the whole perimeter of the site is required. These sites can include:

  • Corporate buildings and offices: Where issues cannot be resolved by a static guard alone
  • Vacant land: Is at high risk of intrusion and illegal occupancy
  • High-crime area: Where a security dog is required for safety
  • Drug detection: Where expert dog smell and handler experience is required
  • Large sites: Where the full exterior and interior need to be covered

Dog security can be an excellent visual deterrent for your site and help prevent damage, vandalism or theft. A security dog is essential in alerting his or her handler of an intruder who then takes the measures to take care of the situation. Our guards will also provide strict access control for your site to ensure no unapproved personnel gain entry. Access must be pre-authorised.

A dog handler and dog can provide active solutions to your security concerns by patrolling an area and pre-empting any irregularities.

In addition to dog security, IronTailsSecurity encourages that clients use guard patrol monitoring software, so they can easily see where our dogs and handlers are.

Professional Dog Security Services Throughout The UK​

IronTailsSecurity provide fully accredited, qualified dog security services in London and throughout England, Scotland, and Wales. Our NASDU qualified handlers and dogs are trained to deploy in a variety of contexts where we can provide a really powerful visual and physical deterrent to crime and criminal act’s. Our dog services are often key where conventional security or guarding may be less effective or where the risk is heightened.

Security dogs are frequently deployed in instances that require speed and enhanced detection capability. Security dogs are typically used for guarding empty properties, construction sites, logistics depots, distribution centres, industrial units, high-value storage locations etc – and they are even used for representing companies as security dogs are often mistaken for or perceived as general security presence. Our handlers and dogs are frequently employed for public events (public and private), festivals, and sports venues for crowd control and deterrent. For example, patrolling dogs in public spaces works well for us, even open air festivals where our dogs are deployed for public presence. Mobile dog patrols are used for rural and/or extensive locations i.e. Farms, private estates, renewable energy sites etc where static guarding regularly would not suffice on its own.
