Dog K9 Unit

With the relentless growth in crimes against property and person, the practice of using guard dogs in everyday conditions and situations is becoming increasingly popular. Our dogs have become a regular feature at venues around Sydney. In many locations or under certain conditions dogs not only provide a superior solution but are also more cost effective thanmost traditional measures.

For example, a typical outdoor compound housing a hundred or more vehicles can be more effectively and economically controlled by a single man and dog team ratherthan by two or three static guards. With superior speed, agility, hearing, sight and sense of smell, dogs are better suited than humans to certain areas of security and they perform amazingly well in dim poorly lit areas.

A properly trained dog does not maul suspects, the dog is part of a team with its handler and working together, they become an effective means of deterring, locating and apprehendingcriminals and thereby preventing crime against property or person.

Proper training ensures our dog handlers have the correct attitude and professionalism to always conduct themselves and their canine partner in a law abiding and publicly acceptable manner.

Before being trained, all dogs are tested for stability, courage, obedience, tactical obedience, agility, handler protection, area and building searches and offender apprehension.
