BENEFITS OF HIRING A GUARD WITH A SECURITY DOG
Security Guard and Dog: A Powerful Deterrent
A security guard supported by a trained protection dog offers superior site security. Dogs have exceptional hearing, detecting sounds at four times the distance of humans, and can alert their handler to threats early. They can also pursue intruders at speeds of up to 20 mph.
A guard and dog team is a stronger deterrent than a guard alone and often more cost-effective than deploying multiple guards.
SWITCH ON SWITCH OFF
The days of "teeth on a leash" are behind us and the modern security dog is a well-trained and well-balanced tool in our kit. The security dog teams that we use will be versed in various situations and matched to the specifics of your task.
Some tasks require a level and balanced dog, including stressful situations such as crowds of people or children playing on-site. Our response will always be proportionate to the threat and dealt with in the best way possible. With intruders, we strive to dissuade our involvement. If dissuasiveness fails, we may apprehend and detain if we suspect an indictable act has been performed and ready to hand over the suspect to the Police.

searching and tracking
A major part of the charm of a protection dog is its nose. With a trained general-purpose security dog, you can often do work and cover more territory than a squad of many security officers might do. Nothing is better than a dog's nose for the early detection of an intruder, enabling us to identify and deploy resources in an optimal location to defend your site.
suitable vehicles
In addition to our dogs and preparation, the dog handlers working with Colosseum K9 will use a fully fitted van/suv for dogs and handlers.

high visibilty dog patrols

ColosseumK9 has a squad of experienced dog trainers, and their dogs open to our customers. As with all defense, there is no one size fits all solution to dog teams. The "look," the "sound," and the skill set of dogs and handlers will be matched to the task. When it comes to a security dog operation, they also are part of a broader security kit. It could be that security dogs are used as an initial presentation to get a word around the local area and then drop down to a guard operation. It may be that the site is of ample scale to make the use of dog teams and their long-range sense of smell more realistic than guards. It has been said that on the right type of site, a dog is more effective than a squad of five guards.
