The high profile presence of a dog team can deter those intending to steal or cause damage and this in itself can save clients not only money but the inconvenience of replacing stolen machinery and materials or repairs that may shut down work in that area until they are completed.

Should someone actually enter the site then the Dog Team are trained to search for them (or evidence that may link someone to an offence) and apprehend that person(s) until Police arrival. Should the handler come under attack, the dog is trained to protect them, ultimately through biting should the circumstances require such a response. This is one of the most important elements of the dog team’s training.
