Working alongside the police, council licensing departments, licensees, town centre safety managers, and pub watch groups, our experienced dog and handler teams support efforts to reduce public disorder and criminal activity in licensed premises.
We understand it can be difficult for licensees to spot criminal behaviour, particularly the sale of drugs on their premises. From pubs, clubs and music venues to hotels, arenas and stadiums, we can support you in taking a proactive approach to prevent criminal activity.
All our handlers are certified by the National Association of Security Dog Users (NASDU) and hold a Security Industry Authority (SIA) Door Supervisor licence.
Whether you require our services for a one-off assignment, or you are a licensee and would like us to provide a regular service to deter criminal activity at your premises, please get in touch.
Our drug detection dogs are able to identify drugs passively and proactively in your pub, hotel, nightclub, or restaurant.
Should drugs be uncovered, you can take action by implementing the procedures in your drugs policy. In passive searches, our dogs scan customers as they enter and spend time in your establishment. In a proactive search, dogs scale large areas quickly before guests arrive, working off lead when it is safe to do so.
As licensed premises tend to house expensive equipment and vast quantities of alcohol, utilising patrol dogs for security purposes can be the ultimate crime deterrent.
Dogs have advanced senses, and our specially trained dogs can detect the presence of intruders much faster than a human. Replacing a valuable sound system and other expensive assets can be extremely costly for a business.
Illegal or counterfeit tobacco does not comply with UK safety standards and can cause extreme health risks. Our tobacco detection dogs are trained to identify real and fake tobacco, even if it is hidden behind a wall or under a floor.
To help the fight against the illegal tobacco trade, we work with law enforcement associations and organisations to search licensed premises.
Our detection dogs are highly trained to detect illegal Class A and Class B substances in any location across the UK.
Our tobacco detection dogs are trained to detect real and fake tobacco and search for contraband, which helps fight the illegal tobacco trade.
From crowd control to premises protection, we have dog and handlers teams available to provide a canine patrol service nationwide.
We are proud to be an associate company member of the National Association of Security Dog Users (NASDU).
NASDU promotes high standards, excellent training and ongoing education in the private security dog sector. We abide by the guidance & recommendations contained within British Standard 8517-1 for General Purpose Dogs & BS8517-2 for Detection Dogs. All our handlers are NASDU certified.
This British Standard sets the standard for screening security personnel working in an environment where safety of people, goods or property is essential.
It includes data security, sensitive and service contracts and confidential records.
Our dog handlers hold Security Industry Authority (SIA) licences.
The SIA is a statutory organisation that is responsible for regulating the private security industry in the UK.
All our handlers have undergone a Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) check, which searches for criminal records and activity.
As we regularly provide services to the education and healthcare sectors, the enhanced check shows that our handlers are suitable to work with children and vulnerable adults.
We were really happy with the visit – the handler was very professional when dealing with the students and always made sure they felt comfortable and safe. The dogs were fantastic too of course!
The visit was a great success. Please thank the handler and his dogs. Our Year 12s in Sixth Form especially loved your dog. Thank you so much for organising it for us and for visiting.
The dog team were great yesterday, really good to work with both of them. The handler did 3 assemblies, the students were spellbound, it had a good balance between education and fun that will mean the students remember the serious part to the message. Lots of positive comments from students, some really thoughtful questions asked of the handler and again, it was friendly and informative. The only
problem was that most of the students wanted to keep the dog and we could do with having him in school everyday. Thanks a lot.
The visit was just as we had hoped. Your dog handler was professional and friendly throughout the visit, and managed the trickier situations without fuss. We will definitely be using K9 in the future.
Yesterday was perfect. The handler was absolutely wonderful as were her dogs. Really positive response around school, students were exceptionally behaved and respectful. Thank you so much.
I just want to say a huge thank you to the handler and his dogs for today. They were all amazing, and we would definitely welcome them back again next year! The dog handler was so friendly with the students, and very professional, and a real credit to your company.
