The presence of a security dog and handler is a proven deterrent to potential criminals
Our professional guard dog and handler teams are suitable for work in most fields from patrolling busy educational establishments and overnight security at events to remote locations where expensive machinery requires guarding.
Our security dog handlers are highly skilled, experienced and specifically selected for their communication and people skills.
AlphaGuardK9 guard dogs are typically German Shepherds and Rottweillers, and receive continuous training and ongoing assessment with their handlers, designed to:
- Develop the dog’s ability to pick up and indicate a presence
- Follow that scent using their tracking and air scenting skills
- Challenge intruders, track them and preserve evidence for the police
- Protect the handler when detaining a suspect
Our security dogs and handlers develop close working relationships from guarding, training and living together, which results in a formidable team.
Guard Dogs
Why are guard dogs more effective than humans?
One trained guard dog and dog handler unit can replace several security officers.
Where a security officer may be limited by their sense of vision, a guard dog can detect, locate and indicate an intruder or potential threat far quicker, and from a far greater distance.

Are security dogs likely to hurt people that are not a potential threat?
Our dogs are trained to a very high level; defending the handler or an innocent bystander are a very small part of their role. In the most extreme of threatening situations, the dog will protect and obey it’s handler.
Our handlers are aware of the responsibility they have with their canine partners and are trained to deal with situations where their ultimate control over their dog may be required.
