Why You Should Consider Patrol Dogs

If you happen to own an important piece of property or are securing a high-risk area, such as the office of a large corporation, or a prison, you should closely consider purchasing some patrol dogs. People can make great security guards, but dogs are able to do things that we cannot. A dog-human guard duo can make a powerful team able to secure even the most difficult to protect premises.

We humans are clever animals, and we also have a pretty good sense of sight, at least during the day. Fact is, however, our sense of smell is quite weak, at least when compared to other animals, and especially canines. At the same time, our sense of sight that functions so well during the day can't pick up much at night.

Luckily, where our senses fail, a dog's senses can excel! Dogs have an extremely good sense of smell. For us people it's hard to even imagine what dogs are capable of smelling! A dog can smell an intruder lurking in the dark before said intruder is even aware that there is a dog nearby. Dogs also have better vision at night than we do.

These special skills are why the military, police forces, and the world's best security firms are increasingly adding dogs to their team. Dogs are more effective than just about any machine, alarm system, or camera system.

Of course, patrol dogs are just one element of any high-caliber security team. A dog on its own can secure a premise, such as a personal home and ward off most intruders. However, if you are securing a very high-risk facility, such as a prison, you'll need more than patrol dogs. Either way, dogs can work in unison with guards and other elements of your security team. We also provide K9 handler courses if you're interested in developing a fully functional K9 unit.

On the other hand, if you are looking to secure a lower-risk facility, such as a junkyard or a storage facility, a patrol dog on its own is enough to ward off most potential intruders. So no matter your needs, consider adding a canine to your security system!

As Brad Croft states, “Honestly, I don't think there's a better security system than a well-trained canine. Their fearlessness, ability to smell intruders, and ability to restrain or disable potential criminals make them perfect for providing security.”
