How Protection Dogs Improve Home Security

With rising crime rates and ever under resourced and overstretched police forces, home security solutions are becoming increasingly popular as private individuals feel the need to step up and protect themselves and their families. Protection dogs are an excellent way to improve home security, and have proven to be highly effective.

A protection dog’s presence alone can often be enough to deter potential burglars or attackers from targeting a given property. Few intruders would deliberately enter a property where they know their presence will elicit a noisy response, likely attracting unwanted attention or calls to the police. Prevention is far better cure, and even the simple act of displaying signs warning of a protection dog’s presence should not be underestimated.

Protection dogs also offer heightened sensory perception and instant threat response. Where surveillance and detection technology may fail and human security teams can be slower than ideal when responding, a protection dog will both identify and react to threats quickly and effectively. Its proximity to its family means that it should always be in a position to protect them, and it can also be used as a stand-off capability rather than released on an intruder.

While modern technology and traditional human guarding solutions both have their place, we are firmly of the belief that a trained protection dog can significantly improve any home’s security.
