Protection Dogs for Bishop's Stortford — Calm at Home, Sharp on Command

Delivery to Bishop's Stortford depends on the dog — most placements happen within 8–16 weeks from selection. We don't rush the timeline to hit a slot. Every placement includes a full handover session at your home in Bishop's Stortford so you're confident with the commands and the dog is confident in your environment.

Absolutely. Our protection dogs live in the house, sleep in the utility, get walked around Sworders Field, and are switched off unless commanded. That's the whole point. A properly trained dog has an on/off switch. Off is the default. On is a command from you.

Every one of our protection dogs is temperament-tested around children, visitors and other dogs before it ever leaves us. In East Herts we've placed dogs into homes with toddlers, teenagers and everything in between. Nerve, sociability and clarity in the bite are all screened before a dog is offered. If a dog doesn't pass, it doesn't go out — regardless of the postcode it's heading to.

Bishop's Stortford is comfortably inside our travel radius — we work across the whole of Hertfordshire and the surrounding commuter belt. We're on M11 J8 and A120 regularly, which puts Bishop's Stortford well inside a straightforward drive from us.

We favour Malinois, working-line German Shepherds, Dutch Shepherds and — for family placements — sometimes Cane Corso and Rottweilers with the right temperament. Breed choice depends on the household. Nerve, sociability and clarity in the bite are all screened before a dog is offered. If a dog doesn't pass, it doesn't go out — regardless of the postcode it's heading to.
