FAQs — Crouch End

Are your protection dogs safe around children in Crouch End homes?

Every one of our protection dogs is temperament-tested around children, visitors and other dogs before it ever leaves us. In Haringey 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.

Can a protection dog live as a normal family dog in Haringey?

Absolutely. Our protection dogs live in the house, sleep in the utility, get walked around Priory Park, 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.

Are the dogs kennelled or live in a home?

Absolutely. Our protection dogs live in the house, sleep in the utility, get walked around Priory Park, and are switched off unless commanded. That's the whole point. 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.

How long does it take to deliver a protection dog to Crouch End?
