FAQs — Highgate

How far do you travel from Highgate?

Highgate is comfortably inside our travel radius — we work across the whole of Greater London and the surrounding commuter belt. We're on A1 and A104 regularly, which puts Highgate well inside a straightforward drive from us.

Do you work with rescue dogs?

Regularly. A rescue with baggage is often exactly the sort of dog that benefits most from a proper structured programme. Straightforward: assessment, plan, structured work, handover. No mystique.

What breeds do you use for protection work?

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.

How long does it take to deliver a protection dog to Highgate?

Delivery to Highgate 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 Highgate so you're confident with the commands and the dog is confident in your environment.
