FAQs — Hoddesdon

Are your protection dogs safe around children in Hoddesdon homes?

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

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.

Do you cover Hoddesdon?

Yes — Hoddesdon sits inside our regular working area across Hertfordshire. We're on A10 and A1170 regularly, which puts Hoddesdon well inside a straightforward drive from us. Working area around Hoddesdon includes broxbourne, ware, hertford and out from there.

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.

Are the dogs kennelled or live in a home?

Absolutely. Our protection dogs live in the house, sleep in the utility, get walked around Lee Valley 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.
