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

Absolutely. Our protection dogs live in the house, sleep in the utility, get walked around Langtons House gardens, 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 your protection dogs safe around children in Hornchurch homes?

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

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.
