FAQs — Islington

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 Islington?

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

Are the dogs kennelled or live in a home?

Absolutely. Our protection dogs live in the house, sleep in the utility, get walked around Regent's Canal, 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.

Do we get training after delivery?

Every placement includes a full handover session at your home in Islington so you're confident with the commands and the dog is confident in your environment. Aftercare is included. Phone, message, follow-up sessions — you're not left guessing after delivery.
