FAQs — Potters Bar
Absolutely. Our protection dogs live in the house, sleep in the utility, get walked around Oakmere 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.
Every placement includes a full handover session at your home in Potters Bar 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.
Every one of our protection dogs is temperament-tested around children, visitors and other dogs before it ever leaves us. In Hertsmere 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.
