FAQs — Theydon Bois

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.

Do we get training after delivery?

Every placement includes a full handover session at your home in Theydon Bois 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.

Can a protection dog live as a normal family dog in Epping Forest?

Absolutely. Our protection dogs live in the house, sleep in the utility, get walked around Theydon Bois Green, 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.

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.
