Rent a Dog for Professional Security Services

Rent a Dog Services were started by Braveheart Bio-Dog Academy because many firms, institutions, entertainment and sports venues, and diverse organizations have incidental or seasonal need for the services of properly trained service dogs and handlers. These can include once-off or periodic sweeps for possible drugs and/or explosive devices; patrol duties; crime prevention; crowd control; tracking; and associated applications. Because these actions do not warrant the cost of full time dogs and handlers, Rent a Dog has been created to full this gap in the market needs.

Why specifically use dogs or Rent a Dog?

Rent-a-Dog_Handler and Dog05It has been proven conclusively that the visible presence of a dog acts as a prime deterrent for trespassing, vandalism, theft, or unruly behavior. A team of a properly trained dog handler and dogs are more effective than a number of security officers without dogs. It is also true that Braveheart Bio-Dog Academy trained sniffer dogs can even detect explosives like the new variety of “Mother of Satan” explosives that cannot be picked up by electronic devices like x-ray machines because they contain no metal whatsoever, and are too unstable to train normal detection dogs.  They are equally effective for detecting drugs, or eco-products like dried or fresh meat, or endangered fauna species being smuggled through border posts.
