High-Level Protection Dog
We've had our elite protection dog for nearly 3 months and we couldn't be happier. Alastair and Sian have been absolutely amazing throughout.
As new dog owners living in Central London, without a garden and with both of us having busy jobs, we had a lot of queries and concerns about whether our lifestyles and the environment would suit a protection dog.
We needed a dog that provided a high-level of protection but was also sociable, as we have frequent visitors in the house and my husband wanted to take the dog to work. We had also just finished a full interior design and renovation of our house and wanted to be sure that a new dog wouldn’t undo all our hard work.
Alastair and Sian were extremely patient and addressed all our questions. They identified a lovely Belgian Malinois named Lxxxx who they thought would suit all our requirements. Initially, we were concerned about whether a Malinois would fit our lifestyle.
We had read that they are high-energy dogs that require constant exercise and mental stimulation.
We visited Bath to meet Lxxxx, Alastair and Sian, and we spent at least two hours talking with them about how we lived and whether Lxxxx would be a good fit.
After nearly 3 months, we can say with certainty that Alastair and Sian's assessment was spot on. Lxxxx is extremely happy with us and we built a very close bond with her really quickly. We cannot imagine life without her.
She fits into our life perfectly. As long as she's close to her humans, no matter where that is, she’s content.
In the time we've had her, Lxxxx hasn't had a single potty accident or caused any damage around the house.
While she enjoys long walks and fetching her ball (or frisbee), she also knows how to be calm when we need to work and loves a good snooze while we watch TV.
Her obedience is also excellent, all the time. Whether at home, work, or out and about getting a coffee, or in the park. I now have much more peace of mind when I'm alone at home, knowing that no one will come through the door without me knowing, and that Lxxxx is ready to jump into action if needed.
What surprised us most is how affectionate Lxxxx is. We’ve never met a dog that enjoys cuddles more than she does, and she's truly a joy to have around.
Alastair and Sian have supported us every step of the way. We've had a WhatsApp group with them from the beginning, and they're always available if we need advice.
They’ve had infinite patience with us.
Getting Lxxxx is the best decision we've ever made. Not only do we have a protector always looking out for us, but we also have the most loving, family pet we could hope for.
It's been a great journey, and we would make that decision again in a heartbeat.
Best wishes
