Burglary Security Solutions

Like many clients we were the victims of two burglaries at our property. Both involved outbuildings, not the main house, but nevertheless we were left feeling somewhat vulnerable. After the first burglary we upgraded our alarm system and installed CCTV, for the second burglary all that brought us were images of 4 men in hoods who were totally unidentifiable.

We decided it was time to investigate a protection dog. We spoke to two companies before calling K9 Protector, neither were helpful on the initial call, it was all about the sale rather than finding a dog to suit our needs. On calling K9 Protector we experienced a totally different approach. Our initial call was with Sian who could not have been more helpful; she spent 30 minutes on the phone to us to understand our needs and our situation. We have a rural home, 3 children, two other dogs, a cat and ideally wanted a dog which would be good with horses- not an easy list! Sian was confident she and Alaster could help; it would just need a bit of time to find the right dog. What was so refreshing was that there was no pressure, it was clear that unless they felt 100% sure we had the right dog for our household they wouldn’t sell one to us.

My wife and I drove down to Bath to meet Sian, Alaster and the team, we spent a good amount of time talking about our home setup, the other dogs, our cat and of course our children. Alaster and Sian selected a shortlist of four dogs to meet, all of which were lovely. We got to see all 4 dogs ‘in action’ and chatted through their characteristics and how Sian and Alaster thought they might fit in with us. We chose a lovely female who suited us best as a family and shortly after our dogs went on a doggy holiday to stay with Alaster and Sian such that they could socialise with our new protection dog. A few days later all 3 dogs came back as good friends and have got on really well since they came home around 8 weeks ago.

***** has been a wonderful addition to our house. She is absolutely adorable, a great family pet and it is clear her natural instincts are to look after us, she has grown attached to us all very quickly. She is a great visual deterrent and it is clear people are wary of such a dog when they see her.  Our son said something very insightful, ‘It’s not that I ever felt unsafe living here but it’s incredible how much more safe I feel with *****  here with us’.  A sentiment we all share.

Of course, we have had a few questions over the last couple of months but Alaster and Sian have been on hand to answer everything. We have exchanged messages and had follow up calls which have quickly answered our questions.

We have no hesitation in recommending K9 Protector to anyone looking for a protection dog. Alaster and Sian are incredibly knowledgeable and will help you every step of the way.
