Security dog handling
SECURITY SERVICES IN LONDON
Orion provides security dog handling services for appropriate security assignments in London. We assess the proposed location, operating conditions and site requirements before agreeing whether a handler-and-dog deployment is suitable.
A deployment planned around the site
Dog handling can be considered for suitable site patrols and perimeter-security assignments. It requires specific planning around access, other people on site, working conditions and welfare. A deployment should be based on the actual risks and site instructions rather than a general assumption that a dog is suitable for every environment.
What the assignment can include
- Discussing the proposed patrol areas and site boundaries
- Identifying access restrictions and interactions with other site users
- Agreeing the handler’s assignment instructions and reporting route
- Planning the working arrangements and welfare requirements
- Recording observations and escalating incidents through the agreed procedure
Plan your service
Tell us about the premises, the hours of cover, public access, existing security arrangements and the reason dog handling is being considered. Any required personnel credentials, training evidence, insurance and deployment documentation should be established before an instruction is agreed. We will confirm the scope and arrangements for the proposed assignment.
Assess the operating environment
Dog-handling assignments need careful consideration of the environment and the people who may enter it. Discuss public access, other animals, vehicle movements, noise, boundaries and the available patrol area. Deployment is considered for suitable locations only, with the proposed duties and working conditions reviewed before an assignment is accepted.
Define supervision and site arrangements
The handler-and-dog role, access controls and separation from unrelated site activity should be clear to the client and site team. Discuss welfare arrangements, breaks, suitable working conditions and how changes in the environment are reported. Any required documentation and assignment-specific requirements are confirmed before agreement; no accreditation is implied by the service description.

Is dog handling suitable for every site?
No. Suitability depends on the environment, site risks, access arrangements and the people using the premises. We discuss these matters before agreeing a deployment.
