Are your K9 handlers certified?

Every handler deployed by Manchett Security holds a valid NASDU Team Certificate and works to BS8517-1 standards on every site.

It’s the British Standard covering how a security dog and handler are expected to operate together on a live site, from patrol conduct to welfare.

What sectors do you provide K9 Security Services for?

Mostly construction sites, events, logistics hubs, schools and vacant properties, though NHS and government sites feature regularly too.

Can I book a dog team for a single event only?

Yes. Manchett Security arranges single-event or short-notice cover as often as ongoing site contracts, and both get booked through the same process.

Do your K9 teams work alongside security guards or CCTV?

Often. Larger or higher-risk sites regularly combine a K9 team with Security Guarding or a CCTV Tower, giving Manchett Security more than one way to catch something before it becomes a problem.

Where Our K9 Units Are Deployed

Construction sites make up a good share of where our dogs end up working, though a night patrol on an empty warehouse looks nothing like a dog team working the perimeter of a live event. Handlers read the site and adjust rather than running the same routine everywhere.

A single dog and handler might cover a static yard overnight on their own. Larger or higher-risk sites get more than one team, moving the patrol route around at intervals rather than sitting in one spot. Our K9 Security Services get built around what the site actually needs that night, not a standard package.

NASDU Certification and BS8517-1 Standards Explained

Every handler working under our K9 Security Services holds a valid NASDU Team Certificate, renewed and checked rather than issued once and forgotten about. That certification sits alongside BS8517-1, the British Standard covering how a dog and handler are expected to work together on a live site.

A dog without a certified handler is just an animal on a lead. The certification proves the handler can read the dog’s behaviour and respond correctly under pressure, not just walk it round a perimeter.

Flexible K9 Deployment

A one-off event might only need a single dog team for an evening’s crowd control. A live construction site running for a year needs an entirely different arrangement – rotating handlers, welfare cover for the dogs themselves, numbers that flex as the site changes. We’re one of the providers of Security Dogs UK sites turn to for both.

K9 Security Services also work well stacked with Security Guarding or a CCTV Tower on larger or higher-risk sites. A dog reacts to movement or scent before it ever shows up on a camera feed, and a guard’s already moving by the time footage would have caught anything.
