Operational questions
Questions clients often ask
Can a dog patrol alone?
No. ARN canine work is handler-led and follows agreed boundaries and safety controls.
Does every site suit canine deployment?
No. Welfare, public movement, terrain, other animals, and operational purpose must be assessed.
Can canine services work with guards?
Yes. The strongest model defines how the handler, guard posts, patrols, and escalation support one another.
