Construction sites are high risk targets susceptible to theft, vandalism and squatters, especially out of hours. These threats can cause project delays, put strain on your finances and could damage your reputation. Our experienced SIA licensed security dog and dog handler units can provide professional round the clock site monitoring to mitigate risk and minimise project downtime.
Peace of Mind 24/7.
Construction sites are often vulnerable targets for theft, vandalism, and squatting, especially during shutdown periods or overnight. While you can’t always be on-site to monitor activity, you can rest assured that our highly trained security dog and handler teams are there to provide constant protection. Their presence alone is a powerful deterrent, making your site an unappealing target for criminals and trespassers.
Our security dogs undergo regular scenario-based training, ensuring they respond reliably and effectively when a threat is detected. With their heightened senses of smell, sight, and hearing, security dogs can identify potential dangers long before a human guard could. This advanced detection capability gives their handlers critical time to assess and respond to suspicious activity, even in low-visibility conditions or areas beyond the handler’s immediate range of vision. This proactive approach to security is particularly invaluable during site shutdown periods when the risk of intrusion is at its highest.
Cost efficient construction site security.
Maintaining efficiency is essential for keeping construction projects on time and within budget. That’s why a single professional security dog and handler team is such a smart investment. One trained dog unit can effectively replace up to three static guards, significantly reducing staffing costs without compromising the level of security on-site. This allows you to allocate resources more efficiently while ensuring that your site remains protected around the clock.
In addition to being cost-effective, the presence of a security dog unit also enhances safety for the personnel protecting your site. Trespassers are far less likely to engage with a dog due to its imposing presence and defensive capabilities. On the rare occasions when a confrontation does occur, the dog is trained to protect both itself and its handler, reducing the risk to human life.
Our tailored construction site security solutions provide a reliable, efficient, and safe way to protect your valuable assets, materials, and equipment. By choosing a dog and handler team, you’re investing in a highly effective security system that not only prevents potential losses but also ensures peace of mind that your site is in expert hands.

Case Study
Northampton & Derby – Canal upgrade programme.
Situation
React K9 were tasked with protecting assets being used to renovate the locks including high value equipment. We deployed an experienced handler who had a background in specialist security.
The handler had to be located inside the boat, leaving his vehicle on the main road and navigating down a public footpath. We conducted a site risk assessment and instructed the handler to take extra precaution and muzzle his security dog as he was using a public pathway to reach the site.
Outcome
The client was impressed with the professionalism and safety measures we put in place and remarked that our attention to detail and risk assessment was superb. The following week we gained three additional lock security sites and replaced the previous security contractor.
