Primarily, they were interested in discussing the reasons for the protection dog team presence, how our teams are trained, what a typical day in the life of a security dog is like and the general reaction shoppers have to the dog.

It is therefore absolutely paramount that teams (both human and canine) possess the correct characteristics to thrive in such a demanding (at times) operating environment.
