Watchdogs encourages and supports dog handlers in developing their core skill base in security dog handling to such a standard it enables those who put the time and effort in to compete at a national level. Security dog handler Sean Croak came from a previous company offering security dog services though this was not a specialist service of that company and had very little encouragement and support for those who wished to excel, within a number of months Sean and his security dog Rex had reached such a high standard it allowed them to enter the NASDU security dog trials.
Within Watchdogs we believe strongly in such ethics and encourage the development of all dogs and handlers, this includes Company Director Phil Hingle who won some silver hardware in a previous trials in the early days of the company and Head of Training Dave Hollis, who competed in the 2011 BPSCA trials (British Police and Services Canine Association) with a respectful 7th place out of 27 entries.
Sean joined Watchdogs with the view of developing his skills and had a passion to push hard for the trials, this alone takes a lot of commitment on his part and deservedly took a respectful 3rd place as a reward for his efforts (and of course ‘Rex’s’ efforts as well.) In addition, Sean won 3rd in Handler Protection, 3rd in Obedience, best newcomer to the trials and happiest dog!
From all at the Watchdogs Team ‘well done Sean and Security dog ‘REX’
