Security Dog Handler.
Patrol with a partner.
A security dog handler patrols with a partner whose presence changes everything: sites clear faster, intruders think twice, and the handler's read of the dog becomes a professional skill in itself. The route combines an SIA licence with NASDU handler training, and sites with dog cover pay above standard guarding rates for the capability.
