littlefish 578 Posted February 23, 2010 Report Share Posted February 23, 2010 Who would look after the dogs? Presumably they would stay on the business premises all the time, and would have to be chained or kennelled, so someone would have to exercise, feed etc. Or would you hire out dog & handler? Would be an idea to read, learn, and inwardly digest the Animals Act 1971, and the Guard Dogs Act 1975. The dog would go back to the kennels where its being rented from and returned when staff have gone home. I am will read up on guard dogs act 1975 thanks very much. Who would be responsible if the dog savages someone? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Hannah4181 260 Posted February 23, 2010 Report Share Posted February 23, 2010 Obviously someone will have to pay for the upkeep .Plus what price would be charged for rent it may be cheaper to buy your own . The person who is renting the dog will pay for the upkeep mate. I think it could work in all honesty. Thats true it maybe cheaper to buy your own but I'm talking about renting to compnaies so they would have to pay someone to look after the dog, so it would be cheaper to rent one. I was thinking of charging in the regein of £40 a day. This is all hypothetical btw. so lets say it took off and you were inundated,how would you cope with training,rearing ect,you have to have a lot of dogs on hire to make a worth while living out of it surely The dogs theirselves would be cheap enough to buy if you get the admag you see GSD's and rotties going for cheap all the time, or even dogs that they cant re-home to a normal home. The training as would not not take that long to do as its alot easier to train a guardian breed to guard then other breeds to do what they were bred for. I would be very careful buying "cheap" GSD'S and Rotties . . . . Cheap usually means badly bred and a time bomb waiting to go off. A very good friend of mine trains protection dogs for a living, he sells his dogs to the Army and has exported them all over the world, he's at the top of his game and its taken years and years to get there, knowledge, expertise, and carefully selected breeding. I know for a fact there is NO WAY he would ever consider what your proposing . . . . even with some of the best dogs in the country. A highly trained protection dog in the wrong hands can be fatal. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

What happens whe 1 of these cheap (likely) badly bred ticking time bombs, attacks someone.........who would be liable?? Surely dogs that are trained to a high standard of guarding/protection work are bred from the best lines, they need to be as stable as they come otherwise it is an accident waiting to happen!!
