A VIP dog is an extra protection together with a bodyguard. The dog has a special analytical ability and sense, that pick up the smell of fear, which a perpetrator usually emits before an attack. The dog picks up on these signs faster than a guard would.
The dog wears a muzzle and is on a short leash. The dog handler will be within 1 meter of the client. Should there be a perpetrator who wants to get close to the client, the dog can be used to "push" the perpetrator away with the muzzle and hold this check until the bodyguards take over. If the threat to the client increases, the muzzle can be removed, in this way the dog escalates a step on the power barometer and most people give up their venture.
If the perpetrator still doesn’t stop what he is doing, the dog can be used to bite to protect the client.
