Reports in England claim John Terry is taking delivery of a terrifying £15,000 guard dog to protect his home from raiders.

The ex-Chelsea star – now assistant boss at Aston Villa – was raided by a well-planned gang in 2017 who stole more than £400,000 valuables from his mansion.

According to The Sun, he has become the latest high-profile name to move to protect his home with a snarling dog which security experts believe are more of a deterrent than sophisticated alarms and cameras.

He and wife Toni have put their name down for German Shepherd-type breed which is finishing its final training before being delivered to their home in Surrey.

The dog is being provided by renowned Chaperone K9 who train breeds to be docile family pets that become roaring beasts when a threat is detected.

On the firm’s website, bosses reveal: “Chaperone K9 have built a strong reputation. We are renowned for supplying trained dogs to the very highest quality that offer both security and love to their new families in an often unpredictable society.”

Premier league stars Paul Pogba, Marcus Rashford, Raheem Sterling, Andy Carroll and Jamie Vardy all have guard dogs from the firm.
