A Trident Doberman is selected and trained for families and professionals who want protection without unpredictability. Our approach combines a disciplined, academically informed training methodology with a family-first philosophy. It is designed by our founder, who holds a Master’s degree in Security and Risk Management and has a background in military training. This ensures a structured and reliable process that produces a calm and trustworthy protector.
A Trident Doberman is not defined by intensity or force. It is defined by stability, clarity and a dependable character that integrates naturally into daily life.

A Doberman can be an excellent option for clients who want a confident, intelligent and emotionally balanced protection dog. At Trident, we refine these natural traits through an ethical, risk-managed method that prioritises safety and predictability.
Emotional stability
We select dogs that show calmness, confidence and steady decision making.
Intelligence and adaptability
Dobermans respond well to structured, scenario based training when guided through a professional methodology.
Clear protective presence
Their physical profile serves as a natural deterrent, while training ensures controlled behaviour.
Family suitability
Each dog is socialised to be safe with children and other household animals. Our process emphasises gentleness, predictability and social confidence.
Our clients value clarity and reassurance. Trident fulfils this through two essential proof points.
Our training programme is shaped by formal risk management principles. This provides:
A clear, structured training pathway
Behavioural benchmarks and documented progression
Scenario based preparation that reflects realistic environments
Reliable and calm performance under pressure
We also train companion pups. This is the strongest evidence that our philosophy is based on care rather than force.
This means:
Selection for emotional steadiness and social confidence
Early socialisation that creates safety around children
Reviews that frequently mention “gentle with our children”
A three day home integration that guarantees safe introduction to family members and pets
A Doberman offers a balanced blend of presence, confidence and social awareness. When selected and trained correctly, the breed provides:
Reliable protection without unnecessary intensity
Natural suitability for both households and professional clients

A Trident-trained Doberman is not aggressive; it is protective. Aggression is based on fear; protection is based on confidence. Our academic training methodology ensures the dog remains calm and only engages a threat when commanded or when there is a clear, imminent danger to the handler.
Our dogs receive extensive training in obedience on and off the lead, and in protection on the lead. They are trained to bite and release on command. Prices for Level One dogs start from £35,000 with Doberman and Cane Corso breeds starting from £40,000.
Our Level Two dogs are fully trained in advanced obedience, both on and off the lead, and in protection, both on and off the lead. They can search a house or perimeter on command, hold intruders at bay, execute a long-distance attack, and return to the ‘close’ position on command. Additionally, they are trained to ‘watch’ on command and ‘out’ on command. Prices for Level Two German Shepherds and Belgium Malinois start from £45,000. Doberman and Cane Corso breeds start from £55,000.
Our Level Three training is the most advanced level of dog training we offer, with full on and off lead obedience and protection training, as well as high levels of scenario work. We only provide five dogs per year at this level, and we encourage you to call us to discuss a Level Three package. Prices for Level Three German Shepherds start from £65,000.
