In the United Kingdom, the search for a protection dog is rarely about acquiring a security asset. It is a search for predictable reliability in a market that often presents inconsistent standards. High net worth individuals and families want clarity, professionalism and peace of mind. Trident provides this through a method that is both disciplined and humane. Our programme combines military precision with modern behavioural insight. It is academically underpinned by a Master’s degree in Security and Risk Management. This creates a level of consistency that removes uncertainty from the process.
A Trident dog is steady, reliable and fully prepared for family life, whether you live in a London townhouse or a countryside estate.

Our philosophy guides every decision. We call it Military Precision, Human Care. It reflects our belief that a trusted family protector must be both reliable and gentle.
Our methodology is not based on anecdotal experience. It is structured and academically informed. The programme is led by our founder, a former military trainer with a Master’s degree in Security and Risk Management. Every dog progresses through a clear, risk-managed system. This produces predictable results. Clients know what they are receiving and why the dog performs as it does.
Trident is distinctive because we train both companion pups and elite protectors according to one ethical philosophy. This proves that our approach begins with care rather than force. Dogs are selected for stable temperaments and family suitability. Our reviews consistently mention how gentle our dogs are with children. We then complete a three day home integration to ensure the dog settles safely into your family and routines.
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. Doberman and Cane Corso breeds start from £75,000.
Our Elite dog is an elite family protection dog that has been raised in our director’s home since a puppy. We tailor the training to the client’s specific needs and requests. Mainly of German shepherd breeds, our elite dogs are from champion imported bloodlines or bred in-house from our elite protection dogs and raised until the age of 2. Trained fully off-leash in obedience and protection, with high-level scenario work carried out, ensuring the dog is proofed in every possible situation that may arise. Contact us for more information and pricing on our elite dogs.
Our breed selection prioritises emotional stability, environmental confidence and long term reliability. We do not select for aggression.
German Shepherds are valued for intelligence, balance and adaptability. A Trident German Shepherd remains composed under pressure and affectionate within the family. They are suitable for clients who need a versatile guardian that can manage complex environments.
Dobermans offer attentiveness and natural presence. Our focus on balanced European lines creates a calm and steady dog that can operate as a clear visual deterrent without compromising family integration.
We believe that expertise should be visible rather than hidden. Our clients see a clear progression from selection to aftercare.
We choose only dogs with stable temperaments and the correct emotional profile for family life. This early decision removes risk for the client.
Dogs are prepared through realistic scenarios and structured obedience. The programme is guided by formal risk management principles. This creates reliability rather than intensity.
A senior Trident trainer accompanies the dog during the first three days in your home. This ensures a safe introduction to children, pets and household routines. Authority is transferred calmly and clearly.
Aftercare is included. We remain available to ensure the dog continues to meet the standard you invested in.
Yes, Trident protection dogs are trained to be safe around young children. They are socialized to be gentle and protective, making them suitable companions in households with kids.
A standard guard dog often relies on instinct or territorial drive. A Trident protection dog is trained through a structured, academically supported process that focuses on controlled, reliable decision making.
The ideal choice depends on your household. German Shepherds and Dobermans are commonly recommended due to their balanced temperaments and suitability for UK family environments.
Safety begins with temperament selection. We choose dogs with high emotional stability and social confidence. Our companion pup foundation and mandatory three day home integration add further assurance.
Trident delivers a complete service. We manage selection, training and personal delivery throughout the United Kingdom.
We do not offer a single template for security. Each household has its own rhythm, responsibilities and risks. For this reason, we provide two clearly defined solutions that reflect the realities of either a high responsibility professional life or a busy family environment. Both solutions remove uncertainty by combining military precision with the reassurance of genuine human care.
This solution is intended for clients who require predictable reliability and discretion. It supports individuals who cannot afford interruptions or variability within their personal security arrangements.
This solution is intended for households where safety must sit comfortably alongside family life. It is chosen by clients who want protection, but who will never compromise the wellbeing of children, pets or visitors.
