About Us

The DNA of a Truly Superior, Bespoke Protection Dog

Bespoke. A lovely British word dating to the early 1500s, but too often a word overused or misused. Originally referring to custom tailored, like a fine suit or heirloom furniture, for us, it fits perfectly. Every dog we sell and train is tailored precisely for your needs, your lifestyle and for your family.

The Difference is our Methodology

Training with Behavioural Insight

Protection Dogs in the UK are increasingly popular and desirable for both individuals and families. At Themis Delta, our objectives may surprise you. Volume and scale have never been a priority. We deliver dogs that are trained, happy and socialised to become well-behaved and beloved members of your family. The details matter, quick production line training won’t do. They need and deserve more.

Our proprietary method integrates your protection dog with family and existing pets. Combining obedience and socialisation, we have designed it not to disrupt your life but to fit seamlessly into it. We do it all, handling everything for you; health, husbandry, welfare and more.

The objective is to do everything required to reinforce and maintain your dog’s learning. You will feel confident and competent after adding a new protection dog to defend and protect your home and family.

The Themis Delta Team

A decorated police dog handler and a renowned animal behaviourist deliver a unique blending of skills with rare perspective in a uniquely holistic approach. The result is a seamless integration into your home.

Ben

Ben served in the British Army with coveted duty in The Household Cavalry, Knightsbridge, London. This featured mounted ceremonial and operational duties for the Royal Family during a wide range of special events. While at The Household Cavalry, his expertise working with horses in high-pressure environments revealed his rare affinity for handling animals. During his service in the British Army, Ben was also posted to the Defence Animal Centre, his initial exposure to military working dogs. Joining the Police Service after retiring from the Army allowed him to further augment his skills as an elite Police Dog Handler. Highly sought-after positions like these are strictly limited and awarded only after an extensive training and selection process.

Success there was demonstrated by his twice being awarded for bravery, resolving violent incidents with knives, firearms, emotionally unstable individuals, deploying a dog from a hovering helicopter, and as part of an elite counter-terrorism team. You’ll learn to protect yourself and your loved ones from a top UK trainer who has mastered conflict resolution and the nuanced complexities of criminal and common law. Upon retiring from the Police Service, Ben consulted with clients in the dog protection industry but saw an urgent need for a better approach. Co-founding Themis Delta with Adelaide, today they work with high-net-worth individuals, families and top global security firms.

Adelaide

Adelaide is a well-known and accomplished animal behaviourist with a twenty-year record of successfully training dogs for obedience, protection, and competitive field trials. Her vast experience addresses aggression, anxiety, fear and more. She is educated at Oxford and holds a BSc (Hons) degree from the Royal Agricultural College. Her understanding of animal science, equine science, and animal behaviour meets each dog’s individual needs. Additional specialised certifications have made her a renowned authority in her field, and veterinary practices increasingly refer challenging and complex cases to her. This reflects their trust in her qualifications, skills and experience as a compassionate and empathetic dog trainer.

Every dog is unique, as are their circumstances and challenges, but in every situation, Adelaide’s priority is earning the trust and respect of both the dog and her clients. To accomplish this, she brings fierce dedication and commitment to maintaining a supportive relationship for all. This ensures Themis Delta protection dogs set a higher standard in the UK. Acknowledged as a leading dog behaviourist, Adelaide has been featured on BBC radio and recognised in UK Publications. And for fun with her beloved German Shepherd, Mako, a passionate trial competitor.
