Leadership Skills Course

Dog’s respect, follow and love leaders. Not tyrants, not people who dominate or hurt them. Leaders. When the all important recall comes, the one that may, no exaggeration, save their life – does your dog see you as that leader they will follow anywhere or not?

All at home

You spend most of your time with your dog at home. It's where the errors start and the biggest changes can be made.

Building foundations

We help you build the right relationship and make sure your dog looks at you as their kind, fair and loving leader.

In your own time

No pressured timescales or deadlines to meet, just commitment from you to the process to make it work.

Force free

No punishments involved - just some ground rules and boundaries for your dog to follow.

What does your dog see when they look at you? A loving provider? A grumpy boss spoiling their fun? You can’t build a house without foundations. You wouldn’t even try! If you want to have a well trained dog, help them with their behaviour problems and live in harmony then you need to setup the right relationship. That relationship is your foundation for everything else. This is the cornerstone of Clan Dog, it’s the vital piece of the puzzle that our head trainer Allan has been teaching to thousands of private clients with huge success for years. Now available online via this challenge.
