Alpha Dog Training Specialising in the reduction of aggression and anxiety without gimmicks, gizmos or any harsh and punishing corrective methods. Welcome to Simon Boyd's unique Alpha Dog Training system. If you are seeking help with any issues, but especially aggression and/or anxiety this method can provide effective and affordable help. Alpha Dog Training draws from and uses many different sources which is why it is so powerful in the results it can help you to achieve. Whilst this system can help with any dog problems it is most suited and applicable to two of the hardest problems to work with-aggression and anxiety. These two areas often fail to respond to the more conventional style of dog training which focuses on obedience and commands. Alpha Dog Training is very different because we focus on using ‘dog psychology’ rather than humanising our dogs, to make the changes. Basic and primal ‘dog psychology’ as used in Alpha Dog Training focuses on the humans in the family-system being what is often called the “pack leader”. Some dog’s being more dominant develop aggression and/or anxiety if they feel that they are the “pack leader”. The central goal of Alpha Dog Training is to relieve your dog of any need to experience either aggression or anxiety by removing its role as the dominant one in the group. Whether it is just you and your dog or you are family of 10 with 5 dogs you must be both trusted and respected if your dog is to let go of patterns of aggression and/or anxiety. Being “pack leader” is both an art and a science and it has nothing to do with shouting or punishing a dog with violence. This is how and why Alpha Dog Training is more about you than the dog! The goal of Alpha Dog Training is to change the way you think, feel and therefore the way you behave around you dog! When you change your dog changes!
