MOLLY'S STORY!
Don't euthanize your dog until you read about Molly, a rescued Australian Cattle Dog, who was able to beat a death sentence after working with Leader of the Pack Dog Training and Mark Dunlap. 

If your previous trainer failed to help with your dog's behavior, or suggested you EUTHANIZE your dog strictly due to behavior issues PLEASE CALL US FIRST!  If we can't help then the first session is FREE.

Fido Got YOU Frazzled?
Don't get MAD - get Control.  Help is on the way with Leader of the Pack Dog Training's Private Behavior Modification Sessions.

Maybe it's time you asked yourself:

Who's Leading Who?

If you are struggling with:
* Dog Walking vs. Dog Dragging
* Dog Not Coming When Called
* Distracted Dog
* Dog Jumping on People
* Run-away Dog
* Poor Doorway Behavior
* Leash, Food and Dog Aggression

​It's time you learned how to become the Leader of the Pack!

Private Behavior Modification Sessions allow our trainers to focus on specific issues in a holistic manner.  By working with the dog and owner in the environment where the issues arise the trainer is able to cue into triggers and side-issues that may be hampering your dog's success.

Each session will be tailored to the needs of your dog and may include basic obedience training. Your trainer will provide specific training tools and suggestions to help address your dog's issues. However, ultimately the success of any training will lay in the clients decision to take the leadership role and commit to following through with specific training tasks after the session.  Depending on the severity of the behavior additional sessions may be required. If so, the trainer will inform the client and make arrangements for follow-up as needed.

A True Miracle!


We have 2 Yorkies who are 7 and 8 years old. We have always had problems with the boy, Drago who is 7. He was aggressive when people came to the house. He would bolt out the door anytime we opened it despite our best efforts to keep him in. He would run away and not listen to us. We could not take him on walks because he pulled so bad and barked at everyone in his site. We had tried training classes when he was a puppy and other behavior modification, nothing worked. We thought we waited too long to train him and that we would have to live with his bad behavior until we met Mark! He came to the house for the initial 2 hour session met the dogs and got to know us. He worked with Drago and gave us what I like to call "homework". It was amazing! Within a few days we saw drastic changes. We had people over and he wasn't aggressive, he didnt run away as soon as the door opened and we were taking him on calm walks! No one could believe it when they came over. He was a different much happier dog which makes us so happy! This was 2 months ago and he is still doing great. Mark was a life saver for us!

Private Pack Therapy

Picture
Sometimes the best trainer for a dog is another dog - better yet, a pack of dogs. When a dog pack is balanced and well behaved they can help an anxious,  aggressive, or anti-social dog learn how to become balanced in a way only another canine can. 

Along with the careful, calm and determined guidance of our Leader of the Pack Dog Trainer, Mark Dunlap,  our dog pack will help to facilitate your dog's rehabilitation and socialization. During Pack Therapy your dog will learn the all important negotiation skills it needs to survive as a balanced member of the pack.
