How I Create My Training Roadmap

Using the Whole Truth of a Dog’s

Individual L.E.G.S.

Kim Brophey’s L.E.G.S. Model of Integrated Canine Science, endorsed by leading canine scientists and celebrated by dog pros worldwide, has been called “the single most important development in the dog behavior industry” and “the future of dog training”. This system brings together the basic foundational system of orchestral elements that direct the behavior of every single animal on Earth and explains what this means for our modern canine companions. 

While dog training can be fun and useful for many things, it’s not the cure-all we’ve been led to believe that it is. We’re just not that powerful–our influence as humans is limited. Dogs exist within a vast natural ecosystem that extends beyond our control. This means their behavior is NOT all about “how you raise them”. Nature functions in much more intricate and complex ways. In reality, the behavior of all animals is influenced by the interaction of four primary elements:

These elements are designed to work cooperatively for every animal’s benefit and survival, creating the unique individual recipe of L.E.G.S. that each animal is. “Behavior problems” tell us that the L.E.G.S. of an animal is imbalanced. Modifying their behavior through training without a full appreciation for the complete picture of an animal’s L.E.G.S. profile may not only fail to address the root cause of the issue but can also lead to further psychological, behavioral, and emotional harm.

To effectively understand and train our canine companions in a meaningful way, it is crucial to understand the entire truth about them. Doing so not only benefits them but also helps us find resolutions to our own frustrations as their housemates, partners, and friends.
