Brian Agnew began his career in dog training and dog behavior by completing an intensive 4-month Shadow Program on dog psychology. Brian has completed many advanced dog training workshops as well as several advanced canine nutrition seminars.

Wanting to find the most natural way in working with dogs Brian started looking into to the dogs instinctual drives for survival and their relationship to all the behaviors seen in our dogs.

Pack Drive, Defense Drive and Prey Drive are the 3 instinctual drives our dogs have to survive. It is safe to say that a majority of problematic dogs are operating in the wrong drive. Suppressing the problem drive is not the answer.

Gaining control of those drives and using or switching them to not only train but build a better relationship where the dog operates more in Pack Drive is ideal
