The Elder
The Self-Reliant

The Elder

Your dog watches before acting and spends very little energy on nothing. Their caution is not fear, it is economy.

What your report will let you understand

About your dog, not the profile in general: their eight scores, their exercises, their 21 day plan.

  • Why some situations are easy for them and others are hard
  • How they learn best
  • What actually motivates them
  • Which exercises suit their profile
  • Which mistakes to avoid with them

Two dogs of the same archetype can have very different profiles. It is your answers that place yours on the eight dimensions.
