The ten archetypes
The Independent
The Self-Reliant

The Independent

Your dog genuinely likes you and feels no need to prove it every ten minutes. They pick their own spot, usually three metres away, and they are perfectly happy there.

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.
