The foundation of every modern dog pro’s education

Understanding a dog’s individual L.E.G.S. is the foundation of everything that follows.

Endorsed by leading canine scientists and celebrated by dog professionals worldwide.

The L.E.G.S. model helps us clearly identify the elements of Learning, Environment, Genetics, and Self so we can fully understand our dogs, their welfare needs, and their behavior as their keepers.

LEARNING

The animal’s experiences & education in life.

Environment

External conditions of an animal’s world. 

Genetics

DNA that designed the animal inside and out.

Self

Internal conditions of the animal – (Health, Age, Sex, Personality etc.)

History

Evolving TOGETHER – this has been the vision of the L.E.G.S. Applied Ethology Family Dog Mediation Professional Course since its inception. 

The L.E.G.S. Initiative has sought to build a loving army of professionals, advocates, critical thinkers, creative minds, and partners who could progress the conversation of integrated canine science with meaningful efficiency in the aim of creating a new paradigm for dogs and their families living together in the modern world. Looking back over the last few years, that vision has indeed manifested into a reality -because of each and every one of our members who has made it possible!

Since the launch of the L.E.G.S. Applied Ethology Family Dog Mediation Course at Wolf Park in August of 2021, there have been thousands of students in more than 25 countries who have taken advantage of the unprecedented accessibility of the curriculum & acceptance in the community for all individuals – regardless of differences, experience, abilities, or limitations. Our students represent an impressive range of professional interests and specializations, and our mission is to foster their development in a collaborative environment that removes obstacles and optimizes their potential – with savings and scholarships to meet anyone’s needs. This incredible growing community has demonstrated a rare and inspiring opportunity within the dog world, one which Kim had envisioned but could not have imagined being so rapidly realized.

Course Details Course Curriculum

“I found the course to be extremely empowering and thought provoking. I am excited to begin adding LEGS into my training program and to continue my journey to learn additional ways to help dogs and their guardians. This has been one of the most powerful courses I have completed in the dog training/behavior space!!! Thank you, Kim, for your knowledge, expertise and sharing your vision of our dogs’ futures, as we continue to educate and provide new ways for guardians to understand and live in more harmony with their dogs!” 

“The course was amazing and easy to follow. As a dog trainer who is still not completely comfortable with “science terminology”, I found the text for the most part easy to digest after a few times of reading it over and having Ms.Brophey’s videos also made it more available & understandable. I also loved the added material towards the end of the course. The Dog Key training was so amazing and exciting!” 

“Truly! I just loved this course on so many levels. I had read your book and it made so much sense to me. I was thrilled to go deeper and finish with the understanding that this is how I’ve always lived with my own dogs but had gotten a bit “lost in the training sauce”. I’m excited to share this new understanding of some truly effective ways to work with dogs and where they are with the L.E.G.S rather than trying to fix “problems”. Thank you!” 

“This was the most awesome class I have ever taken. I was initially sad when I came to the end and then very excited to be able to order more hacks. This course has given me a whole new perspective on how I look at dogs. I plan to use this knowledge with all my clients and hopefully help each of them see their dogs through different eyes. I am definitely going to continue to learn more with all of you.”
