About Pack Leader Nation

Training people, then dogs

Pack Leader Nation in Rigby works from the motto "we train people then dogs." The business describes itself as "just the translator," helping owners understand that most behavior issues are dogs trying to communicate. It uses adaptive training techniques customized to each dog's needs and the owner's experience level, and aims to help owners become knowledgeable about everything from nutrition to obedience. Pack Leader Nation reports helping families since 2005 and more than 1,500 dogs' lives changed.
