# Legends Dog Training

> Legends Dog Training teaches the Base Training Method™, a science-backed, relationship-centered approach to dog training for anxious, reactive, and hyperactive dogs. Founded by Alyssa Rose (CPDT-KA), the site offers structured online courses, free training videos, and educational resources built on behavioral science and positive reinforcement.

Legends Dog Training focuses on building calm, confidence, and connection between dogs and their owners before addressing specific behaviors — reactivity, fear and anxiety, aggression, leash pulling, restlessness, and hyperactivity. The core curriculum is the Base Training Method™, taught through four sequential online courses: Mat Work, Heel Work, Recall, and Send Away.
