TESTIMONIALS

	Image from "Fidelity" publication of the German Shepherd Dog Club of Queensland, Affiliated with the German Shepherd Dog Council of Australia Text as follows:- When I bought Beau he was nearly 4 years old and had been desexed. He was initially trained as a security dog by Ross Allan and I worked with him on a mobile security patrol. Ross saw potential in Beau and encouraged me to train him for an Obdeience Title. After a little over twelve months Beau had his C.D. title and we had won the Novice Class and the 'Winner of Winners' at the G.S.D. Nationals held in Brisbane 2000. Beau still works with me on patrols at Sunshine Plaza, Maroochydore, where he is put into some challenging situations from dealing with violent offenders to getting a friendly pat from young children. Many thanks go to Ross Allan for his insightful training and hard work with Beau and myself. Tony Collins

				Logan (Ch Coombehill Logon UD) born 22/11/1998 Sire: Aust Ch Coombehill Barney Dam: Coombehill Brae Rana Has obtained a perfect score of 200 in UD Owned and trained by Charmaine Fields of The Caves, Queensland, Australia
			Maddie (Saar No Matter What UD) born 27/11/1999 Sire: Aust Ch Astasia Carson ET OC Dam: Aust Ch Vonbrabson Karalee Obtained a score of 199 in UD Owned and trained by Lyn Ellerton of Cawarral Queensland Maddie would not have reached her full potential without the guidance and knowledge I have gained from Ross. I have learnt much more than just training a dog for the obedience ring, but about the dog's psychie and the importance of pack structure, which has allowed me to keep harmony between my two bitches. This was not the case when I first brough Maddie home, I had six months of fights and was on the verge of taking Maddie back to the breeder, before she was torn to shreds. Ross came on the scene and helped me get on top of my bully dog, Kes. It has also allowed me to have obedient dogs which I can take anywhere and I know they will behave themselves well. This was proven on a recent trip to Victoria, where many strangers came up to me to congratulate me on the beautiful behaviour of my dogs. Lyn Ellerton

Our Kennel name is Meinemann Dobermanns. We have had Dobermanns for over 25 years and during this time have been involved in Conformation Shows ,Obedience and Schutzhund Sport.
Over the years we have trained with various ‘Dog Trainers’ and followed their training methods. We must say we found only limited success in the training with our Dobermanns , especially with our ‘hard dogs’ and their behaviour in the show ring. It was always a ‘battle’ in the show ring to control their aggressive behaviour.
One day I came across a book titled: DOG OBEDIENCE TRAINING by ROSS ALLAN. I started reading the book and put into practice the training exercises as described by Ross.
The results are unbelievable!
I have been so fortunate to meet Ross and he explained to me the importance of establishing the pack structure. Ross’s training methods are based purely on this pack structure. I found that this is the key to successfully training the Dobermanns.
Under Ross’s guidance we trained our little female puppy from 8 weeks of age. She is now 8 months old and capable of doing the whole BH routine for Schutzhund. We never dreamed this could be achieved so quickly.
Ross is now getting one of our pups from the forthcoming litter and we wish Ross well with the pup.
I would strongly recommend Ross Allan’s training methods to any Dobermann owner

I have been involved in the animal industry, one way or another, for over thirty five years. During this time have come across a great deal of "dog trainers", and I use that term loosely. Over the years I have seen "trainers", with their new or so called kind methods, come and go. I have also seen a few “true” dog trainers. I was very fortunate to have trained under the late, great William Koehler, of whom I based all of my training and I have had great success with very hard dogs. Then a few years ago while I was a Refuge Manager for the RSPCA, I first heard of Ross Allan. I was told he was ex RAAF Police dog handler and, as I knew that the RAAF training program had been based on the Koehler's method, I was very keen to meet him.
Over the years I have been more than impressed with the method Ross employs. While still with the RSPCA I referred a lot of people to Ross. These people had brought dogs in because the owner couldn't handle them for one reason or another. After training with other trainers, these people had been told their dogs were untrainable or just dangerous and nothing could be done. With all of the dogs that I referred to Ross, he was able to help everyone. Many of the owners brought their dogs back to show me and they had changed remarkably. These dogs, if they had been surrendered to the RSPCA, would have been euthanased.
Later, while I was working for a large Pet Shop in Brisbane, I was still referring dogs to Ross. One of the most memorable examples was a very nice lady with two beautiful Staffy's. The dogs were litter mates (dog & bitch), around the year old mark. The problem was the dogs were fighting. They were tearing each other to pieces and not only each other, but any other dog they could get close to. The poor lady was at her wits end. I suggested that she take the dogs to obedience training but she told me she had already had them in training for quite sometime. In light of this I suggested she take these two dogs to Ross. Two weeks later the lady came in the shop with both dogs walking calmly on their choke chains, side by side and ignoring any other dogs in the area. She had come back in to thank me for referring her to Ross. She just couldn't believe that anyone could teach her to control these dogs so easily and quickly, and she had even rung the Animal Welfare Organization that she had been training with to tell them.
Ross's training is based on pack structure and I have never seen anything work as well on all kinds of dogs, from the very aggressive to the most timid. I have always held William Koehler in the upmost esteem but Ross Allan has surpassed that.

		Willow (Bawntawn Love Supreme CD) born: 23/7/01 Sire: Aust. G Ch Tullacrest Soul Mate Dam: Aust Ch Bawntawn Love Affair Highest score in CD 194. Owned and trained by Sheena Bassett, Emu Park, Queensland It is an honour and a privilege to endorse the work of Ross Allan. Over the past few years I have been extremely fortunate to receive first hand training and advice from Ross regarding the various problems my Border Collie presented me with. We have now gained our "Companion Dog" obedience title thanks to the Ross Allan training methods.The training techniques, knowledge and philosophy that can be learnt from this man are invaluable. To anyone that is serious about training their dog, read Ross Allan’s book, Basic Obedience Training, and heed his advice. It works! Sheena Bassett

My Dobermann, Ebony, was having problems with dog aggression. Her aggression was so serious we were asked to leave the trailing area on our first trial. After going to every instructor on the Sunshine Coast and getting all sorts of advice, one being “put her down, get a new dog and try again” - I found Ross Allan. Within 6 months of retraining the Ross Allan way Ebony had her “Companion Dog” Title. Within three trials, she attained a “third” place, a “second” place and her last leg a “first” placing. I am the proud owner of 4 Dobermanns, three of them trained by Ross Allan’s method. His book is a “must read”. Ebony is a loving companion with the best of manners.

Well Ross, we don't know how to thank you enough - you have contributed immensely to the greatest turnaround in dog behaviour that we have ever experienced and this was after only three lesson at Noosa. "Tiqui", our 11 month old Ridgeback, who 6 months ago was a screaming mess in the show ring, today had her first show at Redcliffe. She won her Class, then won Challenge Bitch, after that Best of Breed (25 points)..... and then Best in Hound Group!!! The crowd went wild, yelling and cheering, because they knew what she was like earlier on and were really happy to see this remarkable change in attitude. She stood very well for the examination and moved like a dream, in fact the judge came up later and remarked to our group, that she was the soundest dog he'd seen in a while. Our special thanks go to two of your students, Samantha Hazelgrove and Anne Sweres, who hearing of our problems refered us to you - and we agree, any dog can be turned around with the correct training!".

This year I was given 2 wonderful presents. The first was a surprise - a full breed Bristol American Pit Bull - the second was The Dog Obedience Training book by Ross Allan. The day I got 'Cross' is the day I started reading his book. In following his easy step by step process my 4 month old dog today is well behaved and totally trustworthy. His insight into the Canine world is truly remarkable. Any one who has a dog should read his book! Thanks Ross.

Royal Australian Air Force Police Dog training legend, Kev Saunders addressing a crowd at the Beerwah Sports Club, Queensland 24-9-00, pointed to Ross Allan and said. "This man is one of the best dog trainers the Royal Australian Air Force produced. He was a star in his time and you are very fortunate to have him as your trainer".

In every generation there are individuals who leave a lasting legacy. For Science it was Neil Armstrong (NASA), when in 1969 he was the first man to walk on the moon. Not forgetting the IT industry and Bill Gates (Founder Microsoft Corporation) who dominates world circles with trademark software packages. Even George Lucas (Film Director-Lucas Films) has etched a path in history with the Star Wars Sagas. A little known fact was while all these people were shaping our world, a Dog Handler with the RAAF Police Dog Mustering was leaving a legacy of his own that would never be surpassed, even to this day. That man is Ross Allan. In 1972 he was the RAAF's 'best of the best', he had no equal and the rest is now part of RAAF folklore.
Ross Allan is a real life Dr. Dolittle. Just like the Horse Whisperer, Ross Allan communicates with animals at a level that I cannot even start to comprehend. Words cannot describe this man's ability, it is nothing short of amazing. I trained diligently under Ross Allan for many years and it was only due to this long served apprenticeship I was accepted into the Australian Quarantine Inspection Service (AQIS) Detector Dog Unit and served in the capacity of Federal Detector Dog Handler.
As well as a RAAF Police Dog Handler, State Police Officer, and Animal Consultant and Trainer, Ross Allan has added International Author to his kudos. Ross Allan's book "Dog Obedience Training" has been Internationally distributed due to it's popularity. This man is truly remarkable and I am proud to call him my friend.
Congratulation Ross on your success and I look forward to your new product range.

Good day, My name is John Pinnell. I am a Horse Master and have been for over 50 years, working at my property at Jerrey Hills N.S.W. My wife, Fay, and I have always had dogs, treating them with love, but needing obedience from them. 
I also have a property at Eumundi, on the Sunshine Coast, Queensland, where my wife spends most of her time. She had recently purchased a Ridgeback cross bitch. From a puppy she was difficult to get any form of respect from, and had a real mind of her own. Fay heard of this fantastic dog trainer in the district, Ross Allan, and decided to attend his lessons. Within a very short time, with the help of Ross, our dog became obedient in lessons and a joy at home.
We have purchased Ross Allan's Book "Dog Obedience Training" and had found this book full of knowledge and very easy to follow. I've met Ross personally several times, discussing dog and horse training with him. I would recommend him and his book to all dog owners.
