Train Like the Legends, Win Like a Champion

I’m Christophe Clugston, the K9 King, with 51 years of dog training across three continents. Mentored by Disney’s Bill Koehler (1974–1978) and Karl Miller, inspired by Lee Duncan (Rin Tin Tin’s trainer), and proven with Tier 1 war dogs, my Merge Method delivers unmatched results. My dogs, like Akuma with his two-month-trained switch limp, outperform the Walmart, Ford level trainers like Cabral or Beckman. No one dared my $50,000 K9 King Challenge.

Here is a Pro Tip to cures what Others Consider to be a Training Problem.

One Huge Difference:

Signals vs Language

Signals NOT Semantics

Using something better

Why Trust the K9 King?

Mentored by Bill Koehler, head trainer for Walt Disney Studio, and Karl Miller, who trained alongside Robert R. Weatherwax (Lassie’s legacy). Inspired by Lee Duncan’s meticulous work with Rin Tin Tin. Trained Tier 1 military dogs with data-driven precision, eliminating guesswork. As a world-contender fighter with 75 fights, my discipline sets me apart from “guru” trainers who falsely claim fighting expertise. My Merge Method blends Hollywood precision with Tier 1 reliability for dogs that shine in movies or missions.

Escape McDoggo Quick Fixes

Unlike popular trainers pushing microwave results, my Merge Method takes time for lasting excellence. It took two months to train Akuma’s switch limp—a feat no McDoggo can match. Whether you’re a film studio, Tier 1 handler, or serious trainer, my thorough process, rooted in Koehler, Duncan, and Tier 1 tactics, delivers dogs ready for the spotlight or the battlefield.

Signal Speak Alpha–Signal Speak Bravo

Answer this: can you communicate with a traffic light?

The reality is that it can give you information via a signal, but you can't talk about politics, philosophy, film or art with a traffic light.

This is the hard cold fact with Human and Canine. Dogs are not learning languages. They are learning signals.

Auditory signals which is what verbal commands are–have to be divorced from what you think a human language is.

For example: Many dog trainers tell their clients to use English and English only with their dogs. This hackneyed idea is not in your best interests or your dogs. You see, I have not talked to one linguist (I mean academic) who agrees that using two or more languages with canines creates confusion.

Here's a fact that you need to accept: There is no language between primates and canines.

There are just SIGNALS..

As a expert in linguistics (graduate degree and academically published) I can tell you that the confusion is that humans, especially monolinguals, want to project their life via language (i.e. semantics and idiosyncratic speech) onto canines.

It's wrong.

And it's time to change things.

And this is where Signal Speak Alpha (the primary way canines can learn with humans) and Signal Speak Bravo (the best way for humans to use the secondary system)

Just as there has been an improvement in the general dog training world by using better operant and respondent training methods (which were used way back in the 40s if you know your history) there needs to be a revolution in signal clarity training.

The cold, hard truth of that matter is that it takes a rare expert who knows phonotactics, phonology and canine behavioral ecology–otherwise you'll have as much improvement as a trick trainer trying to improve sled dogs' performances.

The following video describes part of the problem and its solution. I have worked extremely hard to vastly improve SIGNAL CLARITY TRAINING

Merge Method Dog Training

You may have never heard of the Merge Method–and to tell you the truth, outside of some very elite circles there is no way that you could have heard about it.

So let's take the cover off this mysterious box and peer inside to find out exactly what is Merge Method Dog Training and how it absolutely can help you and your dog achieve your REAL WORLD goals. To see how powerful this training is take a look at the Jedi Dog Master Challenge. No other Dog Training Method and Trainer have been able to meet this challenge.
