Over 20 years of studying wolf behaviour from within the pack

Shaun Ellis hasn’t just watched wolves from a distance!

Star of “The Wolfman” and “Mr & Mrs Wolf”, Shaun has an exceptional bond with dogs and wolves, and his passion to understand these remarkable animals has compelled him not only to fully integrate with captive wolf packs but also to be accepted by and live amongst a totally wild wolf pack. During this time Shaun has accumulated an in-depth knowledge.

He and his team at The Wolf Centre not only offer a variety of magical experiences but also a range of specially designed dog courses focusing on Shaun's perspective with regard to dog psychology, dog training and dog behaviour.

Shaun believes that to really understand how your dog thinks, you need to apply some general principles of wolf psychology and behaviour and look at what we term “the wild side of your dog." Find Out More

Between Two Worlds...

Even today, Shaun maintains a fundamental role within his captive wolf packs. By studying their behaviour from within Shaun lives between two worlds - the human world and that of the wolf.

His passion and courage enables each and every one of us to achieve a greater understanding of the balance and beauty of nature and opens our mind to consider the conservation of species worldwide. Find Out More
