Dog in front, great success (6)

I believe the answer is:

bowwow

'dog' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'front great success' is the wordplay.
'front' becomes 'bow' (bow is a kind of front).
'great success' becomes 'wow' (I've seen this before).
'bow'+'wow'='BOWWOW'

'in' is the link.

(Another definition for bowwow that I've seen is " A dog for a child?".)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
