The trainers here are working boarding school dogs within close proximity to their own dogs who are all in off lead drop stay. These boarding school dogs all began their courses with different behaviours issues & goals. Ranging from fear based aggression, anxiety around new people and dogs, aggressive behaviour towards other dogs on lead, to over excitement and uncontrollable behaviour when there was something more interesting to do than listen to their owners. 

Dog Obedience Training for Bendigo Pet Owners

From the Pattern Learning Training Method to Reset Learning or the Reinforcement Contrast Effect, our trainers conduct an assessment to understand your dog’s behaviour and personality. Next, a customised training program is developed.

Our training covers everything from reliable commands–sit, stay, and come–to more advanced training to correct behaviours such as excessive barking or jumping up. Our dog obedience training focuses on the commands and teaches your dog to listen and respond under various distractions. Our manners training will help with non-obedience situations where better control is needed – even off-lead.

“Every interaction with your dog is important so the methods used to teach them must be practical, positive and relevant to all real-life scenarios”.

Dog Behaviourist Training for  Bendigo Pet Owners

Dealing with a more challenging behaviour such as barking all night or food-related aggression? When training aggressive dogs, we help to rehabilitate complex behaviours such as aggression and excessive fear. 

Our training of aggressive dogs involves controlled exposure to stimuli and systematic desensitisation, gradually helping your dog adjust to what previously triggered their aggressiveness. With a 3-hour hand-back session at the end of your course, we help you feel confident and equipped to improve your dog post-training.

These dogs are waiting to be invited through the gate. Once individually invited they come through on command. 

We train your dogs to be responsive and reliable under realistic distraction and then demonstrate their new skills and good behaviour in your scheduled three hour handback session!

All training is practical and effective and you will learn to train your dog using relevant methods that actually work, hands-on and in real-time.

We will teach you practical skillsets that we will clearly demonstrate to be relevant to any behavioural issues affecting your dog. It is these skills that will allow you to teach your dog to learn to learn and to learn to listen to you at home, not to just us here at the training kennels.
