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. 

Expert Dog Obedience Training for Mornington Pet Owners

If you’re dealing with more severe behavioural issues such as aggression, anxiety, or excessive barking, our specialised behavioural training near Mornington offers the solution. Identifying the root causes of problematic behaviours, we create strategies to overcome them.

Deviating from the traditional treat-reward based method, we make use of the Pattern Learning Training Method and Canine Cognitive Tonal Conditioning to reshape undesirable behaviours with “good behaviour” skills.
