Is your dog more anxious than usual, or constantly barking at people? If you’re searching for a boarding school for your dog (also known as a doggy bootcamp), we offer a program that both teaches reliable obedience and addresses behavioural issues through effective, proven methods.
From on-lead training to off-lead training, our 20-day course is run by experienced trainers skilled in Canine Cognitive Tonal Conditioning and the Pattern Learning Training Method, and we have continually refined our approach since 1996.
This course forms a great foundation for developing a new relationship between you and your dog. Specialising in comprehensive training designed to foster a healthy, responsive, and happy dog, we go beyond simplistic reward-based techniques to address deeper behavioural challenges such as aggression, anxiety, and over-excitability.
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.
