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.
Boarding School (Also Called Doggy Bootcamp) Supporting Ballarat Pet Owners: Transformative Training Methods
If you want to go beyond problem-causing food reward methods, we can help to rehabilitate your dog into society. Our methods include Pattern Learning, Canine Cognitive Tonal Conditioning, and Reset Learning–designed to foster a deep understanding for the owner and improvement in your dog’s behaviour.
As a leading dog boarding school (also called a doggy bootcamp), we can work with Ballarat dog owners and offer a training environment that encourages dogs to learn and adapt to scenarios resembling their everyday life.
