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. 

Comprehensive Dog Obedience Training in Victoria

Alpha Boarding School For Dogs is committed to providing a comprehensive training regime that focuses on practical, real-world solutions. Our training programs are designed not just to teach dogs new commands but also to integrate effective behavioural habits that last a lifetime.

Our dog obedience training involves helping your dog learn to adapt to different surroundings and situations. For example, we expose your dog to other dogs, teach them to sit when distracted by chickens, and teach them to wait even though a door is open.

Whether it’s aggression, anxiety, or over-excitability, our team is equipped to handle and rehabilitate a variety of behaviours to ensure your dog can lead a healthy, sociable life.

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.
