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 Boarding and Training (Also Called Doggy Bootcamp) for Bendigo Pet Owners
Does your dog become angry if you go near their food? You require training for an aggressive dog.. Dealing with an aggressive dog can be challenging and distressing for owners, and we can help manage this with “Good Behaviour Shaping” skills at our boarding school (or doggy bootcamp) for Bendigo pet owners. This way, you can develop a new relationship with your dog.
Considering the dog’s history, triggers, and current environment, owners are educated on methods to maintain calm and assertive leadership. Through consistent training and support, we also help owners with the skills they need so their dogs are well-behaved post-training.

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.
