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. 

Our Boarding School for Dogs (Also Called Doggy Bootcamp) – Geelong Pet Owners Welcome

Our training philosophy at Alpha Boarding School For Dogs  transcends traditional treat-based methods. Instead, we are focusing on a deeper understanding of dog psychology. 

We employ techniques like the Pattern Learning Training Method and Canine Cognitive Tonal Conditioning to correct behaviours from the root. Our trainers address aggression, fear, and over-excitability in anenvironment developed for dog training and rehabilitation.

Whether you need training for aggressive dogs n or reliable obedience training, our professional staff seek to improve your pet’s behaviour, at home and everywhere else.

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.
