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 (Also Known as Doggy Bootcamp) – Mornington Pet Owners Welcome!

Countering food reward issues with Canine Good Behaviour Shaping, Reset Learning and the Patterning Learning Training Method, our system achieves effective outcomes in real-life scenarios. 

From training for aggressive dogs to socialisation skills, our comprehensive program is designed to meet the unique needs of each canine. Initially, our expert dog behaviourist trainers assess each dog to focus  on areas such as obedience, aggression management, and proper social behaviours.

With practical exercises, dogs enrolled in our program learn to navigate real-life situations under guided supervision, so they return home as well-behaved members of the family.

These dogs are waiting to be invited through the gate. Once individually invited they come through on command. 

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.
