Have you been looking around for dog trainers who support Ballarat pet owners? Training over 10,000 dogs at our 20-day Course since 1996, Alpha Boarding School For Dogs is a Victorian based organisation that takes a practical, relevant, and realistic approach to address a wide range of canine needs, from anti-social to aggressive behaviour.
Going beyond food-reward methods, we specialise in transforming even the most challenging canine behaviours into positive outcomes through expert training techniques. Give us a call to explore our training program.
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 isn’t just about teaching your dog basic commands; it’s about fostering a deeper understanding and stronger relationship between you and your pet. From Reset Learning to Canine Cognitive Tonal Conditioning, we create effective and consistent learning outcomes for your pet!
We address various behavioural issues, such as excessive barking, aggression, and anxiety through proven methods that go beyond simple food reward systems.

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.

Aggressive Dog Training for Ballarat Dog Owners
Is your dog biting or growling when you go near their food? Aggressive behaviour in dogs can stem from fear, dominance or even past trauma. Our dog trainers are well-versed in identifying the triggers for aggression and implementing strategies to modify this behaviour safely.
After a comprehensive discussion to understand the root cause of the aggression, we work on behaviour adjustment, socialisation practices, and controlled exposure to various stimuli. The goal is to rehabilitate aggressive behaviour and transform it into positive social interactions.
