Your dog will stay in the home of a certified trainer, where they will receive individual attention, structured training sessions, ample exercise, and enrichment activities. This immersive environment allows for focused training sessions that reinforce positive behaviours and reshape undesirable ones.

How it works
Discover our step-by-step approach to start your dog's tale
Initial Phone Consultation
We begin with a comprehensive consultation to understand your dog's history, behaviour, and your training goals. This helps us design a program that aligns with your expectations and your dog’s requirements.
Personalised Training Plan
Based on the consultation, our trainers develop a customised training plan. This plan outlines the specific techniques and strategies we will use, ensuring that every aspect of your dog’s training is tailored to their unique situation.
Board and Train
Your dog will stay with us in a safe and nurturing environment where they will receive one-on-one training sessions. Our positive reinforcement methods ensure that your dog learns in a stress-free and enjoyable way.
Progress Updates
Throughout the program, we provide regular updates on your dog’s progress. This includes detailed reports and videos so you can see the improvements and understand the training process.
Transfer Sessions
At the end of the training period, we conduct transfer sessions to teach you how to maintain and reinforce your dog’s new behaviours at home. We ensure that you feel confident and equipped to continue the training.
Follow-Up Support
Our commitment to your dog’s success doesn’t end when the program does. We offer lifetime support to address any questions or challenges that may arise after your dog returns home.
