If you’re looking for lasting behaviour change, not just short-term fixes, our Board and Train Programs are the perfect solution. Your dog stays with our professional trainers, learning through structured daily sessions, socialisation, and balanced routines — while you receive the tools and knowledge to keep progress going at home.
Some call it “Train & Stay”, others “Doggy Bootcamp” but essentially Board & Train is a highly effective Dog Training service whereby your Dog stays with us for a set period while we train him/ her with the end goal of improving behaviour – whether mild or extreme dog behaviours are present.
Does Your Dog Struggle With These Issues?
If your dog struggles with jumping, pulling on lead, barking, destructive behaviour, bolting, guarding, or unpredictable reactions, our trainers will rebuild confidence and teach calm, consistent habits.
At Good Dog Training, we do more than teach obedience — we help you and your dog understand each other. What makes us different?
While we have proven frameworks, every program is tailored to your dog’s needs and your lifestyle.
No training will work if it isn’t realistic for your daily life.
Every dog is unique, so every plan is unique. Our goal is to create balance, trust, and lasting results — that work for you and your dog.
