Dog Boot Camp For Dog Obedience Training
Please note that all Board and Dog Training spots for the Christmas Period (20th of Dec till the 16th of January 2025) are fully booked. We are currently fully booked till the 16th of January.
All New Board and Training packages available below. We now conduct our Board and Training packages to Lyndhurst Lodge Pet Resort.

If you don’t have the time to train your dog, why not let our trainers do it for you? Offering an alternative to weekly dog obedience classes, our doggy boot camp in Melbourne involves in-depth training as well as follow-up services from an experienced dog obedience trainer.
At Eastern Companion Dog Training, we aim to eliminate behavioural problems and bad habits while your dog stays with us as well as training all your normal obedience commands. Whether you’re going away on holiday or you simply lack the time to train your dog, our dog obedience boot camp enables us to drastically improve the behaviour of your four-legged friend through frequent dog obedience classes.
Our trainers are fully trained experts who use up-to-date and gentle training methods, capable of achieving results in a very short period of time. When your dog returns home from dog boot camp, it should be able to understand the commands it has been taught. However, it’s important for the owner to continue training at home by walking and handling the dog regularly. Through this, you’ll be encouraging your dog to continue exhibiting the learnt behaviours.
Dog Behaviour Boot Camp Back-up Support
With all of our packages we can provide additional support after our dog boarding school, our trainers offer owners the choice of one of the following:
- In home lesson after hand over
This back-up support can be arranged at an additional cost with the 14, 21 and 28 day programs we offer and is provided to help you maintain the training your dog receives. Some owners fail to continue the work our trainers put in, causing their dog to return to old behaviours and habits. Having a trainer come to your home after you have done the doggy boot camp can greatly improve your ability to hold onto the results achieved in the doggy boot camp.
What Will My Dog Learn In Dog Boot Camp?
Our dog boot camp in Melbourne teaches dogs the following:
- How to walk beside the owner on a loose lead (to heel)
- How to walk on a loose lead without having to walk beside the owner
- How to sit on command
- How to drop (lie down) on command
- How to return to the owner upon command
- (The training can vary depending on your dog’s requirements. No two dogs will be trained the same based on your individual dog’s needs)
This dog obedience training is conducted on a lead, but it shouldn’t take long for the dog to be able to respond to these commands while off lead as well with some continued training.
In addition, our dog boot camp in Melbourne can assist to correct a variety of behavioural problems and bad habits, including jumping up, nipping, and others. We can also tackle serious behavioural problems such as dog-to-dog or dog-to-human aggression.
