Akita Residential Dog Training
Akita’s originated in Japan and were proclaimed one of the national treasures by the government in 1931. This furry giant of a dog was historically bred to hunt wild boars, deer and bears. Therefore naturally, Akitas are competitive, fearless, and powerful dogs with many doting fans around the world. Akitas were first introduced in the UK in 1939, brought from USA and Kennel Club-registered since 1986. Many people love this breed because they are very affectionate and protective of their families. Akita’s have a dominant nature, so to form a strong bond with this majestic breed you need to show leadership and respect consistently.

Akita Dog Training Programme
Here at Royvon, we specialise in supporting Akita owners that are facing obedience challenges, misbehaviour, fear, reactivity and aggression. Over the years, we have trained many Akitas, and we strongly believe that to neutralise any unwanted behaviour you must have a strategy in place. Therefore, we offer you a tailored two-phase course for you and your Akita.
Phase 1 is an intensive on-site residential dog training stay that lasts three weeks. We will engage your dog in our training curriculum by employing the latest behaviour modification strategies and positive training methods. Training activities are scheduled for each dog every day of the visit, working with our specialists towards your dog training goals. Treating your furry friend with love and respect is our primary concern, so you can be sure you have left your Akita in good and experienced hands.
Phase 2 usually starts after the residential period ends. This part of training is equally, if not even more important than phase 1. In this phase, we will turn the focus of the training away from your dog and concentrate on you, the owner. For about three months after the residential stay, we will support the development of your own training skills, teach you leadership around dogs, and set you up for a lifetime of fulfilling Akita dog ownership.
Tested Akita Training Methods
With over 60 years of experience in the dog training business, we have developed unique obedience and behavioural management training concepts to maximise learning for Akitas. All the knowledge and skills gathered were passed down and developed over three family generations. Influenced by the latest scientific research and adapted through our experiences and time spent with our furry friends. In our time with dogs, we have grown to believe that a well-trained dog not only makes you happy as an owner but also makes a happy dog.
‘The Way You Treat Your Dog’ is our slogan perfectly defining our dog training approach. We are strong believers in positive reinforcement and condemn force and fear-based training methods. We treat your dog with respect and care; unlock the motivation by using treats, toys, and praise. We strategically engage in various daily activities and games to consistently stimulate your Akita physically and mentally. When training, our approach is aimed towards gradually increasing the level of difficulty by increasing the number of distractions that might take your dog off course, so it can get a chance to get used to the commands. These techniques have been tested and confirmed repeatedly, with countless reviews from happy dog owners.
What You Can Expect from Your Akita After Training
Our residential dog training is effective even on the naughtiest Akitas. You can expect your puppy to become obedient, non-aggressive and responsive to your commands. Once training is complete, your Akita will be able to carry out orders repeatedly, regardless of what environment you’re in. The dog will display successful recall wherever you are, allowing you to confidently release him from the lead. You will also be able to take your dog to more places as it will learn not to react to strangers and other dogs. We will work with your dog on sensation and focus to help them gain confidence and overcome fearfulness and insecurities. By working on desensitisation, we help Akitas become comfortable in their surroundings, and build trust with humans by teaching that focus brings rewards. You can expect your Akita to be a happy dog that is able to maintain focus on you – every time, and everywhere.
A Stay at Our Luxurious Dog Hotel
During phase 1 of residential Akita training, your dog will be staying in our Luxurious Dog Hotel facilities. When it’s not training time, we like to allow our furry giants to relax and socialise with other dogs when appropriate. Our award-winning accommodation for dogs is a great place for your Akita to decompress after a busy training day. Our sites are fully licensed and employed with an experienced team available on-site 24 hours a day to accommodate your dog’s needs.
You can remain confident that your Akita is in safe hands because our staff is fully trained in dog first aid, so all health issues will be noticed quickly and sorted by our local vet if required. In addition, the staff will keep you in a loop on WhatsApp sending you daily updates on their training progress and achievements. This then acts as a great learning resource for phase 2 after the residential training period is finished.
Our facilities are super safe and secure areas, with CCTV and ANPR. Only registered guests that have access IDs are allowed to enter the site.
Akita Dog Training
Our number one priority is always to help you have a happy, well-behaved Akita that the whole family can enjoy! We’ll adapt your Akitas’ reactions, emotions and modify their behaviour so you can have a trusting and loving relationship with them.
If you want to avoid embarrassing behaviour and feel like you can’t take your dog anywhere, because you are afraid, they might act out. Don’t hesitate to get in touch. We can discuss how can we approach the training of your Akita, and arrange an assessment, so you can talk directly with the trainer.
For Akitas that are not yet ready for a residential training program, we offer single 1-2-1 sessions with a trainer, teaching you the basics of our training. Whatever your training goals are for our Akita, get in touch and we can discuss the right option for your furry giant.
