This programme is the heart of what we do at Royvon; helping dogs to gain life skills and obedience to enable them to go anywhere with you and ultimately have more time with the family they love. Alongside our core obedience programme, this includes de-sensitising training, to help your dog gain confidence and feel calm in situations or environments they currently find challenging. Your dog comes to stay with us for three weeks, giving them the chance to focus on positive and enriching obedience training. Additionally, they have the chance to enjoy the secure dog hotel-style accommodation and round-the-clock care from our expert team.

Dogs that are anxious or reactive when they are unsure are all different and this programme ensures they receive the personalised care they need to progress. By spending time away from their family, your dog will create a strong bond with their trainer. This is essential for the programme success as our trainers will teach them from the beginning that rewards can be gained in abundance if they follow their lead. Your dog learns that paying attention is incredibly rewarding and fun, opening up the possibility to fully train them. More than this, your dog learns that when they are uncertain, they can trust their human and keep their focus on them. They will continue to receive rewards and the anxiety around a situation changes so they can relax and have fun.

When you come to collect your dog, the next phase begins. This involves your own training, teaching you to be the focal point of attention in every situation that they have learned to expect from their human while at Royvon. Your dedicated trainer will provide all the help you need to have the confidence to take your dog anywhere.
