Residential Dog Training for Labradors
Labradors are celebrated for their joyful disposition and unwavering friendliness, making them one of the most cherished dog breeds worldwide.
Residential Boxer Dog Training Programme

Boxer dogs are excellent pets for families. Their energetic, happy-go-lucky personality and clownish behaviour provide entertainment for all ages. A loyal companion, Boxers thrive in receiving love and attention from everyone they meet and are incredibly child friendly. They adore meeting other dogs while exercising, which they need a lot of, and they’re delightful to watch as their playful side emerges. Boxers are highly intelligent and perfectly trainable once you’ve found the right way to reward them and overcome their stubborn nature.
Renowned for their intelligence and eagerness to please, Labradors thrive when their natural talents are nurtured through effective training. At Royvon, we recognise the importance of bringing out their best qualities while minimising unwanted behaviours, guiding your Labrador to become a well-behaved companion and a responsible member of your family.

Allow Your Labrador to Grow with Positive-Reinforcement Training
Positive reinforcement proves highly effective for Labradors, capitalising on their natural responsiveness to treats, praise, and play. This method allows us to tailor training specifically to your Labrador’s unique personality, age, and temperament, ensuring the most beneficial outcomes with lasting results. This motivation strategy encourages them and strengthens the bond between you and your pet.
Labradors, with their keen intelligence and amiable nature, respond exceptionally well to positive reinforcement training. By focusing on positive rewards rather than punishment, we foster a loving and cooperative environment, inspiring your Labrador to learn and thrive. This positive approach guarantees effective learning and a happy, well-adjusted Labrador, ready to become an even more integral part of your family.


Why Train Your Labrador?
Labradors, famed for their friendly nature, may nonetheless cultivate unwelcome habits without proper training. Engaging in structured training ensures they mature into well-behaved companions, accentuating their inherent traits such as friendliness, compliance, and versatility.
Such training reinforces their congenial qualities and equips them with the skills necessary to behave in diverse settings, making them exemplary household members. Embracing training is pivotal for nurturing their natural potential and fostering a harmonious coexistence.
Training Your Labrador Puppy
Training your Labrador puppy from a young age is paramount. Labradors are inherently keen to learn, making early training not only possible but highly beneficial. This period is ideal for instilling obedience, with puppies being particularly receptive to commands.
Establishing clear communication and boundaries early on sets the foundation for a well-behaved adult dog. It’s crucial to foster a strong, positive relationship between you and your pup, ensuring they grow into sociable, confident, and well-mannered companions. Starting training early leverages your Labrador’s natural disposition, ensuring they achieve their full potential.


What To Expect From Our Training?
When you sign up for our residential training programmes, available at our Esher and Merthyr Tydfil locations, you get a holistic approach meticulously designed to cater to your dog’s individual needs.
Within our well-structured and nurturing environment, your dog will have access to various activities such as socialisation with other dogs, obedience training, exercise in nature and, most importantly, daily training to resolve any particular behavioural concerns.
Through our comprehensive curriculum, your dog will learn to navigate social interactions gracefully, adhere to commands with eagerness, and confidently overcome triggering challenges. You’ll have the peace of mind that comes from knowing your beloved companion is developing in a supportive, enriching setting under the guidance of our expert dog trainers.
Royvon’s residential training offers the unique advantage of personalised attention from our professionals, ensuring the training is closely aligned with your pet’s personality and requirements.
Decades of Working with Labradors Force-Free
Over the years, we’ve perfected our force-free, positive reinforcement training techniques, ensuring they’re effective for Labradors and their owners alike. Our decades-long commitment to these strategies has repeatedly shown that compassion and patience yield the most remarkable results in dog training.
Employing force in training undermines the trust between a dog and its owner and can also exacerbate behavioural issues, leading to fear, anxiety, and even aggression. Our experience has solidified our commitment to force-free methods, recognising the detrimental effects of harsh techniques on a dog’s mental well-being. Forceful behaviour fails to address the underlying causes of undesirable actions, instilling fear rather than understanding.
Our force-free approach, rooted in kindness and understanding, significantly boosts learning, sharpens response accuracy, and reinforces behaviour recall. By rewarding desired actions, we encourage the repetition of these positive behaviours, making training a stress-free experience which builds a strong foundation for a lifetime of mutual respect and cooperation.

Especially Tilly, Millie and Ella who looked after my German Shepherd Ralphy. It was so clear to see how loving, caring and attentive you all were with him … it truly made a difference.
When I got home, he was relaxed, happy and clearly well looked after. It’s a huge comfort knowing he’s in such good hands.
Thank you again for all the love you gave him.
I love getting the daily photo updates and seeing him playing with his friends. It’s such a relief knowing he’s in a safe and stimulating environment while I’m at work.
Highly recommend to any dog parent looking for peace of mind and a tired, happy dog at the end of the day!
Olive has just completed her three weeks intense training and it’s like we’ve brought home a different dog. Not only is she calmer in the house, but we can now walk her without her being petrified of every noise and person that comes near her. She’s even just walked the school run with me.
Romeo and the team at Royvon have been a godsend to us, and we can’t wait to see how much further they can help Olive grow into a much loved happy and confident family pet.
I found royvon by sheer chance and it’s changing our lives. The staff were from the very first contact to his stays now so comforting and reassuring, seeing my obvious nerves about Hunters behaviour Chloe especially gave me all the time in the world, listening to my ever ending knowledge dump about hunter, why’s he’s like this, triggers, how once he’s settled he’s lovely and since the day of his confidence stay i’ve not looked back. dropping him off to strangers which is absolutely my worst fear with a reactive dog and they set such an energy he’s excited to leave me and settles in so happily. I get regular updates of how he is, what he’s doing, anything they want to tell me and it is just the best thing to open my phone to. i get photos and videos of walks and play, updates on his eating.
from someone who suffers constantly stress of a dog with behavioural issues, this is the absolute best care i’ve had for him hands down. i can’t thank the Esher team enough, especially his main handler chloe for the time and patience they give us
We’ve had the pleasure of working with Romeo to train our dog, Rio. From the very first session, Romeo demonstrated not only incredible knowledge and professionalism but also a deep understanding of canine behaviour and a true love for dogs.
Romeo’s approach is both compassionate and effective. He tailored each session to Rio’s specific needs and personality, and the progress we’ve seen has been amazing. Whether it was basic obedience, leash training, or managing some of Rio’s more challenging behaviours, Romeo provided clear guidance and practical techniques that actually work.
We’ve seen a huge improvement in Rio’s behaviour and confidence, and we now feel much more confident as dog owners too. If you’re looking for a knowledgeable, kind, and truly dedicated dog trainer, Romeo is the one. Thank you, Romeo, for everything you’ve done for Rio.
When we went back for our top up session, Orphy was super excited to drive through the gates and could not wait to get out of the car! We did about an hour with Charlie, going over techniques to keep Orphy interested and help us with her ongoing training while she’s at home. The refresher appointments are a nice touch and definitely worthwhile!
We absolutely recommend Royvon and are so grateful to have found them!
I chose Royvon for dog training because they specifically told me they use positive reinforcement methods, which is incredibly important to me. However, my experience was completely at odds with what they claimed.
When I arrived, one of the first things they suggested was putting a grot (prong) collar on my dog – something I never would have agreed to had I known that was part of their approach. Despite my hesitation, they eventually fitted it and proceeded to “train” him by pulling him around and choking him. There was nothing positive or kind about the methods I witnessed.
I had planned to board my dog here for three weeks of training, but after seeing how they handled him in just one session, I cancelled immediately. I honestly dread to think what three weeks of that kind of treatment would have done to my dog.
Please be mindful when trusting companies that say they use positive reinforcement – unfortunately, in my experience, this was not the case with Royvon.
We want to say a huge thank you to Romeo, Kelsey, and the entire care team at Royvon. You took amazing care of Buddy, giving daily updates of his training sessions and group plays, which really helped to put our minds at ease. Buddy has built a lovely bond with Romeo and the team, and I’m sure he will look forward to any day plays there in the future.
Jasper was extremely reactive to just about everything, including people, dogs and traffic.
Through a lot of hard work, we have made so much progress with Romeo and Kelsey. They have really gone above and beyond to try and make him more manageable, and what a difference it’s made.
He is still reactive, mainly to dogs, but he can do so much more now. As with any German Shepherd puppy, we still have lots of work to do, but we believe we now have the tools to succeed thanks to Royvon.
We will still be coming back as Jasper has built a stone bond with both of his trainers, but we thoroughly recommend Royvon for anyone struggling with a difficult dog, or just a dog that needs training!
The choice of services available makes boarding here a seamless home away from home experience for our Labrador, Dune. The staff are friendly, welcoming and professional and our dog is always very well looked after. The daily updates and photos alongside Royvon's insta posts give us the confidence to leave our furry family member in their capable hands.
When we are away, we appreciate all the photos and comments about Dexter’s day! We are using you again next month! Thank you!
Dogs and their owners get a warm, professional welcome from Ioana &. Joanna, and our dog has a packed day being looked after by Leanne’s wonderful team of kind, experienced canine carers.
The whole team is a credit to Royvon’s owners, we feel lucky to have them as our trusted home from home for a special member of our family!
Richard, her evaluator, has been wonderful with her, gave us plenty of feed back and we had a report and lots of pictures as well. Our dog had clearly bonded with Richard already and we feel much happier about leaving her for longer next time. Thank you for caring for Jumika as well as you did, it really showed!
We were experiencing difficulties when walking both dogs on the lead and both had become protective, reactive and nervous of other people and sometimes dogs, making our walks difficult and stressful.
Well what can I say, the improvement we have seen in both dogs is brilliant, they are more confident and focused now and their reactivity levels have dropped significantly. We have some additional 1:1 training sessions to complete over the next few weeks to ensure that we can keep up the training.
During the training programme, Romeo and Kelsey sent us video updates of the dog’s progress, enabling us to see how they were getting on and responding to the training. This was invaluable to us.
In addition, the team at Royvon took really good care of both dogs and we received reports on how they were settling in/getting on during their group playtime and time spent in kennels, plus daily photo updates.
I wouldn’t hesitate to board our dogs at Royvon again, we were very happy with the dogs care.
Thank you to Romeo, Kelsey and the rest of the team at Royvon!
