Dogs and people can live together in a happy and positive relationship. But your dog needs to understand the rules of the house and requires boundaries to help them live in harmony within your environment.


That's how I came across Viking Dog Training. I got my poodle puppy in December 2012 and quickly realised that I needed help in training. So I got in touch with Marianne Hovde, owner of Viking Dog Training.

I wanted a trainer who could come to me, on the Northside of Brisbane and help Rocket and I to work together as a team. I needed an expert in puppy training and Marianne was a delight to work with. Rocket adored her.

Marianne taught both Rocket and I about impulse control training, positive rewards for preferred behaviour and many simple fun recall games that Rocket absolutely loved. Engaging Marianne was the best decision I made for training my new puppy. Rocket enjoyed the rewards based training and Marianne was so good with getting his attention. She helped me to learn the right cues when working with Rocket.

Viking Dog Training specialises in the following:

Dog Boarding and Training Service
Viking Dog Training now specialise in boarding and training your dog. This is a great opportunity to have your dog stay with Marianne for an agreed period of time, where she will work with your dog to train them.

Dog boarding and training is one of the fastest ways to train a dog, and it is a great solutions for owners who are going away or are time poor.

The dog stays with Marianne in her home and she treats them like one of her own dogs. Your dog would sleep in a crate at night or one of the spare rooms that have been specially set up for this boarding purpose.

Boarded dogs are put on the same raw meat diet that Marianne feeds her own dogs. However, if your dog has a sensitive stomach or food allergies, you can bring their food along so that they do not get an upset tummy during their stay.

The dog will learn general good manners, basic obedience, such as walking on a loose leash, coming when called, crate training, house manners and impulse control.

All training is positive reward based and the dogs love it.

Marianne takes a pragmatic approach and advises that there is no restriction on breed that can participate in boarding and training. However, not every dog will be suitable for boarding and training. For example, some dogs are very fearful, they may have separation anxiety, or other such issues. It is best to discuss your particular dog's needs with Marianne to make an informed decision.

This is a specialty service and high demand, so make sure you touch base with Marianne to see if she can fit your four-legged friend in.

Costs
Training sessions are $90 for one hour. However, there are multiple training packages available.

Boarding and Training costs are best discussed with Marianne to ensure your dog meets the criteria.

Prices are available at Viking Dog Training website.
