Gemma and Rosie's Story

When I brought home my first Malinois, Rosie (a rescue), I thought I had it all figured out:

  • Hire a trainer

  • Social classes

  • Visit dog parks

  • Enroll in daycare

  • Commit to daily walks and training

  • Buy all the gear—harness, leash, treats, bed
     

Happy ending, right?

Not even close.

Despite my best intentions, Rosie became anxious, reactive, and aggressive. What I didn’t realise then was that this challenge would lead me to become the trainer I am today.

Since then, I’ve helped thousands of dogs and their owners transform their lives using our proven training system—with lifetime support and guaranteed results.

Let’s do the same for you and your dog.

FAQ

1. “I’ve already spent so much on trainers. Why would this be any different?”

You're not alone—many of our clients come to us after trying other trainers with little to no success, or even worse - their dogs behaviour deteriorated during the process.
The difference here is that we use proven, real-world methods that get results - just take a look at our reviews. In as little as a 4 week board and train, we can transform your dog into an happy, obedient and loyal companion.
And we stand by our work: we offer FREE lifetime support from the moment your dog comes home - and that's a gurantee. If you follow the take-home program, attend the support group classes, and stick to the in-home management plan and don’t see lasting results, we’ll refund you. We’re that confident in our training program. Once you're a part of The Royal Canine Academy family, you'll never struggle alone again.

2. “I have a tough, restricted/large breed. Can you actually train my dog?”
Absolutely. We've worked successfully with everything from terrorist terriers to crazy working breeds. The idea that some dogs are simply “untrainable” is a myth—we tailor our approach to your unique dog and their needs.

 

3. “I’m not sure that a board and train will work, what if my dog stops listening to me when they come home?”
When dogs come home, there is a transition period - this depends on how long they've been badly behaved at home, lifestyle and adherance to the new plan etc. but this period is a week or two maximum. Our extensive, FREE lifetime support and guidance makes sure your dog continues to be the super duper well behaved angel you'll have seen in our video check-ins during the board and train. We're so confident in our training that we never, ever stop supporting you and your dog.

4. “Board and train programs are way too expensive”
Quality training is an investment—but it’s one that saves you time, money, and stress in the long run. Many of our clients have already spent more on ineffective methods and equipment that they never use. Our approach is not only efficient—it’s results-driven.

 

5. “I’ve tried everything. Nothing works.”
We hear this often. The truth is, most people have only tried a few generic techniques - but they've tried them over, and over again. Our system is personalised, practical, and focused on what works specifically for your dog. We're hands-on, practical trainers that teach dogs in a way they understand.

 

6. “My dog is just too badly behaved. My dog is too old too. I don’t think they can be trained.”
We’ve helped thousands of dogs who were labeled “hopeless.” The real issue isn’t your dog—it’s the method being used. Our job is to find what works for your situation, and we’re confident we can help. We've had dogs as old as 17 years training with us - successfully. No dog is ever too old to train.

 

7. “I don’t have time for an intensive training program.”
We get it—life is busy! That’s why our board and train program is designed to do the hard up-front work for you and complete it in as little as 4 weeks - meaning you have more time to enjoy your dog in your hard-earned free time. And we design a lifestyle plan that's specific to you and your dog, so that with just a few minutes a day and a management plan, you can keep up the huge changes your dog makes in the training.

8. “What if I need extra support?”
You're never on your own. We offer direct coaching in the form of FREE group classes for life, and ongoing phone/in-person and whatsapp support to make sure you feel confident every step of the way.

 

9. “What if this doesn’t work for me and my dog?”
If you follow the take-home program, attend the support group classes, and stick to the in-home management plan and don’t see lasting results, we’ll refund you. We’re that confident in our training program.

10. “Can’t I just figure this out myself?”
You could try—but how much more time and frustration are you willing to go through? Our board and train program creates the changes you've been struggling to achieve with your dog in as little as 4 weeks - so you can let go of all the stress and start enjoying your dog.

11. “How much is the board and train program, and do you offer tailored lengths of time?”
Our program starts at €850 for the first week, reducing by €100 each week down to €550. That's a total of €2,800 for our 4 week board and train. 
We offer tailored shorter/longer programs for specific needs or holiday plans! The cost is the same, €850 for the first week, reducing by €100 each week down to €550.
