Welcome to GOOD DOG - LEVEL 1 where your dog can learn all the skills necessary to thrive with their human families. Whilst dogs have been bred to live with us for many, many years we can’t discount the fact they were once wild scavengers and still enjoy hobbies like bin raiding, people drag racing and legging it after squirrels!

Dogs don’t come knowing the key skills needed to be a Good Boy or Girl and just like young children, they need teachers to show them the way.

In GOOD DOG - LEVEL 1 we start to teach your dog how to be the goodest boy or girl your family could wish for including:

• Sitting and staying when asked
• Settling and chilling when asked
• Coming back even when there are squirrels
• Walking with the person on the end of the lead, and not pulling them like the huskies they saw on the Christmas advert on the Telly Box
• Being the best and fastest dog at fetch in the dog park
• Leaving stuff when their person says, even when it's the tastiest snack in the hands of a human puppy
• Listening to your every word
• Doing simple tricks to prove to your neighbours and friends they really are the goodest boy or girl in town

Of course, this will require a little effort from you too. Like any parent, showing your dog the way is the key to your dog graduating from the Good Dog level 1 class. In this class we have squished lessons into short 5 minute daily sessions Monday - Friday. Commit to just 5 minutes a day and marvel at the results.

Who are we...

Academy Dog Training is a one stop school for dogs which was set up in 2009.

We offer everything from 121’s, classes and workshops. We can provide these services both on, and offline. Additionally we provide group classes including but not limited to Trick Training, Agility, Flyball, Scent Training and Canine First Aid.

Each of our trainers has a slightly different style but none of them consider using pain or fear to train a pet dog, this is an ethical choice. Instead we use motivational techniques which include using markers, toys, food and fun to train your dog.

We physically have our school in Rathmullan, County Donegal, Ireland but we can work with you no matter where you live. In the present climate we would recommend our online solutions, which have successfully trained dogs all over the world.

With the online options you can train at anytime form the comfort of your own home. The Team are available to contact personally Monday – Friday 9am – 5pm (GMT).

If you’re interested in finding an online solution, browse the website for our online courses. Or check our Facebook page for recommendations.
