Socalisation

Social skills are important for dogs living in our busy world. At Gymdog, group work and play therapy is part of our day care routine. Through regular day care you will see your dog grow in confidence and calmness and learn to cope with every situation whether in town, in traffic, at the park.

Life Coaching

Whether it’s a new puppy or a rescue dog, many dogs need to learn to be happy, calm and fear-free in the busy world of humans. At Gym Dog we work to ensure your dog becomes confident and well behaved around people and other dogs.

Customer Testimonials

When Archie first came to us as a rescue dog he was a nightmare! He had this fear-based aggression towards every other dog he met so that we couldn’t bring him for walks in comfort. Des the Vet told us “immersion” as he called it into the Day care routine would work and it did. After a few weeks of regular day care Archie lost his fear of other dogs. We can walk him around town now and he just wags his tail when he meets other dogs.

DAVE & TIM, NEWBRIDGE

Otis is a lovely Irish Terrier but around 6 months old he became very destructive at home digging up the garden and chewing fences. I have no rode bushes left! I bring him to day care now twice weekly at Gym Dog. Des and the team are great- they run the legs off him. Otis gets to play with other dogs. Even on wet days there he is in the Gym. I don’t even get time myself to go to the Gym but the dog goes.

My collie Max was nipping people we met, barking and trying to wrestle every other dog. I was afraid we were going to have to put him down. Des the Vet explained to me about working dogs and how they have different instincts to small house dogs. He had one on one sessions at GymDog and he did the day care to meet lots of people and other dogs. He got used to other dogs and people and got a lot better. Des said neutering would also help and it did. I still bring Max for day care once a week or so and the extra exercise and socialization he gets there definitely suits him.
