Good Boy Dog School is a registered Dog Training School, promoting the idea of responsible dog ownership, providing behavioural help and advice to people and families with dogs, giving some dogs a good start in life, and trying to improve the lives of dogs with behavioural problems.

Run by Dima Yeremenko, MSc, Russian Dog Training instructor and behaviourist, often called a Dog Whisperer, our school offers the whole range of services including one-to-one dog training and advice sessions, group dog training classes, home visits, residential training courses, taking care of your dog/s and minding services etc. With the use of our individual training methods and techniques forming dog's positive attitude, we are able to provide solution to most of your dog's needs and to resolve most of its problems in natural and most stimulating environment. Big part of our new recruits are those "difficult" dogs that have not been fortunate enough to establish stress-free, safe and enjoyable relationship with either owners or other people or animals. By providing both theoretical and practical help and assistance, we are improving lives of people's dogs starting as young as 8 weeks old to the age of some of our veteran - trainees at their 17 years of age. Old dogs do learn new tricks! But the most important for us - you do too.

Individual training sessions:

Most professionals involved with dogs have fabulous and extremely well behaved dogs. How did they get there, you’d ask? Years and years are spent achieving what works best and what is received with ease, so why not try and do it under supervision; after all, we can’t just naturally be good at everything. Dog ownership is a costly hobby, because it involves many skilled and specialist knowledge to give best and most satisfying results.

Booked individually, subject to availability, held in some parks and open spaces around North and North-West London, at times on busy roads or other dog gathering grounds etc. depending on client's wishes and requests; and are tailored to meet dog's specific needs.
