Expert Giant Breed Dog Training Services by Pets Training and Boarding
Living with a giant breed dog like a Great Dane, Saint Bernard, or Bernese Mountain Dog is equal parts love, drooling and figuring out how to stop them from bowling over (and ruling) your family. These dogs are giant in size and even bigger in personality. That’s why we offer calm, consistent and no-fuss dog training designed for giant breeds.
At Pets Training and Boarding Australia, we focus on practical skills, better behaviour and building real trust between you and your furry family member. Whether you’re wrangling a cheeky pup or trying to get back control of a full-grown giant, we’ll help you get things back on track.

Our Giant Breed Dog Training Programs
Obedience training is essential for any dog, especially giant breeds. When your dog is the size of a small horse, pulling on the lead or ignoring a recall cue isn’t just annoying; it’s risky.
In our giant dog breed training programs, we cover the basics like sit, stay, drop and recall, plus focus on manners around people, other dogs, and distractions. It’s not just about following commands. It’s about building trust, improving your dog’s focus, and giving you both the confidence to handle any situation, at home or out and about.
Our Training for Giant Breed Dogs
At Pets Training and Boarding, we understand that every dog is unique. That’s why we offer various types of giant breed dog training to suit your furry family member, whether they’re young and excitable or older and set in their ways.
- Puppy training - For the bouncy babies who need help with the basics like sitting still, socialising and not eating your shoes
- Obedience training - Sit, stay, recall and walk nicely without dragging you through the park
- Behavioural training - For the barkers, diggers, chewers and anxious types who need a little extra support
- Aggressive dog training - Helping reactive or defensive dogs stay calm, focused and sociable
- Bite inhibition training - Teaching your giant dog to play gently and keep those chompers in check

Positive Reinforcement Techniques
We train using rewards, praise and consistency. That means no punishment, no harsh methods, and no shortcuts. Positive reinforcement works exceptionally well for giant breeds because it builds trust and keeps training stress-free. It’s about helping your dog make good choices, not forcing them into submission. It’s effective, ethical, and delivers results that last.

Dog Grooming for Giant Dog Breeds
Grooming a giant breed takes more than a brush and a bath. We offer professional dog grooming services tailored to giant dog breeds, including coat care, nail trimming, and gentle handling. It’s also a great way to support socialisation and help your dog get used to being touched and handled in a calm setting.
Customised Training Plans
Some dogs need more than a basic training course for giant dogs. If your furry companion has specific behavioural issues, such as pulling on the lead, jumping up, barking at everything, or reacting to other dogs, we’ll create a customised training plan that tackles those things head-on. We’ll work with you to set realistic goals and make steady progress for lasting results.
