Real Training. Real Results. Right Here in Geelong.
We bring expert dog training straight to your home in Geelong and the Surf Coast. Whether you’ve got a playful puppy, a dog with problem behaviours, or serious aggression concerns, we’re here to help.
Our training is built on positive, science-based behaviour therapy — no harsh tools, no false quick-fix gimmicks. Every lesson is tailored to your dog, your family, and your goals.
And here’s the difference: we train you as well as your dog. That way, you’ll know exactly how to guide them with confidence every day.
At GoodBoy, we know every dog — and every family — is different.
That’s why our training is built on behaviour therapy, not one-size-fits-all obedience.
GoodBoy is proudly owner-operated by Benjamin McGill, an internationally recognised behaviour specialist. Born and raised in Australia, Ben spent 17 years in the U.S. helping families solve everything from puppy manners to the toughest aggression cases. Now back home in Geelong, he’s bringing world-class training to Aussie families.
👉 Our lessons aren’t false quick-fix gimmicks. We work with you and your dog together, giving you the skills and confidence to continue progress long after each session.
