Behaviour Training

Understand the behaviour. Build a clearer way forward.

Individual behaviour training for dogs with established concerns, difficult everyday patterns or behaviours that are making life harder for the dog or owner. We begin by understanding the dog and the situation, then work directly with the dog through Day Training or Boarding Training before transferring the training back to the owner.

Assessment → dog training → owner lessons → everyday maintenance

First we teach the dog. Then we teach the owner.

How Behaviour Training works

A complete process from understanding the problem to transferring the training back home.

  1. 01

    Assess

    We meet the dog, observe the behaviour and build the training direction.

  2. 02

    Train the dog

    The dog works directly with us through Day Training or Boarding Training.

  3. 03

    Teach the owner

    After the dog’s training period, we transfer the routines and methods through theoretical and practical owner lessons.

  4. 04

    Maintain

    The owner continues the established guidance and routines consistently in everyday life.

01 · Start here

First Behaviour Assessment

400 kr · 60 minutes

+ applicable travel fee where relevant

Every Behaviour Training case begins with a First Behaviour Assessment. Before deciding how to train the behaviour, we need to understand the dog in front of us — the behaviour itself, what happens around it, the dog’s everyday routine, environment, responses, and the owner’s main concerns.

We meet your dog, observe patterns and triggers, discuss severity and goals, and look at communication between dog and owner. This helps us begin forming an individual training direction.

After the assessment, we discuss whether Day Training or Boarding Training is the more suitable practical format and estimate how much direct training time may be needed. The duration may be adjusted as we learn more; an assessment cannot promise an exact result or always establish the exact number of days immediately.

Understand the individual

Observation before decisions

We meet your dog, observe patterns and triggers, discuss severity and goals, and look at communication between dog and owner. This helps us begin forming an individual training direction.

Individual understanding

Training starts with understanding how the individual dog responds, learns, and communicates.

02 · Mysa trains the dog

Choose how your dog trains with us

The training itself is carried out directly by Mysa. The main difference is whether your dog returns home each evening or stays with us throughout the programme.

Both formats involve Mysa working directly with the dog. The main practical difference is whether the dog goes home between training days.

Day Training

800–1,000 kr / day

Focused daytime training — your dog returns home after each training day.

During Day Training, your dog spends the day with us for structured behaviour training and returns home afterwards. We observe the dog, work directly with the behaviour, repeat exercises and routines, test responses in appropriate situations, and adjust our approach based on what we observe.

Unlike a single home visit, Day Training gives us meaningful time with the dog itself. This helps us understand patterns more accurately and carry out the repeated work needed for behaviour change.

Day Training is suitable when intensive direct work is needed but the dog can continue returning home between training days. It is a separate training service from ordinary Dog Day Care.

The owner normally arranges the journey home. Evening return by Mysa costs an additional travel fee according to distance.

Boarding Training

Standard rate

1,200 kr / day

Intensive behaviour training with your dog staying with us throughout the programme.

Our standard Boarding Training rate is 1,200 kr per day. The programme length is discussed after the First Behaviour Assessment based on the individual dog, behaviour, training needs and the amount of repetition required.

Cases involving significantly greater training intensity, handling risk or safety management may have a higher daily rate.

During Boarding Training, your dog stays with us while we work directly with the behaviour throughout everyday routines. Because the dog remains with us between sessions, we can keep the environment, expectations, communication and reinforcement more consistent across the training period.

This gives us more opportunities to observe patterns, repeat the training, adjust our approach and strengthen new routines before the dog returns home.

Day Training and Boarding Training share the same core principle: Mysa works directly with the dog. Day Training dogs go home each evening; Boarding Training dogs stay with us day and night throughout the programme.

Time to build and strengthen new routines

Boarding Training normally follows a 7-, 14- or 21-day programme. We discuss a suitable length after the First Behaviour Assessment, based on your dog, the behaviour, training needs and the repetition required. Programme lengths do not guarantee identical results for every dog.

Each lesson lasts 60 minutes. Travel fee may apply to home visits depending on location. Severe or higher-risk behaviour cases may have a higher individually quoted rate. Any adjusted rate is discussed and confirmed after the First Behaviour Assessment, before a programme is booked.

After your dog’s training

A written handover to bring home

At the end of Day Training or Boarding Training, the written handover summarises what your dog has learned, the routines used during training, handling guidance and important points for maintaining the training. The theoretical lesson gives us time to explain this information in detail and answer questions. The document is a reference; it does not replace the owner lessons.

After your dog’s training

Now we teach you.

Once your dog has completed Day Training or Boarding Training with us, the next step is teaching you how to understand and maintain the routines, communication and expectations your dog has been practising. We strongly recommend both owner lessons after the direct training period.

Owner learning

Theoretical Home Visit Lesson

1,000 kr / 60 minutes

+ applicable travel fee

Understand the training your dog has already completed before reproducing it at home.

The theoretical lesson explains what your dog learned during direct training with Mysa and how the established training should continue at home.

We go through the routines, communication, expectations and reinforcement used with your dog, including what to continue rewarding and which owner responses could unintentionally bring old patterns back.

This lesson is about understanding the training system before trying to reproduce it yourself. There is time for questions and for making sure everyone in the household uses the same guidance.

What you will learn
  • What was trained and which routines were established
  • Communication, expectations, boundaries and reinforcement
  • What to keep rewarding and responses that may revive old patterns
  • Management, common mistakes and relevant everyday situations
  • Consistent guidance from everyone in the household

Owner practice

Practical Home Visit Lesson

1,000 kr / 60 minutes

+ applicable travel fee

Apply the established training with your dog while we observe and coach you.

During the practical lesson, you apply the routines your dog has already learned while we observe and coach.

We look at timing, handling, communication, reinforcement and how you respond in the situations that matter for your dog. We demonstrate where useful and help you adjust your technique.

The goal is not to train the dog from the beginning during this lesson. Your dog has already completed the direct training phase. The goal is for you to reproduce and maintain the same guidance correctly.

What you will learn
  • Timing and reinforcement of established responses
  • Handling, leash technique and body position
  • Consistent communication and expectations
  • Applying the learned routines in relevant everyday situations
  • Recognising and correcting your own handling mistakes
Highly recommended together

Why we recommend both

A dog can learn a new routine with us, but if the owner communicates differently afterwards, the behaviour may become inconsistent again. The owner-transfer lessons are designed to reduce that gap.

First we explain the system. Then we watch you apply it. Understanding what to do and being able to do it correctly are different skills.

TheoryUnderstand what your dog learnedPracticeLearn how to maintain itDog and owner working with the same system

Both lessons are optional and can be booked separately. Together, the lesson fees are 2,000 kr, excluding travel, unless theory is included in your 21-day Boarding programme.

We normally recommend completing the theoretical lesson before the practical lesson so that the owner already understands the training structure before practising it hands-on. The order can be adapted to the individual case, and the lessons do not need to take place on the same day.

    Everyday routines

Once the dog’s direct training and the owner-transfer lessons are complete, the formal training programme is complete. From that point, daily consistency and maintenance become the owner’s responsibility.

The routines established during training need to continue in everyday life. Long-term maintenance depends on continuing the same guidance consistently after the programme.

New behaviour concerns or further hands-on training require a new booking or discussion with Mysa.

If you have a question about the training you completed with us, you are always welcome to message or call. Advice by message or phone remains free.

After your training

Two ways to stay in touch

After your dog's training programme is complete, you can continue maintaining the established routines at home. If you would like additional support, we offer two different options depending on what you need.

Both services are optional. Completing the training programme does not require recurring walks or review visits.

Training Maintenance Walk

350 kr / walk

Keeping good progress on track

For previous training clients who feel things are going well and want occasional individual walks, progress observations and useful updates.

Mysa walks your dog and shares relevant feedback. An intensive training consultation is not needed.

Request a Maintenance Walk

Post-Training Review Visit

700 kr / 60 minutes

When something needs a closer look

For owners who want an in-person review of an issue, clarification of the training, practical adjustments or help deciding the next step.

Mysa observes the relevant situation together with you, with more detailed discussion and practical adjustment.

Request a Review Visit

Post-Training Support

Training Maintenance Walk

350 kr / walk

A familiar walk. A little extra support for keeping progress on track.

After your dog has completed Behaviour Training with us, you may wish to keep occasional contact with Mysa as part of maintaining the routines and progress established during training.

During a Training Maintenance Walk, we take your dog for an individual walk, observe how they respond in familiar everyday situations, and pay attention to the behaviours previously worked on during training.

We can share observations and practical suggestions afterwards, helping you understand how your dog is progressing and whether anything may need additional attention.

This service is intended for owners who feel that training is generally progressing well, but would appreciate occasional professional observation and continued familiarity with Mysa.

It is not a new intensive training session or a replacement for the owner's daily maintenance.

What we may observe during a walk
  • Leash walking and walking pace
  • Response to guidance and attention to the handler
  • Excitement levels and responses to relevant environmental distractions
  • Ability to settle or disengage when appropriate
  • Previously trained walking routines
  • Behaviour around dogs or people when encountered safely and naturally
  • General consistency with the established training

We observe what occurs safely and naturally during the walk. We do not deliberately expose your dog to risky triggers, and a walk is not a full assessment or a service for resolving significant behaviour problems.

A frequency that suits you

Some owners prefer a walk every two weeks, while others may prefer monthly or occasional visits. There is no fixed schedule or required frequency.

How often you book is entirely up to you and depends on how your dog is progressing and how much continued contact you would find useful. Another frequency can be agreed individually, subject to availability.

A short update after the walk

After the walk, we can share a short update about how your dog responded and highlight anything useful to keep in mind.

  • Areas that appear to be progressing well
  • Changes noticed since previous visits
  • Reminders about previously established routines
  • Small suggestions for continued consistency
  • Whether a more detailed review may be worthwhile

This is a brief, practical update rather than an extensive written training report after every walk.

Optional follow-up

Need us to take another look?

Post-Training Review Visit

700 kr / 60 minutes

Progress check & adjustment

After the formal training programme is complete, some owners want us to come back and see how things are progressing in everyday life.

A review visit is useful if something is no longer working as expected, a behaviour has noticeably regressed, you are unsure about part of the training, you would like us to observe your handling and the dog together, or you are wondering whether the dog is ready for the next step.

During the visit, we observe the current situation, answer questions, clarify the training where needed, make small adjustments, and help you decide how to continue from where you are now.

Available later, after the dog’s training and owner-transfer lessons, once you have been practising at home. It is optional and does not replace the theoretical or practical owner lesson, an initial assessment or a full training programme.

You may want to book a review visit if…
  • You are unsure whether you are applying part of the training correctly.
  • A behaviour has improved but has reached a plateau.
  • Something has changed at home and you are unsure how to adapt the routine.
  • You want us to observe the dog and owner together again.
  • You are unsure whether the dog is ready for a more difficult next step.
  • You want practical clarification rather than advice by message or phone.
  • You want us to adjust part of the training based on the dog’s current progress.
Request a Review Visit

Who can book a Post-Training Review Visit?

This service is available to owners whose dog has completed a Behaviour Training programme with Mysa, including Day Training or Boarding Training.

It is intended for follow-up on the same training case. A completely new or unrelated behaviour concern may require a new assessment or separate training plan.

For behaviours that need more reinforcement

Some behaviours need more repetition, consistency and gradual progression over time. For these cases, we may recommend a Review Visit once or twice per month during the maintenance period.

This is not a fixed requirement. The frequency depends entirely on the dog’s progress, the behaviour being worked on and how confident the owner feels continuing the training at home.

Behaviour Training terms

Behaviour Training booking & payment

Boarding Training payment

To confirm a Boarding Training programme and reserve the agreed training period, 50% of the total programme fee is paid in advance.

The remaining 50% is paid when the Boarding Training period is completed.

The programme length and final price are confirmed after the First Behaviour Assessment.

Assessment & owner lessons

No advance payment is required for the First Behaviour Assessment or individual owner-transfer lessons.

Payment is made after the assessment or owner lesson is completed.

If you need to cancel or reschedule, please contact us as soon as possible.

Bringing the progress home

Once your dog has completed Day Training or Boarding Training with us, the next step is teaching you how to understand and maintain the routines, communication and expectations your dog has been practising. We strongly recommend both owner lessons after the direct training period.

Owner lessons, travel & written handover

After the 7- and 14-day programmes, we highly recommend one theoretical and one practical Home Visit lesson, each priced at 1,000 kr for 60 minutes. Neither is included. The 21-day programme includes one theoretical Home Visit lesson (value 1,000 kr) without an additional lesson fee. A separate practical Home Visit lesson at 1,000 kr for 60 minutes is still highly recommended and is not included. Travel fees may apply depending on location.

Travel fees may apply to home visits depending on location, including the theoretical lesson included in the 21-day programme. Any applicable travel fee is agreed separately.

At the end of Day Training or Boarding Training, the written handover summarises what your dog has learned, the routines used during training, handling guidance and important points for maintaining the training. The theoretical lesson gives us time to explain this information in detail and answer questions. The document is a reference; it does not replace the owner lessons.

Then, keep the routines going

Maintain

Once the dog’s direct training and the owner-transfer lessons are complete, the formal training programme is complete. From that point, daily consistency and maintenance become the owner’s responsibility.

The routines established during training need to continue in everyday life. Long-term maintenance depends on continuing the same guidance consistently after the programme.

New behaviour concerns or further hands-on training require a new booking or discussion with Mysa.

Maintaining progress

The routines established during training need to continue in everyday life. Long-term maintenance depends on continuing the same guidance consistently after the programme.

Boarding Training cancellation

Because 50% of the Boarding Training programme fee is paid in advance to reserve the training period, the following cancellation terms apply:

  1. More than 48 hours before the Boarding Training start time

    The full advance payment is refunded.

  2. Within 48 hours of the Boarding Training start time

    A cancellation fee equal to 10% of the total programme price applies. The remainder of the advance payment is refunded.

Please contact us as soon as possible if plans change.

These booking terms apply subject to applicable mandatory consumer law.

Special enquiries

Private tailored training

Not every training goal fits a standard behaviour programme. For specific training goals, advanced individual requirements or working-dog training, we can discuss a tailored training plan based on the individual dog and the intended outcome.

We also welcome enquiries about other individual training goals that do not fit our standard programmes. Send a short description of what you would like to train, together with information about your dog, and we can discuss whether the request is suitable and what an individual plan could look like.

Individual quote

Because tailored and working-dog training depend on the individual dog, the task and the training goal, pricing is provided individually after discussing the request.

Working-dog training

Working-dog training is highly individual. Before confirming a training plan, we need to understand the intended work or task and evaluate the individual dog.

What we consider
  • Training goal
  • Breed
  • Age
  • Temperament
  • Motivation
  • Current skill level
  • Previous training
  • Physical and behavioural suitability for the intended work

Based on the individual dog, we discuss whether the requested goal appears realistic, what training approach would be appropriate, and how far the training may reasonably progress.

Training questions

Behaviour Training FAQ

From the first assessment to everyday maintenance.

Behaviour Training

How much does Boarding Training cost?

Our standard Boarding Training rate is 1,200 kr per day. Cases involving severe behaviour, bite risk, significant reactivity or substantially greater handling and safety requirements may have a higher individually quoted rate. Any adjusted rate is discussed and confirmed after the First Behaviour Assessment before the programme is booked.

How does Behaviour Training work?

Behaviour Training begins with a First Behaviour Assessment. Afterwards, we discuss Day Training or Boarding Training and estimate the direct training time your dog may need. Mysa then trains the dog directly. After that period, we strongly recommend theoretical and practical owner lessons to transfer the training into everyday life.

Can I book only a Home Visit to solve a behaviour problem?

Our behaviour programme is based on spending meaningful time observing and training the dog directly. Home visit lessons take place after Day Training or Boarding Training to transfer established routines to the owner. They are not a standalone programme for an existing behaviour problem.

What is the difference between Day Training and Boarding Training?

In both formats, Mysa works directly with the dog. With Day Training, the dog returns home after each training day. With Boarding Training, the dog stays with us day and night throughout the programme, allowing a more continuous training environment.

How many Day Training days will my dog need?

Day Training has no fixed packages. The recommended number of days is discussed individually after the First Behaviour Assessment and may be adjusted depending on your dog’s progress and needs. It costs 800–1,000 kr per day. Ordinary Dog Day Care is a separate care service.

How long is Boarding Training?

Boarding Training is normally structured around 7-, 14- or 21-day programmes. A suitable length is discussed after assessment and depends on the dog, behaviour and repetition needed. A programme length is not a guarantee of a particular result.

Why do owners need lessons after the dog has been trained?

Dog and owner need to use the same communication and routines. Your dog first learns the new structure with us. Afterwards, theory explains what has been established, and practice helps you apply it correctly with your dog. The written handover is a reference and does not replace these lessons.

Are both owner lessons required?

They are optional and can be booked separately, but we highly recommend both. Understanding the system and applying it correctly are different skills. Each lesson is 1,000 kr / 60 minutes, plus applicable travel. Theory is included in the 21-day Boarding programme; practice is not.

What happens after the owner lessons?

Once direct dog training and owner-transfer lessons are complete, the formal programme ends and daily maintenance becomes the owner’s responsibility. Keep the established routines and guidance consistent. New concerns or further hands-on training require a new booking or discussion.

What if I need help after the training programme is finished?

You are always welcome to message or call us with questions about the training you completed with Mysa, and advice by message or phone is free. If you would like us to visit in person to observe progress, clarify something, make an adjustment or help decide whether the dog is ready for the next step, you can book a Post-Training Review Visit for 700 kr / 60 minutes.

How often should I book a Review Visit?

There is no required schedule. Many owners do not need regular visits. For behaviours that need more intensive reinforcement or gradual progression, we may recommend a Review Visit once or twice per month. The frequency depends on the dog’s progress and how confident the owner feels continuing the training.

Can I use a Review Visit for a new behaviour problem?

A Review Visit is intended for follow-up on a training case already completed with Mysa. A new or unrelated behaviour concern may require a new First Behaviour Assessment.

Which owner lessons are included after Boarding Training?

After the 7- and 14-day programmes, we highly recommend one theoretical and one practical Home Visit lesson, each priced at 1,000 kr for 60 minutes. Neither is included. The 21-day programme includes one theoretical Home Visit lesson (value 1,000 kr) without an additional lesson fee. A separate practical Home Visit lesson at 1,000 kr for 60 minutes is still highly recommended and is not included. Travel fees may apply depending on location.

Special Training

Do you offer working-dog training?

Yes, we can consider individual working-dog training requests. Suitability and the training plan depend on the intended task, breed, age, temperament, motivation, current ability and previous training. Contact us directly so we can review the individual dog and training goal.

How much does tailored or working-dog training cost?

Pricing is individual because the training plan depends on the dog and the requested goal. Contact us with information about your dog and what you would like to train, and we can discuss the next step and provide a quote where appropriate.

Dog Training

Start by understanding your dog

Every new Behaviour Training case begins with a First Behaviour Assessment (400 kr / 60 minutes, plus any applicable travel fee). Training format and duration are discussed after assessment.
