Gone to the Dogs
Dog Training and Behaviour Centre
Our philosophy
At our Ballyclare-based training and behavioural centre, we pride ourselves on offering an unmatched, full-service experience for you and your dog.
From our successful, structured Doggy Daycare to our interactive workshops, socialisation classes, and convenient shop, we cover all your canine care needs under one expert roof.
We don't just mind dogs—we understand them.
As behaviour and training specialists, we focus on transforming your dog's daily life through targeted socialisation, building confidence in nervous or reactive dogs, mastering lead walking, and reliable recall.
Best of all, our dogs enjoy exclusive access to our secure, five-acre private field, allowing them to play, learn, and run freely and safely off-lead. Trust your pet with the local experts who put safety, education, and happiness first.

Donna's journey began nine years ago when she opened a pet shop in Ballyclare. Driven by a desire to offer more hands-on services, Donna expanded into dog walking and pet sitting, which ultimately led to the establishment of her own dedicated property.
