My ex was Norwegian, I went there as an ignorant Brit and for some reason the whole "language barrier with dogs" thing broke me 

On the plus side, i know at least as much Norwegian as a dog does!

Flink gutt! (flink = skilled, but doing something well is good)
or
God gutt! (I like to say this without the space between - "Gogutt")

Would use "flink" if they did something earning praise, and gogutt just for the sake of praising or admiring.

Good boy! in Swedish : "Duktig pojke!"

"You are such a good boy!" = "Du är en så duktig pojke!"
