Why train my dog?
Learning to train your dog is an important investment into their well-being and the quality of your relationship. Here are some reasons why dog training is crucial!
Responsible Pet Ownership
In a densely populated city like Singapore, basic obedience training skills such as sit, stay, recall, leash-walking and settling become essential to ensuring your dog is happy, safe, and doesn’t become a nuisance to others or a source of stress for everyone. Skills such as learning not to bark excessively, being comfortable being left at home alone, and socialising well with humans and dogs are vital to raising an adaptable, confident, and well-behaved companion in multiple situations. A well-behaved dog is more likely to be accepted in public spaces, and have positive interactions with other dogs and people.
Enrichment and Mental Stimulation
As dogs are intelligent creatures that thrive on challenges, dog training activities engages their minds, minimising boredom and destructive behaviours. Training can also encourage problem-solving skills in dogs, equipping them with the ability to adapt better to different situations to become more capable companions.
Bonding with your Dog
Rewards-based dog training enhances communication between you and your dog. It strengthens the bond and creates a mutual understanding, fostering a relationship built on trust and companionship. Positive training can even help you understand your dog’s behaviour better, and allow you to provide the best care for your beloved pup!
Preventing Behaviour Problems
Early dog training and behavioural modification can help serious and persistent behaviour problems from developing. It is important to address issues such as reactivity, aggression, separation anxiety, fear, excessive barking and toilet training as soon as possible, to avoid the need for more training and greater intervention later on.
We're with you!
We are committed to a safe and collaborative environment to benefit pets and people alike! We focus on implementing a rewards-based approach to address behavioural concerns in a gentle and ethical way. No fear, force or rough handling included 🙂
FAQs on Dog Training
What services does your dog training facility in Singapore offer?
Our dog training facility
in Singapore offers a range of services, including personalized day training, behavior modification, puppy training, and fitness programs. For those who prefer a hands-off approach, our day training program is a great alternative to board and train. Owners can leave their dogs with us for 8 sessions, with the last session dedicated to skills transfer. This ensures that owners are equipped with the necessary skill set to continue progressing with their dog at home, leading to lasting results in obedience, behavior, and overall well-being.
If you’re looking for more information on how to choose the right training school, be sure to check out our guide to dog training in Singapore.
What is the best age to start puppy training classes?
The best age to start puppy training in Singapore is typically around 8 to 12 weeks, when puppies are most receptive to learning. Our puppy training classes focus on essential skills such as socialization, obedience, and potty training, ensuring your puppy gets off to a great start.
Does your day training address separation anxiety?
Yes, our day training program is an excellent alternative to dog daycare, especially for dogs dealing with separation anxiety, which can be quite complex. Our certified trainers use proven methods to help dogs build confidence, reduce anxiety, and adapt to being away from their owners.
For more comprehensive support, we recommend our Separation Anxiety Training Guide and considering the option to engage a CSAT specialist to treat separation anxiety.
How much does dog training cost in Singapore?
The cost of dog training in Singapore can vary widely due to the absence of standardized regulations, typically ranging from $50 to $1,000. Our breakdown is based on an analysis of the dog training industry worldwide, with common training costs including:
- Puppy Classes: $500 to $1,200 per program
- Behavior Modification: $180 to $500 per session
- Group Classes: $80 to $150 per session
- Fitness and Conditioning: $180 to $300 per session
At our facility, our day training costs $90 per session or $150 per session with additional enrichment. Each program includes a skills transfer session at the end, equipping you with the tools to continue your dog’s progress at home.
How many training sessions does it take to train a dog?
The number of training sessions varies for each dog based on factors such as age, temperament, and specific learning goals. For basic obedience, dogs typically benefit from a series of 6 to 8 sessions, while behavior modification may require additional time.
Our dog training school in Singapore packages day training in sessions of 8, which provides sufficient time for dogs to establish foundational skills. This allows us to effectively transfer the skillset to owners, empowering them to continue progressing to more difficult skills with their dogs.
Check out our dog training school guide to equip yourself with the information required to make the best decision for your dog.
How to potty train my dog?
Potty training requires consistency and patience. First, choose whether to train your dog indoors or outdoors. We recommend establishing a routine and rewarding your dog for going in the correct spot. Remember, don’t punish your dog
for accidents; this is counterproductive and may lead them to pee behind your back, making it harder to modify the behavior later. When accidents happen, be sure to remove any scent to prevent repeat incidents.
Our dog training facility in Singapore offers personalized guidance to help you navigate this process smoothly. For further details, check out our potty training guide.
Are you a doggy daycare?
Not exactly—we focus predominantly on training. While we’re not a traditional doggy daycare, we ensure your dog’s basic needs are met and exceeded. This includes enrichment, care, and socialization, so your pup enjoys all the benefits of a daycare environment while also learning valuable skills.
What sets us apart is our commitment to expertise and safety. Our trainers have extensive experience in group housing operations, and we maintain a maximum handler-to-dog ratio of 1-to-5. This ensures every dog receives attentive care and a safe, enriching experience.
Whether it’s training, care, or play, your pup is in expert hands with us! And whether you choose a traditional daycare or our training program, it’s important to carefully consider what the facility provides. We’ve written a detailed article on the key considerations when sending your dog to a daycare or similar program. We highly recommend you check out the article before committing your dog into the hands of others! 😊
What makes your dog training school a good alternative to dog daycare?
Our dog training school in Singapore offers more than just care during the day. While dog daycare provides play and supervision, we focus on structured learning with our skilled staff members who understand dog body language and have a deep understanding of dog-to-dog social interactions.
We help your dog develop important obedience skills, overcome behavior challenges, and stay physically fit. It’s a great way to combine enrichment with training, ensuring your dog comes home happy and well-behaved.
Do you offer board and train services for dogs?
While we do not offer traditional board and train services for dogs in Singapore, our day training program serves as an excellent alternative. This immersive training option allows your dog to stay with us during the day, receiving consistent, hands-on training tailored to their needs. It’s ideal for dogs requiring intensive behavioral work or for owners with busy schedules who still want their dogs to benefit from structured learning.
Can you help with dog obedience training?
Absolutely! Our dog obedience training programs are designed to help dogs of all ages and breeds learn key cues and improve their behaviour. Whether you’re looking for basic obedience or more advanced skills, our certified trainers in Singapore provide the guidance needed to equip owners with the skills necessary to progress to more advanced training.
