Training Saves Lives

We

believe

that

training

saves

dogs'

lives.

To

quote

Dr

Ian

Dunbar,

one

of

the

most

prominent

dog

trainers

and

behaviorists

in

the

world,

"Without

training,

the

life

of

a

puppy

is

predictable:

chewing,

soiling

the

house,

digging

up

the

garden,

followed

by

a

trip

to

the

shelter

where,

if

it's

lucky,

it

gets

another

try.

Without

training,

that

dog

will

be

dead

in

less

than

a

year."

A

trained

and

well-behaved

dog

is

a

joy

to

have

around!!

We

believe

that

all

dogs

can

be

trained,

given

a

chance;

they

will

be

your

ever

faithful

companion.

A Dog Is For Life

A

dog

is

for

life

-

your

life

or

his…

Whoever

goes

first…

Behavioral

issues

should

not

be

a

reason

to

give

up

the

dog! We will help you to solve the problems!

Methods Of Training

Dog

training

is

not

a

‘one-size

fits

all’

thing.

We

will

continuously

assess

the

dogs

as

the

training

goes

on

and

we

will

modify

the

training

slightly

to

ensure

effective

training.

We

are

‘Balanced

Trainers’

and

we

will

utilise

all

four

quadrants

of

Operant

Conditioning.

While

we

strive

to

adhere

to

the

LIMA

(Least

Intrusive

Minimally

Aversive)

and

the

Humane

Hierarchy,

we

wish

to

establish

clear

communication,

develop

a

well-rounded

skill

set,

and

prepare

dogs

for

real-world

scenarios

at

the

same

time.

We

use

Positive

Methods

but

do

not

agree

to

the

‘Purely

Positive’

style

of

training.

We

are

strongly

opposed

to

cruel

or

unnecessarily

harsh

training

methods

and

we

note

that

it

is

a

fine

line

between

discipline

and

abuse

and

as

such,

we

feel

that

it

is

important

to

educate

dog

owners

properly

instead

of

simply

believing

everything

you

read

online.

We

seek

to

prevent

the

abuses

and

potential

repercussions

of

inappropriate,

poorly

applied,

and

inhumane

uses

of

punishment

and

of

overly-restrictive

management

and

confinement strategies.

Professional Courtesy

Anyone

can

call

themselves

a

dog

trainer

or

dog

behaviorist

nowadays.

Some

are

certified

by

certain

organizations,

some

are

given

upon

payment

of

certain

monies,

some

are

conferred

upon

completion

of

a

short

course,

some

are

based

on

experience

and

some

just

felt

that

the

title

gives

them

certain

prestige.

If

that

is

what

other

people

want

to

call

themselves,

go

ahead!

We

feel

that

it

is

rude

and

unprofessional

to

comment

on

other

trainers

and/or

their

methods.

We

prefer

to

let

the

results

speak

for

themselves.

Adoption

We

encourage

adoption

-

which

is

why

we

extend

a

discount

off

course

fees

for

our

Basic

Obedience

Course

to

all

Singapore

Specials

(local

mixed

breed

without

any

resemblances

to

a

pedigree

breed)

and

all

dogs

with

an

adoption

letter

from

an

animal

shelter

or

animal

welfare

group.

If

you

are

referred

from

one

of

the

shelter

groups

which

regularly

works

with

us,

do

make

a

note

on

the

Registration

Form

and

we

will

make

a

small

donation

to

the

shelter

upon

receipt

of

your

course

fees

-

just

our

way

of

giving back to society.

Affordable Course Fees

Being

once

in

your

shoes

while

looking

around

for

a

dog

obedience

trainer,

we

know

that

the

costs

of

having

a

new

member

in

the

family

can

already

be

daunting.

As

such,

we

aim

to

keep

prices

low

-

not

because

we

want

to

undercut

the

competition

or

to

spoil

the

market,

not

because

we

are

not

qualified

trainers,

not

because

we

offer

sub-standard

training,

not

because

we

are

only

‘worth

so

much’..

But

because

we

want

to

make

a

difference

to

you

and

your

dog’s lives!!

Transparency We believe in transparency. All price lists for services offered can be found on our website. We will also present our training methodology and equipment to the class on Lesson 1. We are here to help you train your dogs - not to sell training equipment. If we feel that it might benefit you to utilise certain equipment, we will simply recommend that you use it. Whether you use it or where you purchase it from would be at your discretion. Breed Discrimination We do not discriminate against any breed of dogs. We believe that all dogs can be trained, given a chance; they will be your ever faithful companion.
