We had such a furry fun year of Doggy Day Out as we combed the island for scenic yet suitable places for our doggos and puppers to exercise their paws and noses. We can’t wait for 2024 for more Doggy Day Out adventures! #doggydayout #dogouting #dogwalk #packwalk #k9kampong
Hope your long weekend is as fun as ours! For doggy day out today, we took the doggies out to town to enjoy the sights and smells of Orchard Road and soak in the Christmas atmosphere 🐶🎄❤️

To help Nikki overcome her dog reactivity issues, we took her on a relaxing walk, on a long line, to help her decompress.
Then with a combination of positive engagement techniques, we were able to lessen the intensity of the reactivity to a large degree.
Nikki was eventually able to check back with her humans instead of lunging forward. We were even able to wait for the ride home with her relaxing in a down position.
We are so proud of you, Nikki!

Toby’s humans love bringing him around in the Buddyrider. But alas, their dreams were dampened because of his incessant barking.
Today, Toby’s humans got to understand the reason for his barking and work on intervention strategies to treat the unwanted behaviour.
With some redirection techniques, Toby was very quick to exhibit more desirable outcomes.
Look at the smiles on everyone’s faces! Yes, we are thrilled that Buddyrider rides will no longer be stressful or embarrassing, and we look forward to more relaxing and enjoyable rides for Toby and his family.

We start every group obedience course with teaching our doggy humans how to get their dog’s attention.
Dogs have powerful noses so we want to activate their noses to get them interested to learn. Using food is one of a few motivators we introduce in our training programmes.
In this short clip, Associate Trainer Kimberly demonstrates this beautifully with her sidekick @mindy.thepooch!

Engaging with your dog is so important especially when you have a large dog. Once you are interesting and rewarding enough, your dog will surely be motivated to look to you for direction and walk with you.
This morning, we explored all kinds of motivators to connect with Le Blanc and this gorgeous Swiss Shepherd was quick to impress! Looking forward to more sessions of learning fun where we work towards leveling up on reliability 😊

If your puppy is suddenly afraid of something he sees everyday, he’s probably going through the fear phase. To help Teddy overcome his fear of this huge teddy bear that sits in front of the lift leading to his home, we enlisted the help of his buddy Mindy the Cockapoo and the tastiest treats. Fifteen minutes later, Teddy was afraid no more! Yay to positive associations !

Pickles lunges and barks at his neighbour who blades outside his house regularly. With the right intervention strategies, Pickles learns that staying calmly with his human is way more rewarding. Yay to reward-based training!

It’s all about engaging with your puppy and finding the right communication tools to build stronger relationships.
In this vid, Associate Trainer Kimberly explores different, exciting noises to get Forrest’s attention and YES, this clever puppy made the right decision to come back to her instead of pulling towards passers-by.
So go forth and find out what sounds your dog responds to. Kissy noise? Clucking noise? Whistle? Have fun discovering!😃

Muzzle conditioning with Pepe
The key to successful muzzle training is helping your dog choose to wear and take off the muzzle on his own accord.
Pepe’s training was so successful that he has learnt to love the muzzle a little too much. His nose was always buried deep into the muzzle in hopes of getting more yummy treats and he was not keen to take it off.
It was important for us to teach Pepe that there was no need to guard the muzzle by initiating a trade with a tasty, high value treat.

We encountered this cute busybody while training with Magnus the Singapore Special yesterday. Good boy Magnus for staying focused in the face of distraction!
