Programmes

Three ways to
work together.

Every programme delivered in your home, one to one. No classrooms. No group distractions. Just you, your dog, and the method.

15-min consult available before you commit. Tell me about your dog — I'll recommend honestly, no pressure.

Priced at the top of the market because the method teaches you. No ongoing lessons, no monthly retainers — once the sessions end, you have the skills for your dog's whole life. One trainer — limited slots each week.

What's inside a package

Four sessions.
One transformation.

The same four-session structure for puppies and grown dogs. The principles don't change with age — only the pace. I only move forward when each session's objectives are achieved.

Session 1

Foundation

Overview and assessment of your dog. Problem-solving for the specific issue you booked for. Foundation training for everything that follows.

Session 2

Heel Work

Follow-up from Session 1 to reinforce what's working. Introduce heel work and auto-sits — the bedrock of a calm walk.

Session 3

Stay & Recall

Follow-up from Session 2. Build sit and down into implied stay positions. Introduce recall.

Session 4

Off-Leash

Follow-up from Session 3. Advance to off-leash recall and training — the skills that let you walk your dog anywhere, anytime.

The method

Three things shape
every trained dog.

The method works the same on a young puppy and a grown dog. On a working breed or a family pet. Because it's not really about the dog.

The Owner

You're the one your dog sees every day. If you don't learn the method, nothing sticks. That's why I train you, not just your dog.

The Gear

The right collar and lead mean the difference between fighting your dog and communicating with them. Consistent gear is part of consistent training.

See the gear & prices

The Dog

Every breed, every temperament, every age — they all respond to the same principles, once the owner and the gear are right.

At your dog's pace.

6 months to complete your package

Each package is valid for 6 months from your first session. I only move forward when the dog is ready — and many clients finish within 2 to 3 months.

WhatsApp support between sessions

Message me during working hours (Mon-Sun, 9am-5pm) about anything related to your training. Replies typically within a day. You're never left figuring it out alone.

Upgrade within 3 months

Start with a single consultation? If you upgrade to a package within 3 months, your S$250 is credited (one-time) toward the package price.

Island-wide in Singapore

HDB flats, condos, landed properties. Your flat, your corridor, your lift, your park. Training happens where the problems happen.

What to expect

Your first session.

Every first session follows roughly the same shape. Here's what to expect so you can show up ready.

Before sessions start — a conversation

The first 10-15 minutes are just a chat. I want to understand your dog, your home, your routine, and what's been frustrating you. No training yet. Honest answers beat polite ones — this is where the whole session gets its direction.

Observation — watching your dog (and you)

I observe your dog in their own space. How they react to me. How they react to you. How they move through the home. Often the cause of the problem reveals itself in the first 5 minutes — in the dog's body language, or in a habit you didn't realise you had.

The first fix

I address the main issue you came for. This usually happens within the first 30 minutes of active work — and it almost always involves teaching you something, not just working with the dog. Expect to hold the lead, learn the technique, and try it yourself while I coach.

Foundation training

Once the main issue is addressed, I introduce the foundation work — the principles underneath every future session. Heel position, attention, calm energy. Small moments you can repeat every day between sessions.

What to practice this week

Before I leave, you'll know exactly what to work on before the next session. Usually 10-15 minutes a day of deliberate practice. No elaborate drills. Real moments, real corrections, real consistency.

How to prepare

Have your dog's current collar and lead ready
Keep the environment normal — don't over-prepare or over-clean
Have your dog's vaccination card handy on first visit
If other family members will be part of training, ask them to be present
Dress comfortably — you'll be on your feet, walking

Good to know

Booking, payment & cancellation.

Straightforward. Nothing hidden.

Payment

Full payment is due before your first session. PayNow to +65 9813 2756 (DOGPAPA) is the easiest. Bank transfer on request.

Rescheduling

Give at least 24 hours notice to reschedule a session — no charge, new slot booked at a time that works.

Late cancellations & no-shows

Cancellations with less than 24 hours notice, or no-shows, count as a used session. Exceptions at my discretion for genuine emergencies.

If I need to reschedule

Illness, emergency, or weather — I reschedule without charge. The session doesn't count as used.

Vaccinations

Please make sure your dog is up to date on core vaccinations before the first session. Bring the vaccination card or a photo of it.

Not a vet

DOGPAPA provides training, not veterinary advice. For anything medical, nutritional, or behavioural-medical, speak with your vet.

Tell me about your dog. I'll tell you honestly what I'd do. No sales pitch.
