Why you should let them sniff

Mental stimulation: Sniffing engages a dog’s brain, and provides mental stimulation and enrichment. 

Behavioural outlet: Sniffing is a natural behavior for dogs, and allowing them to do so can help prevent boredom and reduce the likelihood of destructive behaviours at home.

Sensory exploration: Dogs experience the world primarily through their sense of smell. They explore their world and surroundings by sniffing.

Improved mood and reduced stress: Sniffing can have a calming effect and may help regulate cortisol levels, reducing overall stress.

What Pawrents Say

Our Testimonials

I cannot recommend Jacky enough as the best dog obedience trainer in Singapore! He trained my dog, Chewie, using the non-stress training method, and the results have been incredible. Jacky's approach is all about positive reinforcement and creating a calm, supportive environment for dogs to learn. Chewie responded so well to his techniques, and I could see the bond between us grow with every session. Jacky's patience, expertise, and genuine love for animals really shine through in everything he does. If you're looking for someone to help train your dog with kindness and care, Jacky is the person to go to!"
I’m really glad to have engaged Jacky for training my Chihuahua puppy, Man Man. He was very patient and tailored the curriculum at the start of each session. Jacky always took the time to ask if I had any questions or specific areas I wanted my puppy to focus on. I opted for the Kinder Puppy Training private classes (comfort of own home and neighborhood), which provided a targeted learning approach, perfect for my rescued puppy’s needs. Jacky offered detailed explanations and suggested enrichment activities and remedies to help build my puppy’s confidence. I also appreciate that he uses a fear-free approach in his training. Jacky is also very generous in sharing the enrichment and remedy items with my family! This experience made me realize that puppy training is an ongoing process. It’s not just about the sessions with the trainer but also the day-to-day practice at home. I would definitely be happy to engage Jacky again in the future if needed. Highly recommend! Man Man can now walk when he has a collar on with confidence and can perform simple commands such as sit and down. Will continue to train him 🙂
Jacky has a fear-free training method right from the beginning. I have a whippet named Mocha, he’s 8 mths old. For context, whippets are slightly more complex to train , sometimes their minds wander off somewhere and this being Jacky’s first time with whippets I was skeptical. However, as soon as first session commenced my doubts were diminishing. We saw how patient Jacky was in reiterating commands to Mocha and explaining concepts to us . In due course after few lessons, Mocha had made significant progress with his demeanor, behaviours .. all of these significantly reduced our anxiety as pawparents. The let go command truly works … on an excited young puppy like Mocha. Mocha is now behaving a lot better even when he bumps into other dogs … Grateful for the training and certainly highly recommends Jacky to any other dog lovers in need of obedience training.
I am so glad to have found Jacky for my dog’s basic obedience training. Jacky was incredibly patient and took the time to tailor the training to my dog’s unique behavior and traits. The use of positive reinforcement made a huge difference, and my dog responded really well. Jacky’s approach was effective and compassionate, and I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trainer who truly understands how to work with dogs in a thoughtful and personalized way.
Jacky was very helpful in helping me understand my dog’s behaviour and applying useful techniques to get him out of situations before he starts getting reactive with force free methods. Overall a wonderful experience for me and my pup. Thanks!
