Companionship with a dog is a lifelong process that starts when you get your pup. The relationship will mature into something far exceeding your expectations through conscientious care, coaching and love.

 

Why Us

At Hopefordogs Canine Training, we advocate using compassionate and kind methods in our coaching. Because humane and positive reinforcement is far more likely to succeed in achieving a training or behaviour change objective. Welfare first, training second.

"Beneath every behaviour there is a feeling. And beneath each feeling is a need. And when we meet that need, rather than focus on the behaviour, we begin to deal with the cause, not the symptom."

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’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 🙂
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 can't recommend Jacky enough! Being a first-time dog owner, I was really struggling with understanding and training my Cavapoo puppy. Jacky's expertise and guidance were exactly what I needed. He gave me clear and effective training tips and, more importantly, boosted my confidence. Jacky's patience and professionalism made the whole experience enjoyable and stress-free. My puppy has made incredible progress, and I now feel so much more confident as a dog owner. Thank you so much, Jacky!
We had a great experience with Jacky training our dog, Milo. He was super attentive and always answered our questions clearly. Jacky explained not just how to train Milo, but why each command was useful. Over the six weeks, Milo became much better behaved, and walks are so much more enjoyable now. Highly recommend Jacky!
After my 2nd senior Shih Tzu passed, I got another 3 month puppy. I was a bit overwhelmed, having to teach & adjust to puppyhood after 17 years 😅. Lucky I came across Hope For Dogs & signed up for the Kinder Puppy Program. Jacky is knowledgeable & very clear in his lessons. Though the lessons were once a week & only 4 times, I felt I already learnt a lot 😊😊. His positive teachings are very effective & practical. I would definitely recommend Jacky to any pawrent. 👍👍
