Coaching Methodology
At Hopefordogs Canine Training, we put the welfare of dogs first and foremost in our coaching philosophy. Our approach to dog training is grounded in compassion and the use of force-free methods. Because it is proven that positive reinforcement and humane techniques are the most effective means to achieve training and behaviour objectives.
Research has shown that positive reinforcement training produces results and creates a healthy dog and guardian relationship.
We are committed to helping dogs and their guardians achieve their training goals while respecting and meeting the needs and well-being of our wonderful furkids!
Started with PUPSingapore, a campaign to raise awareness about the horrific breeding and welfare conditions of puppy farms in Singapore, my passion to help dogs has not stopped ever since. Being a regular volunteer at SOSD has motivated me to become a professional dog trainer with the aim to help other volunteers alike, dog guardians and of course, the dogs.
Hi! I’m Jacky, a certified canine behaviour practitioner (ISCP, UK).
Because each animal is different, I’ll work with you to give them the specific guidance they need. Whether you’re thinking about getting a dog, have a new dog, or need help with one, I am here for you!
