DOG TRAINING ACADEMY

Dog Training Academy

Pawrus

It is commonly observed that adolescent dogs begin to misbehave and develop unwanted behaviours around 5 months to 2 years of age. If left unresolved, these undesired behaviours are likely to persist well into adulthood and substantially embed themselves into an adult canine’s personality, thereby increasing the possibility of future behaviour problems. Confident Canine was designed to resolve the issues that occur during this adolescent stage with an emphasis in shaping your dog into a well-mannered family dog using positive reinforcement techniques.

More About The Program

“Confident Canine is a 6-week programme that chronicles the developmental journey of you and your dog building a strong foundation of relevant knowledge and real-life skills together, within the home and outside of it.”

Unlike group classes, published peer-reviewed research shows that individualised instruction helps to resolve issues up to 90% quicker over group instruction. The main reason is because of the personalised solutions delivered expeditiously for every dog training issue. Therefore, better speed in problem resolution strongly correlates positively with the improvement in dog welfare and human satisfaction.

Pawrus

Concurrently, this programme was specially created to develop well-rounded canine citizens by inculcating good dog manners in adolescent to adult dogs. It is the optimal pedagogical setup for all dogs who wants to obtain the knowledge and skills required to be proficient in both indoor and outdoor environments.

Please note that this program addresses mild behaviour issues only. For dogs possessing behaviour issues with moderate to severe classifications, please see us for Behaviour Modification at Pawrus® Animal Behaviour Clinic instead.
