WAGGIE DOG TRAINING CLASSES
At Waggie, we conduct private lessons and group classes. We highly recommend group classes for best results because you and your dog get to experience real-life distractions and better motivation levels in a class environment. For the best of both worlds, you can add on a few private lessons to get the one-to-one attention you need for specific dog training concerns.
Our basic dog obedience course will cover all behavioural problems such as toilet/potty training, chewing problems, barking problems, biting and dog aggression. By the end of the 10-week course, you will also have mastered advanced “off leash” techniques where your dog will respond to basic obedience commands without being on the leash.
WHY YOU SHOULD TRAIN YOUR DOG
ESSENTIAL PART OF RESPONSIBLE PET OWNERSHIP
Dogs need to be trained to be socially acceptable in public places. Dog obedience training is especially important in a multi-racial country like Singapore.
UNDERSTAND DOG BEHAVIOURS
Dog obedience training helps dog owners understand the fundamentals of dog behaviour to bond better with their canine friend.
PROVIDE MENTAL STIMULATION TO DOGS
Research shows that mental stimulation is important in keeping dogs happy and engaged. It helps to build confidence, alleviate boredom and reduce destructive behaviours.
STRENGTHENS HUMAN-DOG BOND
Obedience training is a great way to build a strong bond with your dog. Training helps build mutual understanding, confidence and trust in both dogs and owners, which are key components of a positive and rewarding human-dog relationship.
However, you may think, my dog is so well-behaved, why does it need training? Training is not just for dogs who already have behavioural issues. Dog behaviours evolve over time and many owners experience issues as the dog matures between one to three years old. It is most effective to start training as early as possible before issues arise, so owners learn the necessary skills to pre-empt problems and nip undesirable behaviours early in the bud. For this reason, we recommend completing the basic obedience course as early as possible, instead of attempting to deal with one issue at a time. Remember that it is never too late to start training – the oldest dog we have trained was 14 years old. On a lighter side of things, the dog training sessions will also allow your furry friend to socialise with other dogs in the class and make friends!

Dogs In TV & Film Productions
In the early days, animals were considered problematic in local film productions and so were barely seen on TV. This all changed when Patrick’s Border Collie, Waggie, was featured successfully in the 1998 TV drama “My Fair Ladies” alongside Zoe Tay, Aileen Tan & Jazreel Low.
Our Dog Shows & Event
Patrick is not only a dog trainer, but also a devoted organizer of dog shows and dedicated promoter of events. He is very prolific in dog shows that are educational, entertaining, comical and fun for the family. Every show is well supported by a large team to ensure every show is a successful one.PHOTO GALLERY
