GROUP CLASSES

Our Group Classes are the best method of instruction for new dog owners. This class will give you the chance to see how a wide variety of problem behaviors are solved and learn the skills and techniques used by professional trainers. In the group class, I will instruct you through the basics of teaching your dog the obedience commands. By providing explanations and practical exercises, you will gain the ability to teach your dog and any future dog you may have.

The classes are designed for the owner to be the primary trainer and to do homework as taught in the class. Owners attend with their dogs once per week, learn an obedience lesson, and work with their dog at home, progressing through the 8-week courses. The tuition is 8,000 baht for each level. There are 8 classes in each level. The Group Class is open to dogs of all ages, breeds and dispositions. Only 8 seats are open per class.

BOARDING & TRAINING

Our Boarding & Training School is a 28-day intensive course where your dog will be trained multiple times per day and experience a sane schedule and routine. Students of this program will graduate with a high degree of reliability with the obedience commands. Behavior problems will be addressed and corrected, while we instill new habits and respect for human leadership and guidance.

Week One: The first week is about giving your dog time to settle in and get used to the routine at the school. We will address problems related to focus, inattentiveness, lack of motivation, dietary and schedule issues. In this week we begin to build trust and confidence in human guidance.

Week Two: During the second week of training we start teaching the obedience commands required for the course. We will begin teaching the Sit, Heel, Drop and Place commands. We will make training fun and exciting through many training and play sessions every day.

Week Three: In the third week we begin the training phase of the course. During this week we will show your dog why it is important to follow the leadership and guidance of his owners.  Through many hundreds of repetitions your dog will be conditioned to do the commands because he has learned that it is beneficial for him.

Week Four: In the final week, you will join your dog for the training sessions. During this week your dog will learn to perform the obedience commands in real-life situations with distractions. The training will be tested in public places such as malls, coffee shops and home environments.

Meanwhile, you will be learning the basics of training and how to maintain the training after graduation. We require that the owners attend at least 3 sessions of training during the final week of training.

You will be trained to work with many dogs during these sessions (as well as your own!) so that you have a firm grasp of how to keep the training fresh. You will be given a checklist to implement before your dog returns home on the 28th day.

The tuition is 44,500 baht which includes boarding, the training sessions, training equipment, pick up and delivery from your home (Metro Bangkok), multiple training sessions with you and a Certificate of Completion. To find out more, Click here.

PRIVATE TRAINING

Private training at our facility is another option. There are some situations that require private one-on-one dog training classes. Generally we reserve this time for those working through difficult behavior problems. Almost all dogs will benefit from the interaction of the group format, but when that is just not possible, we can provide private lessons. Private Training Class is 12 sessions spaced throughout the week, delivered one-on-one with the owner’s participation and with homework between sessions. The tuition is 22,900 baht which is paid upon starting the program. At the moment, our private lessons are delivered at our facility on a day and time that is convenient for you.
