Dog Training Services

Your dog needs your leadership and guidance. Obedience training is an excellent way to build better control and a deeper understanding of your dog.

With over 25 years of hands-on experience and more than 10,000 graduates from our training program, we understand that every dog-and-human partnership is unique. Our training is based on a common-sense approach that’s effective for your dog and equips you with the knowledge and skills to become a responsible and confident dog owner. At K-9 Bangkok, we don’t train to serve an ideology—we train for reliability and real-world results.

Group Classes

Our Group Classes are an ideal introduction for new dog owners. These sessions give you the opportunity to observe how a wide range of behavioral issues are addressed and to learn the techniques used by professional trainers. During class, I will guide you through the fundamentals of teaching your dog basic obedience commands. Through clear explanations and hands-on exercises, you’ll develop the skills to train your current dog—and any future dogs you may have.

These classes are designed with the owner as the primary trainer. You and your dog will attend once a week, learn a new obedience lesson, and continue practicing at home as outlined in the coursework. Each course runs for 8 weeks and costs 8,000 baht per level. Every level includes 8 classes. Group Classes are open to dogs of all ages, breeds, and temperaments. 

Group Class Schedule

The Basic Obedience Class is delivered on Saturday and Sunday mornings at 9:30 to 10:15.

The Intermediate Group Class is held every Saturday morning at 08:30 to 09:15.

Boarding & Training

Our Boarding & Training School is a 28-day intensive program in which your dog will receive multiple training sessions per day while following a structured and balanced daily routine. Graduates of this program develop a high level of reliability in obedience commands. Behavioral issues are addressed and corrected as we instill positive habits and reinforce respect for human leadership and guidance.

Week One:
The first week allows your dog time to settle in and adjust to the school’s routine. We focus on issues such as poor focus, inattentiveness, lack of motivation, dietary needs, and schedule adaptation. This week is about building trust and confidence in human direction.

Week Two:
In the second week, we begin teaching the core obedience commands for the course: Sit, Heel, Drop, and Place. Training is made fun and engaging through frequent sessions that blend learning with play.

Week Three:
This is the conditioning phase of the program. Your dog will begin to understand the value of following leadership and guidance through hundreds of structured repetitions. We help your dog associate obedience with positive outcomes and benefits.

Week Four:
In the final week, you will participate in training sessions alongside your dog. These sessions take place in real-life environments—such as malls, cafés, and home settings—where your dog will practice obedience with real-world distractions.

You’ll also learn the fundamentals of dog training and how to maintain the results after the program ends. We require that owners attend a minimum of three sessions during the final week.

During these sessions, you’ll work with your own dog as well as others to ensure you develop a clear, hands-on understanding of how to keep training effective and fresh. A post-program checklist will be provided to guide your dog’s transition back home on Day 28.

Tuition is 44,500 baht and includes boarding, all training sessions, training equipment, pick-up and drop-off service within Metro Bangkok, multiple owner-training sessions, and a Certificate of Completion.

Private Lessons

Private Lessons are ideal for dog owners who need a flexible schedule and want personalized instruction tailored to their dog’s specific behavior and training goals. Whether you’re working through a behavioral issue, need help with foundational obedience, or want to advance your dog’s skills, private lessons offer the one-on-one attention needed to make real progress—on your terms.

Each session is designed to focus on your unique challenges and priorities. You’ll receive hands-on coaching from a professional trainer who will guide you through proven methods, explain how dogs learn, and demonstrate how to apply the techniques effectively with your own dog. This individualized approach allows us to quickly identify what works best for you and your dog, helping you reach your training goals faster and with greater confidence.

Private Lessons are scheduled by appointment, making them an excellent option for owners with busy or unpredictable routines. You can progress at your own pace, without the pressure of a group format, and revisit specific exercises as needed. Many owners choose private lessons as a standalone program, while others use them as a supplement to group classes or boarding programs.

No two dogs—or owners—are exactly alike. Private training gives you the freedom and support to build a better relationship with your dog based on mutual trust, clear communication, and consistent leadership.

Private training is offered as a 10-session package, with a total tuition fee of 28,500 baht.

Basic On-Lead Obedience

In this course, you’ll learn the fundamentals of dog training. We’ll cover how both good and bad behaviors are developed, giving you a solid foundation in understanding your dog. You will be taught three essential obedience commands that help build a stronger, more respectful relationship with your dog. This course is ideal for puppies, first-time dog owners, those dealing with behavioral challenges, and anyone looking to progress to more advanced obedience training.

Intermediate Course

From day one, Intermediate students will focus on improving the consistency and precision of the Basic Level commands, applying them in more challenging situations. You’ll begin working with your dog off-leash and explore the different ways dogs learn, using these methods to build greater reliability and control. Graduates who successfully complete the Intermediate Level will be invited to test for the American Kennel Club’s Canine Good Citizen title, which we evaluate and certify on-site.

Advanced Obedience

By the time you reach the Advanced Obedience Course, you and your dog will function as a well-coordinated team. You’ll have developed solid handling skills, a working understanding of how dogs learn, and the ability to shape basic behaviors with confidence. In this course, you’ll gain hands-on experience with a variety of advanced training tools and techniques. Successful graduates may be invited to enroll in one of our Specialist Courses.

Professional Dog Trainer Certification Course

Our Professional Dog Trainer Certification Course is a full-time, immersive training program designed for individuals who are serious about pursuing a career in dog training. This intensive course combines in-depth theoretical knowledge with an extensive amount of practical, hands-on experience—offering a comprehensive education in dog behavior, obedience training, and professional client instruction.

We are proud to say that the majority of our graduates have gone on to build highly successful careers as professional dog trainers, both in Thailand and internationally. Many are now operating their own training businesses or working as lead trainers at respected institutions. Alumni of our program have come from around the world—including the USA, Australia, England, the Netherlands, Japan, Russia, Kuwait, and many regions throughout Thailand—contributing to a rich and diverse learning environment.

Throughout the course, students receive direct experience training dogs of all breeds, sizes, temperaments, and behavior types. From basic obedience to advanced off-leash control, aggression management, and behavior modification, the training covers the full spectrum of canine development. Students work with a wide variety of dogs every day, ensuring they graduate with the competence and confidence required for real-world professional work.

In addition to the practical training, the course includes detailed classroom sessions and group discussions focused on canine psychology, learning theory, training methodology, and behavior problem-solving. These interactive discussions help students build a deeper understanding of the “why” behind the techniques, making them more adaptable, insightful, and thoughtful trainers.

Students also have opportunities to participate in local obedience competitions, real-world training environments, and public demonstrations. Each candidate must pass a series of practical exams that evaluate their skills in training, handling, and instructing others. The program places a strong emphasis on professional presentation, communication skills, and the ability to coach clients effectively.

Because this is a demanding, full-time course, applicants must be physically fit and able to work actively with dogs throughout the day. A working knowledge of English is also required, as many of the lectures, materials, and discussions are conducted in English to accommodate our international student body.

The Professional Dog Trainer Certification Course is typically offered once per year, and space is limited to maintain the quality of instruction and individualized attention. Admission is selective, and applicants should be prepared to commit fully to the program’s schedule and expectations.

Whether you’re looking to start a new career, expand your existing knowledge, or deepen your relationship with dogs, this course provides the knowledge, skills, and mentorship necessary to succeed at the highest level of the profession.
