At Active K9 Academy, we firmly believe that every dog has the potential to be great. Our dog training classes in Singapore focus on helping dogs and their owners achieve success together. Our human-centered approach acknowledges the fact that the success of dog training is in fact dependent on the human.
Instead of focusing solely on your dog, we focus on you as well – the owner.
After all, you are the one who will be living with your dog day in and day out. Our training methods are designed to help you better understand your dog so that you can more effectively engage with them.
Dogs communicate primarily through body language. When you give verbal commands to your dog, they may not register it, and it isn’t always because they intentionally want to go against you.
So rather than trying to pin your dog’s failure to listen on one issue, start working with your dog from the ground up, trying everything you can until the command sticks. Remember to be an effective leader; give consistent commands with body language cues, and make sure that your dog understands what you are asking it to do before assuming that your dog simply doesn’t want to listen to you.
Our certified dog trainers have been known to shape your dog's behavior within a short period of time. See improvements after each session!
We believe that both owner and dog should enjoy learning together. Developing a stronger bond between the two leads to happier & healthier life
We develop dog training techniques and programs based on deep understanding of canine and human psychology
We understand that there may be challenges and we are here to support you
Before engaging ACTIVEK9ACADEMY
“My dog used to pull towards and bark loudly at people and dogs. It was very embarrassing and I didn’t want to take her out. It was very stressful and unfulfilling having her.
After engaging ACTIVEK9ACADEMY:
“I’m very surprised at how quickly they took to resolve the problem. I saw improvements even after the first session. I never thought I could bring my dog to the dog park. In one of the sessions, we went to the dog park for training. I was happy to see that she was not aggressive and enjoyed herself running around with the other dogs”
It depends on what your goals are, your dog’s temperament, how old your dog is, severity of behavioural problems, how much time you have to practice.

It depends on what your goals are, your dog’s temperament, how old your dog is, severity of behavioural problems, how much time you have to practice. Dog training consists of knowledge and skill. Knowledge can be imparted quickly. However, a skill requires time to perfect.
For behavioral issues that are not severe, e.g. mild reactivity, the knowledge of how to handle your dog can be delivered in 4 sessions. However, you may want to sign up for more to practice to improve your skill. Our clients with typical cases of dog reactivity, see improvement within 2 sessions and further progress with every additional session.
Behavioural issues that are more severe will naturally require more sessions or even the Board & Train Programme.

Around 4 months, after 1-2 weeks from the last vaccination. Your puppy has to be on flea and tick, heartworm prevention and kennel cough vaccination.
However, we are able to do private training at your place before the last vaccination.
Private training is recommended if your dog is apprehensive in unfamiliar surroundings, has aggression issues, or other behavioural issues that require more focused attention. If your dog does not have the aforementioned issues, group training would be suitable for it.
An assessment is required before we can advice further on our programs. Please schedule an assessment with our trainer.
It helps with performing day-to-day commands like; sit, stay, down. With basic obedience, it helps your dog to walk loose leash or even off leash and to socialise as well. Basic obedience helps to increase your dog’s focus thus not being afraid of the outdoors, making them confident dogs.
We have many tools in our toolbox, from clickers to no-pull harness to training collars. As each dog is different and responds to each tool differently, we feel that it is important to find the right tool and technique for your dog.
We can never give a 100% guarantee when it comes to living creatures. As much as a doctor can give you the estimated chance of success of a particular treatment, we can give you the estimated chance of success of a particular program for your dog. That said, we have been achieving a high rate of success and satisfaction amongst our clients.
