Dog Training in Jurong Town

Board-and-train delivers fast, consistent results because the dog trains full-time with a pro, but it costs the most and the handover matters — a good programme includes owner transfer sessions so the dog obeys you at home, not just the trainer. Avoid any provider who won't show you their methods and facilities.

Socialisation and basic manners can start as soon as a puppy is home (8-12 weeks), with formal puppy classes typically from around 10-16 weeks after initial vaccinations. Early, gentle training prevents most common adult behaviour problems.

Basic obedience usually takes a 4-6 week course plus daily home practice; specific behaviour problems can need several private sessions over weeks. Training is ongoing maintenance rather than a one-off fix — the homework between sessions does most of the work.

Pricing follows the format: group classes are cheapest per session, private one-to-one lessons cost more per hour but move faster, and board-and-train (the dog stays with the trainer) is the priciest, charged per week. Multi-session packages usually discount 10-20% versus booking singles.

Group classes are cost-effective and add real-world distraction and socialisation, ideal for basic obedience and sociable dogs. Private sessions suit specific issues (reactivity, resource guarding), nervous dogs, or busy schedules. Many owners combine a puppy course with a couple of private sessions.

Group classes run S$40-70 per session; private in-home lessons S$80-150 per session; obedience packages S$400-800; board-and-train S$1,500-3,000 per week.
