• What is the difference between Puppy Class and Basic Obedience ?
  Basically, the Puppy Class and Basic Obedience will go through the same syllabus. The only difference is that  it is always easier to train a puppy than  an adult as puppies has not learnt many respond to different environment and is therefore easier to train them to the way that you want. Hence the training methods to be used will be slightly different in these two classes.
    

• Does the Obedience Training include house breaking training ?
  No. The Obedience Training does not include House Breaking training. However, the main lesson to be learnt from the Obedience Training is to teach your dog to understand your command. The difficult part in dog training is to make your dog to understand what you want them to do and we address this issue and use this in the obedience training. Once you learnt these basic  technique, you can apply them to other type of training if you wish.
