Popular programs: Home Consult $250/hr, Puppy 101 (6 sessions) $620, Life Skills group classes (10 sessions) $780-$880, Private Home 121 (6 sessions) $1,200, Behaviour Modification (8 sessions) $2,000, Dog Sports (6 sessions) $1,110, and Board & Train from $2,400 for 12 days." } }, { "@type": "Question", "name": "Which dog training method does PUPS use?", "acceptedAnswer": { "@type": "Answer", "text": "PUPS uses exclusively positive, reward-based training methods. We reinforce good behaviour with treats, praise, and play — never punishment, aversive tools, or dominance techniques. Our philosophy is simple: 'Have Fun & Stay Positive.' This approach is backed by modern animal behaviour science and recommended by AVS (NParks)." } }, { "@type": "Question", "name": "Is PUPS Dog Training certified or AVS-accredited?", "acceptedAnswer": { "@type": "Answer", "text": "Yes. PUPS Dog Training is founded by Dexter Sim (23+ years experience, USDAA Judge) with Chief Trainer Debra Sim (CPDT-certified). We also run the PUPS Trainers Academy (pups.sg) which certifies professional dog trainers. All training follows AVS/NParks guidelines for humane, science-based methods." } }, { "@type": "Question", "name": "What age should I start training my puppy?", "acceptedAnswer": { "@type": "Answer", "text": "Puppy training can begin as early as 8-10 weeks old. The critical socialisation window is between 3 to 16 weeks — this is when puppies are most receptive to new experiences. Our Puppy 101 program (6 sessions, $620) covers bite inhibition, toilet training, crate training, and socialisation during this key developmental period." } }, { "@type": "Question", "name": "What's the difference between group classes and private sessions?", "acceptedAnswer": { "@type": "Answer", "text": "Group Life Skills classes (Canberra Park Mon, Bishan Park Fri, 8-9pm, 10 sessions $780-$880) are great for socialisation and learning in a group environment. Private 1-2-1 sessions ($1,200 for 6 sessions) are held at your home for one-on-one attention — ideal for specific behaviour issues, reactive dogs, or owners who prefer individual coaching." } }, { "@type": "Question", "name": "How does Board & Train work and is it worth it?", "acceptedAnswer": { "@type": "Answer", "text": "Your dog stays at our trainer's home for full-time immersive training over 12-30 days. Programs cover potty training, basic obedience, loose leash walking, and behaviour correction. Daily progress updates included. Board & Train starts from $2,400 (12 days) up to $4,300 (21 days). It's ideal for busy owners or dogs needing intensive focus. Next availability: September 2026." } }, { "@type": "Question", "name": "Can you help with HDB dog issues like barking or leash pulling?", "acceptedAnswer": { "@type": "Answer", "text": "Absolutely. Excessive barking is the #1 HDB dog complaint in Singapore, and leash reactivity is common in our dense urban environment. Our Behaviour Modification program (8 sessions, $2,000) and Private sessions ($1,200 for 6 sessions) are designed specifically for these challenges. We assess each dog individually and create a positive training plan tailored to your home situation." } }, { "@type": "Question", "name": "What if my dog has aggression or severe behavioural issues?", "acceptedAnswer": { "@type": "Answer", "text": "We specialise in behaviour modification for aggression, reactivity, resource guarding, separation anxiety, and fear-based behaviours. Our 8-session Behaviour Modification program ($2,000) starts with a thorough assessment at our centre (19 Mount Rosie Road). All work is done using positive, force-free methods — no aversive tools, no intimidation." } }, { "@type": "Question", "name": "Where is PUPS Dog Training located in Singapore?", "acceptedAnswer": { "@type": "Answer", "text": "PUPS operates across Singapore: Board & Train at Canberra Drive, Agility/Dog Sports at Marina Country Club (Punggol, indoor), Life Skills classes at Canberra Park (Mon) and Bishan Park (Fri, 8-9pm), Behaviour Modification at 19 Mount Rosie Road, and Private 1-2-1 sessions at your home islandwide." } }, { "@type": "Question", "name": "How do I book a session with PUPS Dog Training?", "acceptedAnswer": { "@type": "Answer", "text": "Contact us via WhatsApp at 8774 0168, email pupsdex@gmail.com, or visit pups.com.sg. We accept PayNow and bank transfer. For Home Consults and Private sessions, we come to your home at a time that suits you. First time? We recommend starting with a Home Consult ($250/1hr) to assess your dog and recommend the best program." } }, { "@type": "Question", "name": "How long does it take to see training results?", "acceptedAnswer": { "@type": "Answer", "text": "It depends on the program and consistency. Puppy 101 shows improvement within weeks. Board & Train delivers visible results in 12-21 days of immersive training. Behaviour Modification typically takes 8 sessions over several weeks. The key is owner follow-through — we provide homework and support to ensure lasting results." } }, { "@type": "Question", "name": "Do you offer dog sports or agility training?", "acceptedAnswer": { "@type": "Answer", "text": "Yes! Our Dog Sports program (6 sessions, $1,110) includes Agility, Nosework, and more. Held at Marina Country Club (Punggol) indoor facility — Thu/Fri 9am-12pm, Sat/Sun 5-7pm.
