Hi, I was wondering where is the best recommended place(Singapore) to send my puppy for his training? As i have 6days work with 1 random off days every week.
Some questions is :
- Does the Owner (Me) need to be around during the training?
- How long is the training / Course?
- Will the puppy be staying there?
- How much is the Cost?

Never send your dog away for training. That is a complete waste of time and money.
You need to do the training, not someone else. You want to be able to handle your dog so you have to learn along with your dog. Besides, training is a serious bonding experience and you want your dog to bond with you.

You never send your puppy out for training. Training courses are usually 6 – 8 weeks lond, group courses and you attend with your dog. The whole purpose is to train your dog, yes, but to train him to listen to you. And the owner also needs training. You obviously don’t know how to train your dog or you wouldn’t want to be "sending" him for training. Courses are 1 hour long and if you haven’t got time to take a course, you sure don’t have the time for everything else involved in having a puppy.

Petsmart has a 8 week training course which meets once a week for one hour, where you and preferably anyone else in the household to attend. I’ve put my dogs through their courses and loved them. They also have a 100% satisfaction guarantee, if you aren’t satisfied you can re-take the course for free.

i didnt know you could send them away, anyways its a bad idea, when training with a puppy you develope a bond, do you really want your dog getting attached to someone else? besides it might listen to them, doesnt mean it will listen to you when you get it home, you should take him her to obedience classes and do it yourself, it doesnt cost much at all, i dont live in your area so i wouldnt know where to find one but there are many about, if you dont have time to do this then why on earth did you buy a puppy?

Yes you have to be around to train it.
The training is about 5-15 minutes once to twice a day
the puppy will be staying there
its free with the exception of food/occational vet bills/dog toys/etc
Its called the ‘In House Training Program’ the puppy stays at your house and you train it yourself. You can even train it to only obey you and ignore everyone else.
