Behavioural issues rarely develop overnight, and when mishandled or inappropriate training method is used, the issues can become more severe. Unlike traditional training courses, this course includes a 1-on-1 practical session that allows the instructor to gain a more in-depth understanding of the living habits of both the dog and the owner, and in turn, effectively assists the dog owner in knowing their dog better, preventing the issue from worsening, and identify appropriate solutions. The course also equips dog owners with various training knowledge and areas that require attention in daily lives, suitable for first-time dog owners and those who want to create a more harmonious living environment with their dogs.
