Your dog isn't just learning commands from you. They're learning about you. Every interaction we have with our dogs helps shape what they expect from us, how they communicate with us, and whether they feel comfortable turning to us when things become difficult. In this Noble Canine Academy seminar, Fraser Noble, canine behaviour specialist and founder of Noble Canine & Noble Canine Oasis, explores the behavioural science behind building a stronger, healthier relationship with

I remember watching a video of a dog called Frankie playing at daycare, and becoming increasingly concerned by what I was seeing. Frankie was a Goldie whose owners had worked incredibly hard to help him overcome his reactivity towards other dogs. For a long time, being around other dogs had been difficult for him, and his owners had been wonderfully consistent with his training. Slowly, we were seeing the results.

When we first adopted Athos, my original thinking was probably much the same as most of the dog-training world, and that was really centred around one question: did the dog do what I told the dog to do? And over time, through the issues, the reactivity, the trainers we worked with and all the other things Athos brought to the table with us, I started to realise that there was probably another question we were not asking nearly enough, which was: what did the dog learn about m

If you live in Singapore long enough, eventually you open the curtains one morning and think: “That looks a bit grim.” Then you step outside, smell the air, check the PSI and realise the haze is back. Meanwhile, your dog is standing at the front door staring at you because it is 7.02am and, according to the legally binding contract they believe you signed, this is walk time. So what do you do? Do you skip the walk? Shorten it? Carry on as normal? Lock everyone indoors until M

The first time I moved house with dogs, I made the classic mistake. Boxes everywhere, movers at the door, I was half-running on coffee and mild panic. Aramis, my usually very chilled Singapore Special (Mongrel), watched the chaos build, his eyes getting rounder, his breathing faster. Then a mover carried his bed out the front door. Aramis looked at the bed. Looked at me. Then trotted into the office, climbed under the desk and refused to come out without me actually going in
