Beyond the Bond: The Science of a Stronger Relationship With Your Dog
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

Daycare Done Right
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. He was becoming more comfortable, more confident and much bett

Beyond Obedience: Why Your Relationship With Your Dog Matters More Than Commands Alone
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

Why does your dog pull? Seminar & Workbook
A dog pulling towards a smell, rushing to greet another dog, or trying to move away from something worrying may look like the same problem on the lead. The reasons behind it are very different.

You’ll see three practical training games, how to set up the start of a walk, and what to do when your dog is too excited or worried to learn. The recording also includes the live

Dogs, Haze & Pollution: Should You Still Walk Your Dog?
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

Keep Tails Wagging When Everything Else Is in Boxes - Moving Home With Your Dog
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
