Started by a behaviourist, for the “difficult” dogs
Good Hound grew out of a frustration our founder kept running into: owners doing their best, dogs labelled “naughty” or “stubborn”, and trainers reaching for choke chains and intimidation that made the fear worse, not better. There’s a kinder, more effective way — and the science has been clear about it for years.
So we built a studio around positive-reinforcement methods and proper assessments. We watch how your dog actually behaves, work out what’s driving it, and give you an honest plan — not a glossy package. We coach you as much as the dog, because the dog goes home with you, and that’s where the real training happens.
Today our AVS-accredited trainers help hundreds of Singapore households a year — from first-time puppy owners to families who were close to giving up on a dog they love. We still answer every WhatsApp ourselves, and we’re still proudest of the “lost causes”.

AVS-accredited dog trainers
Our trainers are accredited under the NParks AVS Accreditation of Dog Trainers (ACDT) framework — the standard Singapore’s authorities recognise for compulsory and HDB-related training.
Kind, science-based methods
We train with positive reinforcement and modern learning science. No choke chains, prong collars or “alpha” myths — your dog learns because it wants to, and trusts you more for it.
Assess first, then a real plan
Especially for behaviour cases, we assess before we advise. You get an honest read and a written plan tailored to your dog — never a one-size-fits-all package.
Trained for real Singapore life
Lifts, void decks, joggers, cats, other dogs, hawker smells — we proof the skills where your dog actually lives, not just in a quiet room.
We coach you, not just the dog
The dog goes home with you, so every session teaches you the timing and mechanics to keep the progress going long after we leave.
Honest about what’s realistic
We tell you plainly what training can and can’t fix, how long it tends to take, and when a vet or a specialist should be involved. Welfare comes first, always.
