[14 Days Board & Train] Yoda 8 year old Silky Terrier
Yoda is an 8 year old dog that has been stuck in his own little box for many years. The words describe Yoda before training would be highly unpredictable, unmotivated and frustrated. Yoda did things on his own terms, but his terms were not only harmful to his family members but also to himself. Yoda refused to walk and rolled over whenever he felt like, making his owners helpless. He chased and attacked them when triggered, his trigger points were as simple as cloth cleaning his face. Yoda would not eat without company. He barked and whined until he gets company. Yoda was also very afraid of dogs, he avoided at all costs when sighted, if dogs approached any nearer with or without intention to interact with him, Yoda attacked. Yoda frightened himself in his daily life, a gentle leash brushing through his body would send him screaming. To get Yoda out of his shell was tough, he had no motivation and no will to move the slightest. Now Yoda has stepped out of his box, he is ready to keep improving and rebuild his relationship with his family members. woogadog.com -
[14 Days Board & Train] Poodle puppy
[14 Days Board & Train] - 7 months Toy Poodle Angel had the typical puppy issues plus a little more on her own. Angel would not stop moving when she was outdoor. She was so distracted with everything, anything that was moving was Angel’s business, she pounced on every stranger during walks. Angel also had her own version of separation anxiety, she would bark excessively for attention and barked when her owners were on a higher ground. Angel had poor meal habits and would nip during play. Through training, Angel has learnt a lot, she has learnt about self composure and impulse control. Doing an off leash heel on one of the busiest streets in Singapore would not have been easy for any dog, and for a puppy who had anxiety during walks, who was unable to focus for long and who was pouncing on every stranger two weeks ago, it was even harder. Not paying attention to distractions and constant checking with handler while doing an off leash heel at a location she had never visited is definitely a huge achievement for Angel. woogadog.com -
Board & train graduates meet up #5
Pack walk gathering for our Board & Train graduates. A time where we keep our skills up to par with each other, make mistakes and learn together and a good time for the dogs to enjoy a good walk with such a big group of dogs. If it wasn't for the rain, we could have done more. Considering that every dog in the video came with different issues such as separation anxiety, lunging at strangers, dog aggression, unable to walk properly, barking at foreign objects, attacking the owners, we have come a long way. It was good time spent. woogadog.com -
[14 days Board & Train] Buddy, 4 days after training
[14 days Board & Train] Buddy, 4 days after training Among countless fearful dogs, Buddy was on the extreme scale. From not leaving his house for more than a year, from not lasting more than 10minutes outdoors, to walking by the road side with his helper. From attacking his family member, from total refusal to wearing any thing on his neck and head, to willingly approaching his owner for muzzle wearing. Satisfaction and happiness comes from dogs like Buddy improving, because we know he can and he will, with proper training. Way to go Buddy & family! Check out Buddy’s before and after video here: https://www.facebook.com/486726881368875/posts/2962358303805708?sfns=mo -
[14 Days Board & Train] - BUDDY, 2 years old, Singapore Special
[14 Days Board & Train] - BUDDY, 2 years old, Singapore Special With not leaving his house for more than a year, Buddy was lacking serious exposure and skills to function outdoors. Buddy became isolated in his house after he attacked his family member. He missed vet visits because he was collar and leash aggressive, nothing could be worn or pass through his neck. Buddy came with skin issues, he couldn’t function outdoors and became terribly overwhelmed within 10mins of stepping outdoors. Buddy struggled on car rides, he was afraid of shadows and shades on the ground, he couldn’t walk straight or move forward. Any force used on Buddy would trigger him to attack and draw blood. At the same time, Buddy was non responsive to any food, treats, sounds the moment he step out of house. Today, Buddy looks forward to heading outdoors and new challenges. He enjoys car rides, he is muzzle conditioned for safety and he is no longer resisting collars and leashes. Buddy is off leash reliable, he understands commands and he knows how to respond in stressful moments. woogadog.com -
[14 Days Board & Train] - Spots the 30kg Singapore Special
[14 Days Board & Train] - Spots Spots was a very lost and confused dog. He had separation anxiety and did not like being left alone at any point in time. Other than barking and lunging at dogs, Spots was basically afraid of everything regardless of size and distance, as long as he could see it, he’s afraid of it, even a small little butterfly. Despite him being 29kg big, he took every step with extreme caution and retreated and cowered when in fear. He was unable to eat without human company, unable to stay still and refused to enter the crate. Because of his issues, he had made his owners fell during walks. Spots is much more confident, in more control of himself now and looks to his handlers for directions. Enjoying life with Spots starts now! woogadog.com -
[14 Days Board & Train] Luna the Singapore Special
[14 Days Board & Train] Luna the Singapore Special Luna came to Board & Train as there were a few issues that her owners wanted to address. Luna was terrible on leash, she pulled a lot even with the no-pull harness, she growled and bared teeth at dogs, she barked at anything that startled her. Basically, Luna did anything and everything without consideration due to her lack of confidence, fear and trust. Throughout her program, Luna trained hard for her impulse control and ability to focus. Luna kept her focus and held herself well regardless of where we went, that's huge for a dog like Luna. It is important for Luna to gain trust and look towards her handler(s) when in doubt, when unsure, afraid and to seek direction. woogadog.com -
Mayo 1 week after Training
After training, Mayo is having a much more balanced lifestyle with his owner. A stronger bond and growing trust has been created between the both of them. Mayo, who never bothered following or coming back to his owner, now returns promptly upon recall and follows willingly without any command! woogadog.com -
[14 Days Board & Train] Mayo the Chihuahua - Before and After
[14 Days Board & Train] - Mayo, Chihuahua, 2.5kg Because of Mayo’s issues, he can only walk when there was not a single distractions on walks, he wasn’t able to be around crowds, be around dogs and be safely left alone, and his life was restricted to his apartment estate. Mayo’s owners wanted him to be able enjoy life for once and be able to include him in a more balanced lifestyle, his issues were beyond her capabilities. Mayo lunges at humans, he was afraid of a lot of things, he charged and barked at all dogs on sight. Mayo also ingested many objects that he shouldn’t have, stones, leaves, refresheners, poop and these resulted in vet emergencies. He disregarded his owner, ate anything on the ground and marked a lot. NOW, Mayo is ready to be in a comfortable and fuss free new lifestyle with his owner and is ready to travel anywhere with her. -
[14 days Board & Train] Silver after 9 days
[14 days Board & Train] 11 months puppy after 9 days Silver was an 11 month old puppy with zero obedience foundation even though he graduated a 7 weeks long Board & Train from a training school. Silver came to us with no proper foundation, manners, habits, space acknowledgement and structure. He was a dog that does what he wants, when he wants. The only things he learnt and knew were to dash, bark and grab human and dogs. Through 9 days, Silver learnt to listen to commands, got in sync with routines and structures which are very important to a learning puppy. With proper handling, Silver can now have proper fun and outdoor adventures with his owners. woogadog.com -
[14 days Board & Train] Scotty before & after
[14 days Board & Train] Scotty after 8 days Scotty joined our program at the age of 7 and with a long list of issues. Scotty had very bad barking issues, he barks at almost every sound and every movement, from constructions at another flat to the sound of a dropping pin. He pulled his owner around, marked and sniffed about, chases wheeled objects and even killed a baby bird once during walks. He had ran out of his house several times when the door was open and other humans were present. Scotty had extreme fear of approaching and entering the lift resulting in the owner having to carry him in and out of the lift for years. Through the years, Scotty has never been off leashed as he could not be trusted and communicating with him was simply not possible with his mind scattered all around and never focused on his owner. After 8 days of proper guidance and training, Scotty has learnt many things and most importantly, he has learned to communicate with us. Through clear communications, Scotty will now understand what his owner wants and how to become a better dog with a healthier mindset. He has gained tremendous confidence from freezing and shivering in the lift to self entering and relaxing in the lift. He has learnt that when he communicates well with his handler, he feels confident, happy and relax. Take a look at what Scotty has achieved in just 8 days. woogadog.com/our-training/ -

[14 days Board & Train] Koko after 9 days
[14 days Board & Train] Koko after 9 days Koko's fear list: MRT Tracks, children, skateboards, town council cleaners, big blowing garbage, strangers, foreign objects, big dogs, cats. Koko is a Singapore Special that has gotten more than a little out of control with her owners. She is afraid of many things, children, skateboards, MRT tracks are just a few of her long fear list. Koko has developed aggression, skittishness and territorial issues due to her insecurities and fear. She lunges at passerby, barks at anyone at the door, nip at guests and has escaped from her collar and harness. This is Koko, 9 days later. Heeling passed all her fears, placing calmly with kids around, no longer relying on her flight response to get her out of fearful situations.

[14 Days Board & Train] 2.9kg insecure Yorkie
[14 Days Board & Train] Happy, 1 year old, 2.9kg insecure dog Happy came to us as a very insecure dog regardless of whether the owners’ presence. Happy’s reaction towards his securities and lack of confidence is often easily seen and referred as aggression. Happy lunges, barks and charges at kids, other dogs, trolleys and charges at humans in close proximity, just to name a few. With his insecurities and lack of confidence, Happy is unable keep himself composed and unable to focus on any communication when distractions or ‘threats’ are present. With 2 short weeks of Board & Train, Happy has gained confidence and now has more self-awareness. He is able to keep himself composed, focused and calm to carry out tasks, commands and relax with the presences of precious threats. We can only imagine with months and years of continuous guidance how much more Happy will improve and how much more confident he will gain. woogadog.com -

[14 days Board & Train] Onchu, prey drive issue
Onchu came to join our Board & Train program for one main reason. He sprints off on the sight of squirrels, cats and runs away without returning when his friends dash off. Onchu has basic understanding of some commands, however none of which are solid and stable. Our main focus is to make sure Onchu returns when called and reliable when he is off leashed. In order to achieve that, communications are set to be clear cut from day one through the introduction of e-collar. Now Onchu can enjoy chasing squirrels, have safe off leashed moments and return whenever he is called. woogadog.com/board-train-training -

Controllable prey drive with solid recall skill - Onchu
When dealing with drives, rather than desensitizing the drives in the dogs, we always choose to keep it under control. Drives are part of what makes the dog, the dog. Nonsensical, impulsive and uncontrollable drives are nothing but danger. Controllable drive can keep the dog and others safe, yet allows the dog to be who he is and enjoys what he loves without getting into trouble. With permission, the dog is allowed to go after preys/lures, when recalled, the dog must return regardless of the situation and return his focus to the handler. Focus points are extremely important, a dog beside you with his mind elsewhere is as good as a dog gone. Onchu, our Board & Train dog with high prey drive demonstrating a solid recall while going after a lure within 10 days of training. woogadog.com/training-video/ -
[14 days Board & Train] Noodle, 3.5months puppy, Day 10

She has learnt and now love hanging outdoors, sleeping in her crate, running around off leash, going for a good long walk beside her handler and proper canine manners. woogadog.com/board-train-training/ -
[14 days Board & Train] - Polar
Quoted from Polar's owner. "I always ask him to sit down to calm him down. But his eyes were always fixated on the gate. He doesn't respond. The moment its ok to leave, he will dash out the gate and start sniffing." "He used to be so uncontrollable when he's outside. He even ignored the treats and continue sniffing the floor." 11months young Polar has been wrongly socialised since young, resulting in his lack of confidence, skittishness and undesirable habits when being around dogs. Polar has also developed an obsession with ground sniffing and objects picking when outdoors. In 10 short days, Polar has overcame his fears and kicked his bad habits. Check out what he can do! woogadog.com -
[14 days Board & Train] - Luna
Luna's first time out to a new environment 10 days into her E-collar Board & Train. An outing like this may seem easy to many, it would have never been possible with Luna not freaking out and being this calm 10 days ago. This is an extremely big challenge and experience for Luna due to her fearful, skittish and anxious behaviours just before the program. Pacing and panting were part of Luna’s daily life. To untrained eyes, Luna appears to be just highly excitable when in fact, Luna was highly fearful and anxious. Beside pacing and panting, to Luna, a bed that she has had for the past 5 years became a threat when washed and hanged. Other than extreme phobia towards thunders, Luna was fearful of anything out of the ordinary, freaked out at any object near her, she barked at every light sound outside her home. Her behaviours took a turn for the worst when her family moved into a new apartment. Being highly anxious and fearful, Luna began panting and salivating to the extend that her whole front would be soaking wet by the time her owners returned from work. She barked for hours throughout the day when left alone, resulted in noise complains. She paced the whole day and would not rest and would not eat without human in sight. She would freaked out and could not be left alone even just for a few minutes. Through the 10 short day that we have worked with Luna, she has now reached a point that she can be comfortably confined and left alone for long hours without any pacing, salivating and panting. Luna is now more confident and can visit new places with the ability to remain calm and composed. Although there is still work to be done, but given the short span of 10 days, she has come a very very long way, she is now a Luna that she never was. One that is able to perform with the right mindset in new environments and one that would not shut down. Imagine if she had weeks or months more in her training, she would be even better. E-collar is a tool that is highly misunderstood especially with dogs that are fearful and skittish. Here is Luna being out in a new environment for the first time, 10 days after the introduction of e-collar. With proper introduction and proper training, no doubt the best tool to get a fearful dog out of it’s shadow. woogadog.com/board-train-training/ -

[Board & Train] - Summer after 10 days
Summer used to be a home dog, she has a habit of marking different areas, whining/screeching/barking during car rides and at motorists when in car, chewing on tissue paper, pulling on leash, charging and whining towards kids, slight food aggression, separation anxiety and unable to be confined. Summer screeches whenever she does not want to do something and whenever she is out of comfort zone, and the main reason she has not been to the outdoors as much. Exposing Summer to different scenarios and challenging her thresholds are the biggest challenges throughout her Board & Train. She has learnt and improved tremendously during the program. We are extremely hopeful that she will only continue to become better with consistency from the owner -

Holding 'DOWN' command
Holding down until release. It’s easy to teach one dog a command. To us, the dog’s ability and confident to hold a command until release is much more practical. Every other dog you add to the equation is a new distraction for the dog. Without a doubt, a slight movement from any dog will set all of them off. Down to many dogs is a very tough command but it is one of the most useful command that showcases the dog’s ability to relax and stay calm in the situation. -
[BOARD & TRAIN] - COTTON D10
Cotton came to Board & Train to fix a few of his issues that he has at home. Cotton displayed a lack of confidence, serious social anxiety and highly excitable by his environment. He was afraid of loud noises like trolleys, sprints off when frighten by flying plastic bags and was unable to remain calm in any new environment or change such as different ground textures. Cotton has learnt to listen and carry out commands and tasks even in new environment. He has learnt to remain calm and relaxed in the presence of dogs, food and human. Exposing him to new things constantly and positively has helped to build his confidence. Over the next few days, his training will continue to help shape his character and confidence. Check out his before and after 10days! www.woogadog.com -
Gourmet Food Challenge
One of the main problems stated by his owner is that he is out-of-control with food. The reason that we constantly push pass his known limit is to expose him to possible scenarios, teach him what is OK and not OK and build his nerves. Part of the dog’s nerves is it’s genetic make up. The other part lies within exposure and training. A dog with weak nerves gets easily excited and nervous whenever the environment changes. High level exposure when done properly is one of the most important part to build a dog’s nerves. -
Advance Commands
A short compilation of a handful of advance commands that we do at our free time to constantly have the dogs engaged with us. Fun to do, plenty of mental stimulation and a great bonding time. Commands in video: Load up, Watch, Touch, Through, Off Leash triple heel, Off Leash cycle -

Hunter only knows her name and sit, nothing solid, not fantastic with recall, so off leash is a big no. She also has a lack of focus, is a little skittish and timid to sounds and commotions. Overly affectionate, she climbs on to anyone that is nearer to the ground. Check out her awesome progress and the amount of confidence she has built over just a span of 13.5hours and 5 training days. -
Borcsa before & after

Emergency Stop
Extremely useful in times of crisis. Emergency stops can be used in a lot of situations such as oncoming traffic and escapes from vet. This is one of the reasons why we do all trainings outdoor. Real life happens outdoor and the only way to proof your dog against distractions and dangers like these is to train outdoor. -
WOOGA! Real world distraction training course
Raw, un-rehearsed WOOGA distraction obstacle course! The “distracters” had one job, that is to distract the dog on heel. The dog one job, that is to heel beside the handler. The handler had one job, that is to lead the dog well. Heeling through toys, balls, running dogs, flying dogs, high heel clacking, blankets, plastics bags, frying pans, coins, bottles! We focus on real world training, preparing the dog for all sorts of nonsense that can and will happen in the real world. Proofing them in this extreme course, allows us to challenge their thresholds and see for ourselves how far the dog has come and how much the dog has accomplished. -
