Welcome to My Obedient Dog, where we teach you the language of dog. Our dog training school specializes in behaviour training, obedience training, and dog psychology. Our end goal is for every owner to have a happy, calm, balanced dog.

Just like humans, dogs speak their own language. Everything they do is for a reason. When they live with us, we often fail to understand or misinterpret their actions. That's when we run into problems, resulting in unwanted and unbalanced behaviour.



Behaviour Training is about understanding how dogs communicate, why they do what they do, as well as the meaning behind their body language and eye contact. Behaviour Modification is described as changing the daily unwanted behaviour of the dog.

Obedience Training, on the other hand, focuses on teaching the dog to respond to various verbal commands or hand signals, including Sit, Stay, Down, Stand, Heal, Come, Out, and more. Many people seek obedience training before establishing pack leadership, not knowing that this is a backwards approach. Obedience training should be the follow-up after understanding your dog’s psychology and addressing all behavioural issues.



Majority of dogs are born as followers who don't have the qualifications to be leaders and decision makers, just as most people cannot lead an army or run a company. When a dog doesn't have someone 'in-charge' 100% of the time, providing him with instruction and guidance, he himself will feel obligated to fill the empty void, even though he's underqualified. This results in a stressed out, unbalanced dog, exhibiting a slew of behavioural problems.

Most behaviour issues will become non-existent once the following formula is practiced: Rules + Boundaries + Instructions = A balanced and obedient dog.



The sound knowledge and practical training you will acquire at My Obedient Dog, will make you a better owner, make your dog a better companion, and make your home a better place. With this newfound understanding, the relationship with your dog will transform into trust, respect, love, and companionship. The benefits of having a calm, compliant, obedient dog are so great, that becoming a responsible owner deserves whatever time it takes to do it right.
