DOG WOOFS-PERERS

TOUGH LOVE

Chief Trainer Kevin Yeo co-founded Pawrus Dog Training Academy in 2014 after working as a Military Working Dog Trainer as part of his National Service duties. He trained close to a dozen working dogs for the purposes of guarding, protection, as well as arms, explosives and narcotics detection. His buddy and narcotics detection partner, AE (pronounced “eh-yee”) suffered from on-leash reactivity and was nervous during search missions in the field. Traditional methods of training did not help. However, Kevin discovered clicker training and positive reinforcement methods. Over time — with plenty of kindness and patience — Kevin managed to help AE overcome his reactivity, and allowed him to grow into a competent and respected working dog. When Kevin founded Pawrus Dog Training Academy, he took a position against any form of violent, intimidating and fear-inducing training methods. As such, he has a zero-tolerance policy when it comes to the usage of training equipment such as choke, prong and shock collars.

With the exception of public holidays, classes and consultations can be conducted at the homes of owners (for those who live in the Western districts 22 to 24)
