Our Training Services include:
Group Classes
During group class, you will teach your dog basic manners, commands, impulse control, and you will learn how to work together as a team in an environment with distractions. The group classes are 1 hour long and will take place weekly. The groups will consist of a maximum of 6 dogs.These classes will run from My Second Home Dubai (branch location to be confirmed for each package).
Private Training for 1hr, 1.5hrs or 5x5hour sessions
Are you experiencing certain behaviour difficulties with your dog, such as separation anxiety, soiling inside the house, reactivity, or anxiety? Or do you want to work on basic manners and commands, but our group class timings don’t fit your schedule? Our private training sessions are tailor-made to your needs and that of your dog. For our private training sessions, the trainer will come to your home, to work with you, your dog, and family. Private training can be booked for 1 hour, 1,5 hour, or 5x 1 hour.
VETiquette
Make vet visits pleasant and stress free for your dog. Many pets have a fear of going to the vet, which isn’t only unpleasant for them, but can also stand in the way of being able to give them the care they require. During our VETiquette sessions, your dog will be familiarised with all things vet. This includes the touching of sensitive body parts such as paws, ears, mouth, belly and tail, voluntary weighing, nail clipping, receiving injections, and more. We work together with veterinary clinics to provide these sessions. Vetiquette starts as a blok of 4 sessions, and after that top ups can be added per session as required.
Enrichment Sessions
Regular enrichment can help reduce anxiety, destructive behaviour, and depression in dogs. Additionally, it contributes to maintaining wellbeing, supports mental health, and helps dogs lead fulfilling lives. During our enrichment sessions, you will learn how you can improve your dog’s welfare by introducing games and activities that will stimulate their brain, let them develop problem-solving skills, and help boost their confidence. Enrichment sessions are a great way of working together with your dog in a fun and stimulating way, and strengthen the dog-owner bond.
Group Walks
Our group walks are a great way to experience new smells, sounds, sights, and meet unfamiliar dogs and people, in a semi controlled environment. With regular practise, and setting your dog up with successful experiences, you can help desensitize them to noise and distraction, and teach them to stay calm in crowded streets and new unfamiliar situations. Our group walks are supervised by our behaviourist.
Pet Dog Ambassador Program
Do you want your dog to be crowned a real dog Ambassador? The Pet Dog Ambassador Program is a credentialing program that consists of 5 training levels, where learning and growing together with your dog is the main focus. The levels build on each other and complexity will increase when higher levels are attained. A small sample of things taught are recall, emergency stop, leave it, and car manners. The Pet Dog Ambassador Program is training within a fun environment, while being recognized for your efforts. This program is suitable for dogs 4 months old and up.
Responsible Dog Owners Course
