Why choose an independently certified professional dog trainer or certified dog behaviour consultant?

Because just as you wouldn’t see someone who isn’t a qualified doctor, you wouldn’t leave your dog’s education to unqualified individuals.

Certified Professional Dog Trainer, Certified Dog Behaviour Consultant, Kang Nee of cheerfuldogs.com

As a scientist trained in the study of animal behaviour, with a Ph.D. in Zoology from the National University of Singapore, Dr Kang Nee built a distinguished career as an independently certified professional dog behaviour consultant and trainer. Throughout her active career, she proudly maintained rigorous standards, adhering to international standards of practice and codes of ethics set by leading organisations in the industry.

Even in retirement, her legacy to learning lives on through her published papers, her contributions to shelter animal welfare, and the collection of free educational resources and illustrated guides to help pet parents embrace a “Do No Harm” science-based approach to dog training and animal care, as encapsulated in her motto, “Cheerful Dogs, Happy People” .

How to choose a certified professional dog trainer or dog behaviour consultant?

Certified professional dog trainers and dog behaviour consultants do not all use the same training methods. We advocate using ethical, humane, rewards-based techniques that help your dog feel safe in their learning environment.
