Hey there, I'm new here. And i just bought a K9. She is quite smart but the problem is, i donno how to train her. So iwas hoping if thee is any trainer around Penang or B.M? One that i can go to or somebody can just help me?
there's obedience training held at Japanese Garden in Penang by MKA weekly. perhaps u could enquire from MKA office there and register ur girl for obedience classes :)
About the training, Sunday 10a.m. in the morning as "hunter" mentioned the venue Japanese Garden go there and have a look. If your dog not yet finish the 3 vaccinations plz don't bring her there...
Hi there, Just incase you are wondering where about is the Japanese Garden located, it's the field behind Caltex station (before you reach Convent Green Lane)... It's next to Double Dragon Restaurant. We'll be there on Every Sunday at 10am.. hope to see you there!
erm... Thanks for all that. But i'm a bit ignorant to this kinnda stuff. What is MKA? What is this 3 vaccination shot? i know that my dog has taken one and will have to take one tom. but what does it do? BTW, can i just go there and watch but don't bring my dog? cos i stay at kedah and thats quite a journey. How old must my dog be to join the class? fees?
actually u should consider joinin' the classes and training the dog on ur own instead of hiring personal trainers.. it's fun to do obedience with ur dog, if u have the time, that is.
There are actually personal dog trainer available in penang. If you do want the contact number, you mail me personally at woofmeowoof@hotmail.com But for me, i dont really prefer personal training, as
Your dog dont get to socialize with other dogs
You dont get to exchange doggie stuff/information/discussion with other dog owner
You'll get to know more friends and your dog too!!
For obedience, maybe your dog wont get used to the command with other dogs around or open space enviroment.
We get to see alot of different breeds, sometimes unusual breeds that we dont get to see everyday.
MKA is Malaysian Kennel Association. The club that normally organize obedience training class and dog shows for us. As long as your dog finishes the 3 jabs, he/she can join the class. There is obedince class held in penang and ipoh/taiping too. You can refer to this website for more information
The 3 vaccination jabs is for your dog own good. It will be best not to bring your dog out before it complete all jabs, as it will face the risk of contractind some virus or disease. ~Cherio~ Penang Lang? Click Here~! Silkies Owner? Click Here~!
also, if send for personal training, it might take time for the dog to get used to your voice instead of the personal trainer's voice... different ppl got different tone of voice when giving command, so it'll be a little hard there.
i prefer group training as well~ it's like a primary school with many classmates !~
ahhaha...that is wat i get in return when i join obedience class. i've now stop attending class but still stop by occasionally. Jaz gets confused by show command and obedience, eg when i stop walking, she sit instead of stacking i'm hoping to join again after jaz retire ~Cherio~ Penang Lang? Click Here~! Silkies Owner?

I plan to retire her after she got her first title, then let her rest d..but i dunno if lisa plan is the same as mine. Her share is 70% so she has the say...ahhaha ~Cherio~ Penang Lang? Click Here~! Silkies Owner? Click Here~!
but seriously, after a dog has achienved the Mal. Ch title, are there actually other more titles to gain :/ ??? i thought Mal Ch is already the top title that one dog could get.. (okay i know, stupid question :/)
btw, training at Japanese Garden in Penang is at morning? wouldn't it be hot for owners and dogs? ours here is at evenings
emm...yes i know it'd be fun to do training with my dog. just thought that it'd be better to have some help from a trainer. not that i'm really gonna hire a personal trainer lah...just asking to see if there's any in case i really need one..
hi... i totally agree with what you say about training in a group. just that my dog hasn't been trained before and i thought that by joining a group, he might not pay full attention to what he's being taught coz there are so many distractions and so many of his furry friends. so just to ask around lah... i'll email you when i want the contact number. thank you!
my dog also did not join any sort of training till the age of 7 month. She was not used to having so many dogs around her as she has got wat ppl call 'single child syndrome' She was barking like mad on her first and also continues few training. But after socializing for some time, she got better and better and now she can even go for show without barking all the time and snapping at all the ppl there. For some dog, maybe training in a group might make your dog pay more attention to you instead like my dog which is lack of security when she's outside... anyway, personal trainer also cost a lot.. ~Cherio~ Penang Lang?

hmm....my dog is quite 'old' liao lah...already 2 yrs plus...so might be more diffucult to train..that's why i thought of seeking the help of a personal trainer. (btw, are the trainers good?) anyway maybe i'll go check out the training. it's held on every Sunday right?
2+yrs old not old lah....I trained one of my dog when he was 3+yrs old no problems at all... the only problem is owner has to be "PATIENT". Pay a visit to the Penang MKA obedience training ground "Japanese Garden" ....yupe every Sunday time 10am....
