These trainers conduct mainly manners classes in Singapore. They are also likely to use only a force-free, positive reinforcement pedagogy based on science.

The infamous Cesar Millan is usually their gold standard for training, so don’t say anything bad about him in front of them! Oops!
These trainers usually do not have any education in dog training, besides “experience”. These trainers conduct mainly obedience classes in Singapore. They are also likely to be completely aversive (leash pops, corrections), or “balanced” trainers – meaning that they use a mixture of positive and negative training techniques and equipment.
