When reaching out to Bark of Duty, it helps to share details about your pet's size, breed, and temperament upfront, as these factors will inform which training programme is most appropriate. Bring along or have ready any vaccination records, as responsible trainers typically require proof of up-to-date vaccinations before commencing sessions. Ask about whether a trial visit or introductory session is available to assess how your pet responds to the trainer and the training approach. Clarify whether sessions are conducted at your home, at a fixed location near 6 Balmoral Crescent, or at another agreed venue islandwide, and discuss whether a recurring training schedule suits your pet's learning pace better than ad-hoc bookings.
To take the next step, contact Bark of Duty via WhatsApp, phone, or the enquiry form on their listing to share your pet's profile and arrange an initial session or consultation.

The best thing we did for our Goldie Joey was Bark of Duty! Christine helped us with understanding dog aggression. Why it happens and how to manage it. It made our lives and especially our late Joey’s life happier. As he was more understood. Christine was patient and logical in her explanations. This helped us understand dog physiology better. We were taught the importance of giving dogs their own space /safe zone as well as how to walk without getting pulled. Joey was a happier pup since Bark of Duty came along. Would highly recommend engaging them!
Christine is a very good dog trainer. I like that her instructions are easy to follow, she explains it clearly and then she writes it out point by point for you to practice at home. She understood my dog quite well and adjusted the training for his needs. Highly recommend her. Thank you, Christine!
Christine is hands down the best "dog whisperer" we have met, and one of the best thing to happen to our cockapoo, Pepper 🐶! Having gone through a few "popular" trainers in the past with little to no improvement in separation anxiety and destructive behaviour, we were really driven to our wits' end. Fortunately, a friend recommended Christine to us, and from day 1, we could tell that she could understand Pepper almost telepathically! Of course, understanding and correcting are totally different challenges, and Christine always comes up with effective methods to solve or problems. Not to mention she's literally a walking encyclopedia of helpful canine-related "lobangs" through her wealth of experience. We highly recommend the 1 on 1 sessions with her, they're always highly customised to Pepper's most urgent needs, and she even summarises the key takeaways for the pawrents for later reviews. Looking back, it's been a fruitful time for all of us, and we are really grateful for someone like Christine to be part of Pepper's growing up journey! Thank you with all our hearts!
We're so grateful to Christine, for her guidance and support in helping our puppy grow up to be such a confident, happy dog! We first engaged Christine for in-home training sessions when our puppy was 3 months old, and it was the best decision. Our puppy was unwell with frequent diarrhoea, yet Christine was able to adapt toilet and crate training so that we could take care of her physical health whilst helping her form a routine. Her flexibility and ability to adapt training to different dogs' needs and personalities is truly impressive. At a wee 3 months, before our puppy was able to go for walks as she hadn't had all her vaccinations, Christine taught us how to socialise her safely to live in this strange human world. It's really paid off now that she is almost 1.5 years old. She's calm and happy around people, other dogs, thunderstorms, vacuums, etc., is confident, and loves life! She is also toilet-trained and can follow basic commands for her safety (recall, heel, place). As anxious first-time puppy parents, Christine patiently guided us through many firsts - our first walk on a leash, first time swimming at a beach, first dog run, pet fair, cafe outing, etc. Our puppy loves Christine and all these adventures we've had together. Thank you Christine and Bark of Duty for all the hard work in our puppy's first few months of life, we're already reaping the rewards of starting right :)
Ollie and I had a wonderful experience with Christine. She was so patient when training Ollie while taking the time to explain to me the whats and whys of her training techniques. Before Christine’s intervention, walking Ollie was a nightmare because he would constantly yank on his leash and I couldn’t get him to listen to me. Every walk left both Ollie and I extremely frustrated. Now, Ollie is so much better behaved and we enjoy our daily walks together. I’m so glad I signed up for these training sessions with Christine and highly recommend her services to any dog parent.

Bark of Duty has not published a fixed price list, and rates for pet training in Singapore typically vary depending on your dog's size, breed, age, and behavioural profile. As a general market reference, basic obedience training sessions in Singapore range from around S$80 to S$200 per session for individual sessions, with package deals often offering a lower per-session rate. Group classes tend to be more affordable than one-to-one sessions. Additional costs to ask about include travel surcharges if the trainer comes to your home, any materials or tools used during training, and whether an initial assessment session is charged separately. Confirm the full fee structure in writing before committing to a programme. See the full pet training cost guide for Singapore →
Most reputable pet trainers and facilities in Singapore require dogs to be current on core vaccinations before participating in any training programme, particularly if sessions involve interaction with other animals. For dogs, this typically means DHPP (distemper, hepatitis, parvovirus, parainfluenza) and rabies vaccinations, generally administered within the past 12 months. Bordetella (kennel cough) vaccination is also commonly required for group classes or any setting involving multiple dogs. You should bring your pet's vaccination booklet or a veterinary certificate to your first session as proof of immunisation. If your pet's vaccinations are not up to date, your vet can advise on a catch-up schedule. Contact Bark of Duty directly to confirm their specific vaccination requirements before your first appointment.
Bark of Duty is ACRA-registered, confirming it operates as a legitimate business entity in Singapore. The KakiList listing has been verified, meaning operating details and contact information have been independently confirmed. For pet training specifically, the Animal and Veterinary Service (AVS) under NParks primarily mandates licensing for boarding and grooming facilities; training services do not carry the same mandatory AVS licensing requirement, so the absence of a listed AVS licence is not necessarily a concern for a training-only provider. That said, it is reasonable to ask the provider whether they carry any professional or public liability insurance in the event a pet is injured during a session. Confirm the insurance position and any liability terms in writing before your pet's first session. Visit the facility or training location, check the vaccination policy, and confirm insurance before drop-off.
If Bark of Duty isn't the right fit, these are other pet training providers on KakiList worth shortlisting. All are independently listed — no affiliate fees, no "featured" sponsorships.
