About "Paws In The City Dog Training"
Paws In The City Dog Training is a dog training service operating islandwide across Singapore, listed at a mid-range price point ($$) and verified by KakiList. The business is registered with ACRA. It holds a perfect 5/5 rating on Google, though this is based on 12 reviews — a small sample that should be treated as directional rather than conclusive.
When reaching out, it helps to share your dog's size, breed, and general temperament, as these factors shape the training approach and session structure. Having your dog's vaccination records to hand is advisable before any in-person session. If you are new to the service, ask whether an initial trial or assessment visit is available so the trainer can gauge your dog's baseline behaviour. Clarify whether sessions are conducted at a fixed location — the listed address is 463 River Valley Road, #05-10 — or whether the trainer comes to you, and discuss how frequently sessions should be scheduled to maintain progress.
To get started, reach out via WhatsApp, phone, or the online enquiry form to describe your dog and your training goals, and ask about available slots and session structure.

I engaged Theresa’s help as my adopted dog has leash reactivity and used to lunge at other dogs during walks. Theresa patiently taught us pattern games to manage the reactivity and training strategies to help my dog learn and gain more confidence. She also taught me how to do cooperative care for my dog. She is a very patient and knowledgeable trainer. And if my dog, Kara can give the rating, she will give 10 stars instead! My dog and I truly enjoyed all our training sessions.

Theresa is a warm, generous and experienced trainer. When I first got this puppy he was a handful of energy with a not much attention span. He would get distracted and be sniffing out a trail. Once training started with Theresa, his behaviour improved in leaps and bounds. He really learnt to focus through Theresa’s training exercises. His behaviour also improved during his walks out in the park and around the house. Theresa is a trainer who gives you with the fundamentals and reasons behind the training. My puppy really loved the training sessions and was always keen to learn more and do more with Theresa. I would recommend Theresa to dog owners who want to build a good foundation of training with their dogs, and have the tools to continue with their own training even after the end of Theresa’s training sessions.

Theresa was very patient and professional and taught great skills to set us up for success with our 5mo cavapoo puppy. We engaged her soon after we brought our puppy home and through each weekly sessions we can see how much our puppy has been building confidence and improved! Theresa gave us the confidence as new puppy owners to help our puppy start right with her generous sharing of tips, materials and troubleshooting with our queries. If you are looking to engage a professional to help you and your puppy start right, Theresa from Paws In The City is definitely highly recommended!

Theresa is an absolute joy to work with. I got in touch with her even before I brought my puppy Kishmish home. I wanted to make sure my Poodle-Chihuahua mix gets the right training from the get go and I couldn't be happier. A massive thanks to Theresa, my puppy Kishmish LOVED the training sessions and always wanted to learn more. Both Kishmish and I used to look forward to our Sunday sessions because it was so much FUN! As a first time puppy owner, I was clueless about so many things. Theresa not only allayed my fears but taught me so much - from de-sensetizing my puppy to different sounds and scenarios and teaching her foundational cues, to leash walking and paying attention to the body language of my pup. Most importantly, Theresa made me realize that training need not be stressful. It's one of the most effective ways to learn your pup's language and communicate better with your fur kid! Theresa was always available to answer any questions and used to send valuable reading material before sessions, which helped me help my puppy. I am grateful that Kishmish received positive training from day 1 and she got such a lovely teacher! Kishmish's training is now over but had there been more sessions, I would have signed up asap.

Paws in the city designed a bespoke curriculum for my special needs dog, Bronte. Bronte is a senior dog, rescued from a puppy mill. She had a lot of issues with reactivity and is also deaf. Theresa created a sign language for Bronte- which is incredibly effective. We did a wide range of exercises and each session was impeccably prepared. I received follow up notes and homework assignments and Theresa gladly received my progress reports. She was so kind, patient and understanding, Bronte absolutely loves her. Initially, Bronte was more a problem for me than a pleasure, I had found it so hard to bond with her, I’m writing this review with her asleep on my lap, my best little friend and star pupil. Thank you, Paws in the city!

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does "Paws In The City Dog Training" charge?›
Paws In The City Dog Training is listed at a mid-range price point ($$), but specific per-session or package rates are not published on this listing. In the Singapore market, dog training sessions typically range from around S$80 to S$250 per session depending on format (group class versus private one-to-one), the trainer's experience, and session duration. Package deals covering multiple sessions are common and usually offer a lower per-session cost. Before booking, confirm whether the quoted rate covers the full session or whether add-ons such as transport to your location, training materials, or follow-up notes are charged separately. Ask whether a multi-session package is available and what the cancellation or rescheduling policy is. See the full Pet Training cost guide for Singapore →
What vaccinations does "Paws In The City Dog Training" require?›
For dog training services in Singapore, trainers and group class operators typically require proof that your dog is up to date on core vaccinations, including DHPP (distemper, hepatitis, parvovirus, and parainfluenza) and rabies. Bordetella (kennel cough) vaccination is often required where dogs will be in close proximity to others, such as group training classes. Vaccination records are generally expected to be current within the past 12 months. It is worth confirming the exact requirements with Paws In The City Dog Training directly before your first session, as individual trainers may have their own policies. Bring a copy of your dog's vaccination booklet or digital records to the first appointment.
Is "Paws In The City Dog Training" licensed and insured?›
Paws In The City Dog Training is registered with ACRA and has been verified by KakiList, meaning operating details and contact channels have been confirmed. The listing does not record any AVS (Animal and Veterinary Service) licence, which is primarily required for boarding and grooming facilities rather than training services specifically — so the absence of a listed AVS licence is not necessarily a concern for a training provider. That said, it is worth asking the trainer directly whether they carry professional insurance that would cover incidents involving your dog during a session. Clarify what the protocol is should your dog be injured or fall ill in the trainer's care, and confirm any liability terms before committing to a package. Visit the facility, check the vaccination policy, and confirm insurance before drop-off.
