About Smartdoggy Academy
Smartdoggy Academy is a pet training provider operating islandwide across Singapore, listed at a mid-range price point ($$). The business is KakiList verified and registered with ACRA. It holds a Google rating of 4.8 out of 5 based on 20 reviews — a small sample, so that figure should be treated as directional rather than conclusive. The academy is based at 48 Woodleigh Park, Singapore 357844, and accepts enquiries via WhatsApp, phone, or the online contact form.
When reaching out, it helps to share your dog's size, breed, and temperament, as these factors influence which training programme is the most appropriate fit. Bring along vaccination records, as reputable training providers typically require proof of up-to-date vaccinations before a dog joins group sessions. It is worth asking whether a trial visit or introductory session is available so you can observe the training environment and assess whether the approach suits your dog's disposition. Clarify whether sessions are conducted at the Woodleigh Park premises, at another location, or through a mobile or home-visit arrangement, and discuss whether you are looking for a one-off behavioural consultation or an ongoing training schedule.
To get started, reach out to Smartdoggy Academy directly via WhatsApp or phone to describe your dog's breed, age, and any specific behavioural goals, and ask about available session slots and pricing before committing to a programme.

We engaged Lucas through a recommendation from a friend who had a very positive experience with him. As my family is a first-time dog owner, we really learned great deal from Lucas as he was able to tailor the trainings to suit the needs of the family. One aspect of the training which I appreciate a lot is his explanation of a dog's psychology which has helped us to tremendously in manage our dog's behaviour and relationship. I would highly recommend anyone to Lucas if you want to have a relationship and experience with your pets.

Our Border Collie pup, Max had quite a fair bit of behavioral issues (guarding, barking at the door/strangers, pulling on leash etc) and we found Lucas on Google who is a life-saver. Max is so much calmer these days dealing with new situations and people. He learnt how to make appropriate decisions and look to us for support. It's such a joy taking him on walks and runs, and now we are with Lucas on agility classes. Lucas has been most patient and generous in imparting his experience and knowledge with us and definitely a winner if you are looking beyond just obedience, but learning to develop a trust relationship with your dog to experience the urban life with you and maximizing these incredible moments together.

Lucas is a very experienced and professional dog trainer. Under Lucas effective training method, he managed to put my dog's barking and finger nipping issues well under control. I will not hesitate to recommend him to anyone whose dogs need obedience training. Definitely 5 stars for him. Thanks Lucas!

Lucas understands dogs so well. If you encounter problems with your new puppy/dog, you should definitely talk to Lucas. His method works!! We tried 2 other trainers but our puppy kept nipping everyone in the family and the situation just got worse and worse. It was a nightmare. One session with Lucas we can already see an improvement in the puppy's behaviour. We will continue to practise what he taught us. Thumbs up for Lucas👍👍

We engaged Lucas to help us with our little puppy and his advice and help was really beneficial for us in managing our little puppy. Not only did Lucas conduct training our puppy, he also gave us insights on how to properly manage and fully optimize our puppy's growth through diet plans and training methods. My family is very thankful for Lucas's help and would strongly recommend him to first time dog owners like myself!!

Contact Smartdoggy Academy directly for a specific quote tailored to your dog's profile. See the full pet training cost guide for Singapore →
What vaccinations does Smartdoggy Academy require?›
Most reputable dog training providers in Singapore require proof that your dog is current on core vaccinations before joining any group or facility-based session. For dogs, this typically means the DHPP vaccine (covering distemper, hepatitis, parvovirus, and parainfluenza) and a valid rabies vaccination. If sessions involve close contact with other dogs, bordetella (kennel cough) vaccination is also commonly required. Vaccination records are usually expected to be within the past 12 months and should be issued by a licensed veterinarian. Bring the original vaccination booklet or a digital certificate to your first session. Contact Smartdoggy Academy directly to confirm their specific vaccination requirements before your dog's first visit.
Is Smartdoggy Academy licensed and insured?›
Smartdoggy Academy is registered with ACRA and has been verified by KakiList, meaning operating details and contact channels have been confirmed by a real person. For pet training providers in Singapore, the Animal and Veterinary Service (AVS) under NParks primarily regulates boarding and grooming facilities rather than training services specifically, so a mandatory AVS licence may not apply in this context. That said, it is reasonable to ask Smartdoggy Academy directly whether they carry any professional liability or pet insurance coverage in the event that a dog is injured or involved in an incident during a session. Understanding their protocols for handling reactive or anxious dogs is also advisable before your first visit. Visit the facility, check the vaccination policy, and confirm insurance before drop-off.
