Dr-Dogs

Scallop got his first socialization experience with other dogs today! We decided to bring him along to Dr-Dogs (http://www.dr-dogs.com/) to sign up for their Comprehensive Obedience Class Training over at Hougang Avenue 1. This particular school is different from others as it has a club - AKCC (Aljunied-Kembangan Canine Club) which is affiliated to Paya Lebar Zone 5 RC. We met up with trainer Stanley Koh and his coordinator Serene Leow half an hour before the start of their existing class to register and confirm Scallop into the next class (Sundays 4.30pm-6pm slot).

Stanley was kind enough to spare some time training Scallop to walk on a leash and this time around, Scallop was so much more accepting as compared to when he's at home. In the midst of the training, the first student, a mini poodle arrive! Poodle was literally pulling on his owner's leash to get close to Scallop! It was all such a funny spectacle! Scallop was totally stock still like a statue while Poodle was sniffing him from nose to tail! Hahaha! Pity we did not take any photos nor videos... :(

A short while later, the other students started arriving. The class has quite a number of Mini Schnauzers and Scallop quickly become the center of attraction being the new dog. It was real amusing to see him standing still and being mass molested by the other dogs, all the while with his tail down between his hind legs! Occasionally, he will start his own sniffing but only to dogs smaller in size... Overall, it's a good experience for him. Something we noticed, every single dog were pulling their owners to get to the training grounds as if they love their weekly sessions. We hope Scallop will be the same.

Cost of Scallop's class : S$420
