Basic Dog Psychology & Behavior Training 1 - Training samsway

I founded this company early 2014. When I moved to my new neighborhood, I noticed there were many dogs at their front yard left alone, looking bored. My friends were also complaining how bad they feel when they have to send their dogs to boarding when they travel and mostly left alone in a cage . Furthermore, when I went for a walk, I noticed that most dogs pull their owners and the walk doesn’t seem pleasant and both owners and dogs were tense. So, that prompted me to do better research and why this is happening. After doing some extensive research, I realized that as a dog owner, there are many things we are doing wrongly. Hence, I decided to look into this issue seriously. After quitting a sales director job from a corporate company, I was in the midst of realigning myself and deciding what to pursue in my life passionately. I am always instinctively good with animals, and I can cook well. I made a decision and by now I’m very sure you know what I decided to pursue when reading this profile - wink.

I DECIDED TO START A HOMECARE SERVICES FOR DOGS - where i go to their house when owners are working or travelling, I walk the dogs, shower them if needed, clean their poop and pee and most of the time I just wash the front yard. And I was very happy.

I decided to start a dog home boarding service after many requests from my customers.

Before starting, I decided to train myself with a professional dog trainer. I started contacting some of the reputable dog training companies to inquire about dog trainer’s courses, and I found it very expensive and the training module was not specific nor transparent, and no specific timeline on training completion.

So I started looking online for alternative training, and I found many courses where you can enroll, affordable, and it’s accredited with proper certifications. I got myself certified in DOG PSYCHOLOGY from Dog Psychology and 101, EMERGENCY ANIMAL SHELTER from University at Albany, State University of New York, ANIMAL WELFARE from Ethology Institute Cambridge, and Understanding Dog Emotion and cognition from Duke University.

I was running a very successful home boarding business, and clients started requesting to train their dogs, self trained by watching The Dog whisperer show and with theories that i learnt online, I became very good in dog training.

Many were still doubtful with my credentials despite being one of the most sought after dog trainer in Malaysia especially in solving domesticated dog's common bad dog behavior issues and basic obedience training. So I decided to learn from the best, Cesar Milan The Dog Whisperer himself.

I worked harder, got shortlisted to participate in Season 1 Cesar's Recruit : Asia and I was one of the

Top 8 Finalist and was directly mentored by Cesar Milan himself. I also had the privilege to be mentored by Cheri Wulff Lucas, one of Cesar's Master Trainer and notable dog behaviourist. Then , I flew to the United States in Feb 2017 to complete my full fundamental training on dog behaviour and training with Cesar Milan himself. I became the first student from Malaysia to complete his fundamental 1 and fundamental 2 programs.
