Second Chance Shelter - Assistant Dog Training Program

When I arrived at the shelter it was amazing being greeted by so many dogs. There are quite a few that have lost legs and they hop around happily. The course itself was so fun, the trainer is very relaxed and teaches in a very laid back way. Always answering your questions. The time with the dogs was great, I’ve never owned a dog and it was really heart warming getting to know them all. We picked a few dogs each and taught them to walk with us and jump over the obstacles. We went to the beach with them , visited cafes and I learnt so much. I wish I had signed up for longer. I will miss my doggie friends.

This course was a great experience. I learned a lot about training dogs and getting along with many different dogs, as well as dog behaviors in different situations. The trainer was really pleasant and knowledgeable. The dogs were also really nice and lovable, we trained them at the shelter and on the beaches. I highly recommend this if you want to do good for these dogs, and develop your skills with dogs at the same time.

I spent a brilliant two weeks learning to train doggies with Soi Dogs in Pattaya. I had such a great time, the dogs were lovely, and I met some great people too. I learned a lot of skills that I can apply to training my own dog now I'm back. Plus, it was really nice to actually DO something rather than my usual holiday activity of just sitting around on the beach.
