Questions owners ask
What do I offer?
Four things: a five-lesson course that teaches you the training method itself, AFCD Large Dog Exemption exam preparation, a puppy potty home visit, and the 11 essential commands.
What does it cost?
Training is from HKD 500 per hour. The five-lesson course is HKD 2,500, and the 90-minute puppy potty visit is HKD 750. The first off-lead readiness assessment is free.
Do you guarantee results?
On two of the services, yes, on stated conditions. If your dog doesn't pass the AFCD exam we keep training at 25% off until they do. If the puppy potty setup still isn't clicking after two weeks — following the plan and keeping the log — you get a full refund.
Where are you based?
I'm based in Sai Kung and train in-home across Hong Kong. If you're in Sai Kung or the New Territories, I can usually reach you sooner.
How much does puppy potty training cost in Hong Kong?
HKD 750 for a single 90-minute in-home visit. I set up your pen and pads, start your puppy on the routine, and leave you a plan to follow, with Day-3 and Day-7 check-ins. If it still isn't working after two weeks — with the plan followed and the log kept — you get a full refund.
What is the AFCD Large Dog Exemption, and can you help my dog pass?
In Hong Kong, a large dog normally has to stay on a lead in public; passing the AFCD Large Dog Exemption Exam lets yours walk off-lead legally. I prepare you and your dog on the routes you actually walk, from HKD 500 a lesson. Don't pass? We keep training at 25% off until you do. Try the free five-minute readiness self-assessment first.
How long does it take to potty train a puppy?
Most puppies are reliably using the right spot within about 14 days once the pen, timing and logging are set up correctly. The full plan is free to read online — the 90-minute home visit is for when your flat, your timing or your puppy's habits need hands-on help.
Do you train adult dogs, or only puppies?
Both. Puppy potty training is puppy-specific, but the five-lesson method course and the 11 essential commands work at any age — they teach you the tools to train your dog yourself, whatever their age.
