Taught in Los Angeles · Working in Phuket
Reactivity, pulling on the lead, a dog who will not listen: none of these is a permanent condition, whatever the last trainer told you. Development begins with an assessment, in person in Phuket or online from anywhere.

Who is Kim
In 2019 she was sitting at a desk. Two and a half years later she owned a World of Dog Training branch in South Bay Los Angeles. What she said on the day it opened: “Thank you for a second chance to do what I love.”
Board and develop, behaviour modification, separation anxiety protocols: she worked all of it. The protection work she did alongside one of the more serious working-dog crews in Southern California.
Kim is Thai. She came back to Phuket carrying a standard she had learned somewhere else, and she has not lowered it since.

01 / START
฿3,000 · 45 min
Everyone starts here. We work out what is happening, what has to change, and which program gets you there. The fee is credited against any program you book inside 14 days.
02 / LEARN
฿29,700 · 5 sessions
We work in your home, or on the street where the trouble starts. What you learn is the handling; the commands are the easy part.
03 / RESET
from ฿99,000 · 2 weeks and up
Your dog stays with us and works every day: on-lead obedience, then social manners, then off-lead. Follow-up sessions come with the dog when it goes home.
04 / REPAIR
from ฿214,500
Bites, resource guarding, real aggression. The assessment always comes first, because this is not something anyone should sell off a price card.
05 / FOUNDATION
฿33,000 · 3 to 7 months
For dogs between 3 and 7 months. Environmental exposure and foundation work at this age quietly decide the next twelve years.
06 / ANYWHERE
Ask for the rate
You film the problem and we work it together. Bangkok, Chiang Mai, Samui and Long Beach all get the same hour.
Work in person off the island, which means Bangkok and the neighbouring cities, costs ฿12,000 per day plus travel. A cancellation inside 24 hours is charged in full.
Board and develop, answered
The California group classes run in Compton, Wednesday from 5pm to 9pm and Saturday from 11am to 3pm. Private sessions there are by appointment. See the California operation.

Jeremy
Jeremy Hayes has years of experience with every breed, from family pets to high-drive working dogs, and he runs the Compton field sessions.
Jeremy Hayes is a dog trainer with years of experience working with dogs of all breeds, ranging from family pets to high-drive working dogs. His approach is rooted in balanced training, using the appropriate tools and methods for the individual dog while keeping the owner's lifestyle and goals at the center of the training.
His experience extends into advanced working-dog development, including obedience, behaviour modification, protection and bite work, detection, and dog sports. One of his proudest accomplishments has been developing his explosive detection K9 from the ground up, successfully completing a certified detection course and going on to work real-world events as a K9 team. He has also trained and titled dogs in multiple dog sports, continuing to expand his knowledge across different areas of the working-dog world.
What Jeremy enjoys most about training is that no two dogs are exactly alike. Regardless of breed, every dog brings its own personality, drives, strengths, and challenges, and he believes becoming a better trainer means learning how to bring out the best in the individual dog in front of him.
Why a PPD
When the job is keeping a family safe, a smart security system no longer covers it. Cameras and alarms are reactive by design; they sound after a window has broken or a lock has given way, and the family then waits precious minutes for help to arrive. A personal protection dog works ahead of that moment. It is a living shield, intelligent and fiercely loyal, and it stops a threat before it reaches the doorstep. Here is what the evidence says about a dedicated family guardian.
Invest in protection that does more than watch over your family. It stands between them and harm.
The 1% selection funnel
When you invest in a personal protection dog, the hours of training are the smaller part of what you pay for. You are paying for a genetic rarity. Fewer than 1% of all dogs have the neurological blueprint, the environmental confidence and the rock-solid temperament that protecting a family requires. We filter out the other 99% so that you take no risk with your family's safety. The funnel below is how a dog reaches that last 1%.
We reject dozens of high-quality dogs so that the single guardian entering your home is an uncompromising asset to your family's peace of mind.
Programs
Prices are in Thai baht, converted from the California list at ฿33 to the dollar and rounded to the nearest hundred, and bookings go through Kim. A cancellation inside 24 hours costs ฿2,000. Board and develop asks a ฿16,500 deposit, which does not come back, because it is holding your dog's place against everyone else who wants it.

Board & train
People search for board and train, so we call it that. What you are buying is a development programme with a written standard at the end of it, and the handling instruction that keeps the result alive at home.
Two weeks and up
On-lead obedience and social manners, for a dog whose household has lost the thread. The stay is set by what the dog needs, not by a package.
from ฿99,000
Five to six weeks
Off-lead behaviours added on top of a settled foundation, with public testing before the dog goes home.
฿181,500 to ฿214,500
Assessment first
Bite history, resource guarding, real aggression. We look at the dog before anyone quotes a price, because this is not a package.
from ฿214,500
After the dog goes home
Maintenance is sold by the month and by level. Pick the tier that matches where the team is, and the cost of each session falls the more you train. Prices are in Thai baht, converted from the California list at ฿33 to the dollar and rounded to the nearest hundred.
Tier 01 · Up to 6 lessons a month
฿11,500a month
New puppies, basic obedience and early environmental socialisation.
Six lessons would cost ฿19,800 at the drop-in rate. Attend four and the membership has paid for itself; attend all six and each session comes to about ฿1,900.
About ฿1,900 a session
Tier 02 · Up to 8 lessons a month
฿18,100a month
Advanced obedience, public access skills and a first introduction to drive.
Eight lessons would cost ฿26,400 at the drop-in rate. Use the full allowance and each session comes to about ฿2,300.
About ฿2,300 a session
Tier 03 · Up to 10 lessons a month
฿26,400a month
Controlled bite work, decoy integration, scenario training and deployment drills.
Ten lessons would cost ฿33,000 at the drop-in rate. This tier carries the decoy equipment, the field setups and the insurance that bite work requires, and it is priced for the handler who needs high-frequency tuning.
About ฿2,600 a session
Unused lessons expire at midnight on the last day of the billing cycle and do not carry over. A membership needs a card on file and renews automatically, on a three-month or six-month initial term. Non-members pay the drop-in rate of ฿4,000 to ฿5,000 a session.

Maintenance training
Every dog we sell and every dog that finishes a programme is eligible for maintenance, and we would rather you used it. A finished dog that goes twelve months without work is not a finished dog any more.
