Nurturing bonds between dogs and humans through compassion and education is at the heart of Joy Neo's training philosophy. With a background filled with beloved petsā€”from hamsters and chicks to her two rescue dogs, Tobi and Dashā€”Joyā€™s passion for animals is deeply rooted. Her lifelong love for dogs led her to advocate for positive reinforcement methods, believing that this humane approach enhances the relationship between human and canine. Joy's journey has been one of continuous learning; she's a Certified Professional Dog Trainer-Knowledge Assessed (CPDT-KA) and a Certified Fear Free Professional, and she's currently pursuing a Diploma in Canine Behavior from The International School for Canine Psychology & Behavior. Her mission is simple yet powerful: to help as many dogs as possible by empowering their owners with the tools to build a trusting and loving bond.

JoyNeoā€™s training services encompass two main types of programs: private home training and behavior guidance training. Private home training introduces dogs to essential life skills, helping new pet parents understand the basics of teaching and integrating a dog into their family. This approach encourages dog owners to be directly involved in the training process, ensuring a well-rounded learning experience. For owners facing specific behavioral concerns, Joyā€™s behavior guidance program addresses issues like reactivity, over-sensitivity to stimuli, and fear responses. In rare cases, she also offers board-and-train services, but her focus remains on home-based training, which keeps the dog-owner bond at the heart of the process.


One of Joyā€™s hallmarks is her customized approach, ensuring each training plan aligns with the unique needs of each dog and owner. By acknowledging breed-specific traits and individual behavioral tendencies, Joyā€™s training adapts to a dogā€™s specific motivators while considering the owner's preferences and lifestyle, creating a balanced and enjoyable training journey.


Science-Driven Training with a Heart

JoyNeo uses science-based positive reinforcement, building on the latest research on canine behavior. Her approach seeks to identify and harness what motivates each dog, helping them understand desired behaviors through positive associations rather than through dominance or intimidation, a method she firmly avoids. Joy emphasizes the importance of structure and boundaries in a way that strengthens the bond between dogs and their owners.


As part of her commitment to humane training, Joyā€™s expertise is backed by credentials from the Certification Council for Professional Dog Trainers (CPDT-KA) and the Animal & Veterinary Service (AVS). Her extensive knowledge of psychology has further enriched her training techniques, allowing her to bridge human and canine psychology effectively. She actively updates her skillset through conferences, seminars, and continuous study, so her clients benefit from the most current, scientifically backed practices.

JoyNeoā€™s training programs are highly interactive and involve the owners at every step, empowering them to understand their dog's body language, motivations, and behavior. Each program kicks off with a personalized meeting in the clientā€™s home to understand their needs, goals, and environment, allowing Joy to tailor a curriculum that best fits the family dynamic. Adjustments are made as clients progress, ensuring flexibility and an individualized approach.


Joy believes that communication is central to a successful training journey, so her clients receive ongoing support throughout the program. Joyā€™s clients often describe her as not only a trainer but also a confidante who listens without judgment. Even after the training concludes, Joy stays connected, organizing regular playdates and meet-ups where she catches up with her ā€œgraduatesā€ and their owners.


Practical, Real-World Training

Joyā€™s sessions take place in both indoor and outdoor settings, exposing dogs to various stimuli they may encounter in everyday life. Her hands-on, practical training format goes beyond typical obedience, equipping dogs and owners with the skills to communicate effectively in real-life situations. Her dedication to fostering deep, trusting relationships with clients sets her apart and ensures each familyā€™s unique goals are met.

Joy Neoā€™s training programs are diverse and customizable, from Private Home Training for foundational skills to Board & Train courses ideal for busy clients. The Private Home Training program, an eight-session course, covers essentials like potty training and obedience for puppies and first-time dog owners, offering additional WhatsApp support for ongoing guidance. Her one-on-one Behavior Guidance Training addresses challenges like leash reactivity, resource guarding, and aggression, while the Board & Train option provides a more immersive experience with daily progress updates. Joy ensures that each training program is personalized, science-based, and fear-free, making her the Pawrents' Choice favorite for her dedication to enhancing canine-human relationships with empathy and expertise.Ā  JoyNeo's recognition as Favorite Dog Trainer at the Pawrents' Choice Awards is truly well-deserved.
