ANIMALS ASSISTED ACTIVITIES
Dog Obedience Training
MNAWF’s mission is to promote a caring Malaysian society through creating awareness and a balanced approach to animal welfare for the well being of animal and mankind – LOVE ALL LIFE.
A Community Project on Dog Obedience and Agility Training for pet owners in Klang Valley is an Animal Assisted Activities (AAA) Program, a specially organized by MNAWF to enhance the bond between people and their pets.
Our objective is to encourage canine pet owner to have a good time with their pets whilst training them to be sociable and well-behaved at all times. Making sure pets receive the extra care and attention during the program, through our dedicated team of instructors. Instructors are in forging this relationship with the goal to see these animals molded to become loving household pets/companions – “a family dog for the children to romp around with.”
Obedience training is, in fact, critical when it comes to nurturing Responsible Pet Ownership and creating a socially compatible pet. The basic elements such as sit, stay, come, down and heel – help produce a good canine citizen. A well trained dog is a happy dog as it establishes a good bond and communication between your dog and you. And most importantly, you can control your dog.

The Micracle of Animal Assisted Therapy in Malaysia
