We are grateful for Joy’s invaluable help in training our pup, Brady. Right from our initial consultation, it was evident that Joy possessed a deep understanding of canine behavior and training techniques. She quickly assessed brady’s personality and tailored her approach accordingly, which immediately put us at ease. Joy’s ability to customize the training sessions based on Brady’s specific needs and our concerns was incredibly reassuring. Would highly recommend her to all first-time pawrents!

So glad we found Joy to help us get through puppyhood! Dusty was so much crazier than we expected. It was also super hard to figure out what to do since online sources were so overwhelming and sometimes contradictory.
Saw improvement literally after the first training session and Joy was also very patient in guiding us over text between training sessions even when we had stupid questions lmao.
Training sessions were comprehensive and her explanations were clear. She always took Dusty’s personality into account and taught us to adapt accordingly. She even customized the sessions based on what we were struggling with since new problems emerged as Dusty grew up.
We’re so proud of Dusty’s progress and he also loves her so definitely good vibes!

Joy is a wonderful trainer… One thing for certain is that she teaches you how to train your dog with love, absolutely not with fear. she 100% discourages that. everything is about rewarding the dog at the right time. Not every trainer is like that, which makes the training process fun instead of stressful for our Cola. Cola jumps with excitement whenever she sees Joy because she knows more food is coming! Lastly, the “after training” service is superb! We know Joy will always be there for our Cola 😊
Thanks, Joy! It was great having you as part of our Pawrent growth process.

Joy has been amazing as Hiro’s trainer. From a super hyper pup he’s now a slightly more polished young man 🙂 – full credit to Joy and the patience she rendered with Hiro and us guiding him and us in the process. She worked around our limitations and always came up with creative ways to help Hiro along his training journey. Thank you Joy!

Joy is superb trainer and dog lover. She’s dedicated to her role and is constantly checking on the progress at each phase of the training as well as reminding us what to do. Snowy and us definitely benefited from these series of engagement and the training have improve Snowy’s characters and he is so much easier to handle nowadays. Heartfelt appreciation to Joy!

We are so glad we engaged Joy to learn how to train and teach our puppy properly. Joy was patient, clear in her explanations and willingly provided advice whenever! She has helped us immensely and we’re so thankful.

We went to Joy for help to integrate our new bichon puppy Hana with our 2 year olds toy poodles Asher and Amber. The 2 older dogs could not stand the sight of Hana initially and would attack her as a gang. Joy observed their interactions and pointed out to us each of the dogs’ behaviour and social interaction characteristics. With these information, she planned out the training schedule to integrate Asher with Hana, and Amber and Hana and subsequently all the 3 together. She gave us useful handles how to practice when she’s not with us. She guided us how to change plans when events turned out not as expected or a new reaction from the dogs arise. She listened to us, our struggles and feedback and adjusted the training appropriately. We are proud to share that the 3 dogs have successfully been integrated within 4 months of training! Thank you Joy for your guidance, training and love for our dogs. You are awesome!

Holly’s journey with socializing with dogs didn’t have the smoothest start. Along the way, we encountered more reactivity towards dogs, birds, balls, and running kids. We tried adjusting our training approach periodically, striving to find what suited Holly best, but often found ourselves hitting a wall shortly after.
We’re incredibly grateful to have found Joy, who has helped evaluate and align our training with Holly. Since our first session with Joy three months ago, we’ve witnessed remarkable progress – less reactivity, more eye contact – while still allowing Holly to enjoy being a dog and meet her needs on our daily walks.
This journey has been immensely rewarding for us and undoubtedly for Holly too. We wouldn’t trade it for anything in the world. Thank you, Joy, you truly are a godsend!
Yvonne Loh
Very happy to get so much help with little Billie, forgotten how to train a very mischievious puppy! Joy was a wealth of knowledge and expertise, always happy to share ideas, contacts, resources. We learnt a lot and would definitely recommend!
Chelsia
Joy is caring and knowledgeable in her approach to training dogs. She catered her trainings to our dogs’ behaviourial needs. In between the sessions, she often checked in on our progress; encouraged and offered advice in order to set our dogs up for success. We are thankful to have learnt a few tips in managing our dogs.

Joy was amazing! She was easy to speak with and understood what we needed to help Bruno grow to be a wonderful doggo! She gave specific and accurate advises to help train Bruno. She knew how to cater to his needs and came up with a plan and a timeline to train him. She is very passionate about dogs and understands as owners where we are lacking to give us recommendations and advises on how to better train and take care of our little one! The journey of learning about Bruno and how to train and take care of him has been great! Thank you Joy!
Pritpal
Joy is a caring and passionate trainer with a huge heart for animals. Our puppy Marley benefitted immensely from her trainings and so did the humans! Joy was generous with her advice on several occasions, and has been an invaluable resource to us in navigating Marley’s puppyhood.
Would highly recommend Joy’s training sessions to all pup parents – it’s potentially life changing!
Stephanie
We are so thankful to have Joy as our trainer. Training Pokey was tough initially as he has very short attention span. However with Joy, he was able to pick things up.
The positive environment Joy created made
training fun for both us and Pokey.
Joy is also very patient with us first time pawrents.
She is always here for us when we needed help with Pokey’s training. Her love for dogs and her job really inspired us.
Thank you Joy💛

It has been wonderful having Joy to train my puppy, Sydney. The whole experience has been nothing short of fun, positive and enjoyable! We look forward to each session every time and Joy always made it fun and stress-free, and that made Sydney all the more eager to learn. Thank you again for training Sydney, Riley and especially the mother here!
Phyllis Yeo
Joy was very easy to talk to and gave us plenty of good tips on how to handle our pup. She catered to his specific behavioral needs and customized his sessions accordingly. Joy is very patient and reads the dog’s behaviors very well. We also were particularly happy that she occasionally arranges play dates / events for her “trainees”. This helps with the socialization training for the pups.
Geraldine
Joy is a really approachable and helpful trainer who shows sincere care about raising our furkids well with positive reinforcement. Atlas used to behave like a starving wolf during walks and eating everything off the floor. But after just one lesson with Joy, her useful tips for us has greatly improved his concentration on us during walks.
More important to us is her responsiveness outside lessons via whatsapp. Esp to first-time pawrents like us, training goes way beyond that few sessions of 1-hr training – it’s a 24/7 process and there are times when we are at our wits’ end and didn’t want to wait till the next lesson to solve the issue. So it really helps that Joy is very helpful in answering our queries outside classes!

As a first time owner, I was absolutely clueless. I don’t know what my dog, Moony would’ve become if I had not gotten Joy’s help with his training. I’m glad to say Moony and I are doing much better now and I’m not breaking down every other day. 😅
Joy has been extremely patient, accommodating and Moony absolutely adores her! Her trainings are not fixed and she’d customise it to each owner and dog’s needs (I think this is very important as every dog have different needs and issues to fix). Apart from just obedience training, she also organised group get together for dogs to socialise in a safe environment. I’m glad to have made a new friend
and have her as part of Moony’s life.
Vanessa Ng
Thank you Trainer Joy for being an integral part of Busbus’s puppyhood! From guiding us — first time pawrents on how to care for her to recommending great resources from books to daycare etc for us. We really can’t thank you enough!
Joy’s passionate and loving teaching ways really resonated with us and busbus — you can tell by how busbus being ALWAYS super enthusiastic to meet Joy!
Whenever we had any questions regarding Busbus’s behaviour— such as her playing with her fur-iends, Joy ALWAYS go above and beyond to guide us and help us to understand busbus better.
Initally, we wanted to wait till busbus is older for training as we thought how can a small 12weeks puppy learn anything given her short attention span? But thats far from the truth! Training starts from Day1 and Joy was definitely a key cornerstone for us!
If anyone is looking for a trainer you can work with and KNOW they love your puppy as much as you do, Joy is the perfect trainer for you!

We needed to engage a trainer for Almond as it’s our first time working with a Dachshund breed. Joy introduce positive reinforcement which was new to us as we were used to a different approach for our former dogs. Through the process, we learned to understand our dog’s behaviours, instead of punishment we gave reward for the desired behaviour and slowly set our dog up for success. Joy listened and understood our challenges and takes the time to help us overcome those together. We would like to thank Joy for designing and customising the training so we can effectively engage with Almond. And we learned to be his advocate instead of instilling fear and anxiousness. We are more aware of Almond’s needs and now plan things from his perspective so that Almond can always count on us as we embark on this meaningful journey together. Thanks Joy!

Took training lessons at home for our puppy Zorro with Joy from Supernova and it was a great experience.
Joy is so patient and friendly, Zorro loves her, and he (and we) learned so much during the training sessions. Joy is also very helpful, there were so many questions I had and she helped answer them and provide all the info needed. She was such a great trainer we will miss these sessions! Highly recommend
Mayya
Thank you joy for reaching out to me for training my little pup pomsky, Dante! Dante was a really fearful dog who was scared of humans as well as anti social before training and his behavior worried me a lot. After many sessions with Joy, I learned how to teach him learn cues and command, which him a more confident dog. I am so glad I chose to contact supernova for dog training.
Vicki
Hooray!! Happy graduation to our little girl Yūki! From not allowing us anywhere near her, our little girl has come a long way to being comfortable with us around her, slowly revealing her playful side and now completing her Basic Obedience training with SuperNova!

Muesli came to us with some routines already in place, but still there were some issues to iron out. Joy came highly recommended by a friend. Joy had worked with her Singapore Specials. Joy was patient in explaining even the smallest things which many might consider common sense. Her training was also customised to our and Muesli’s needs. Her patience to build rapport with Muesli helped in the training. Will definitely recommend Joy to anyone who needs a trainer who is truly passionate about dogs and always have their best interests in mind.
Jeanette Tan
Extending my appreciation to Joy Neo for her tenacity and patience towards Enzo, reached out to her thru reviews and have never turned back because of her positive reinforcement and helpful tips along the way on this journey, highly recommend.
Ho Qicheng
As a first time dog owner and also one that had dog phobia for a large part of my life, engaging Joy was a charm. She helped to explain behaviors and reactions of my dog, and how I should manage/train him. Prior to Aug 2022 where I cannot co-exist with a dog in the same space to now living and sleeping with one, Joy has certainly helped me with this transformational journey. She is very gentle and patient with my bichonpoo who obviously loves her a lot too. Would recommend Joy.

Joy was recommended to us by our friend and aft our experience of having our Golden Retriever to be trained under her – we highly commend Joy as your trainer if you are getting a new pup
Joleen Goh
Our SS, Junior is anxious outdoors and can be
reactive to dogs he is unfamiliar with.
At our first consultation, Joy seeks to understand the root of our problems. She provided personalised guidance using positive reinforcement. Fast forward to the end of our training sessions, Junior is more comfortable outdoors and can be recalled, even while other dogs are around. We are grateful to be able to now walk Junior with confidence!
Fidelis Lee
The phrase ‘do all things with love’ comes to mind when we think of Joy as it is very clear she loves dogs and
loves her job.
We are very fortunate to have engaged Joy to train Stormy. As first time dog owners, we were pretty clueless about dogs and what to expect from a puppy. Joy has a genuine love and a great affinity with dogs. This was apparent right from our first session with her. Stormy was very young and wary of strangers when we first met Joy but he took to her really quickly. Joy has taught us many methods on how to manage Stormy and we have seen him calm down and mature over the last three months under her training.
Joy doesn’t force her philosophies on us but gives us the space to make informed choices regarding Stormy’s development. She also clearly explains the rationale behind everything she teaches us. I feel this is important for cultivating the right environment for him to grow up with structures that aren’t too rigid or harsh. She is very knowledgeable and experienced and everything she
teaches is for the well-being of the dog as well as
for us new pawrents.
Thanks for everything, Joy.
Julia Kho
Very thankful to Joy and her guidance. She is patient to all my queries and caters each session to my dog. The positive reinforcement methods suggested by Joy helped my dog to learn while enjoying each training session.

We were fortunate to engage Joy for
Soju’s obedience training.
Soju was an extremely skittish puppy when we first got her. With Joy’s guidance and patience, Soju had made great improvements and is much more confident now.
Joy supported us throughout the trainings and was immensely attentive to our queries. We could not
have found a better trainer!

We enrolled our corgi Sparky for 8 sessions of basic obedience with Joy whom we highly recommend! Joy was very patient in answering our queries, proving recommendations and introducing effective tools for us to better manage Sparky using positive reinforcement! She also makes it a point to send us videos taken during each training session for us to refer to. Most importantly, Sparky absolutely loves her and enjoys every training session! Thank you so much Joy for your time and effort!
Melvin Or
We highly recommend Joy ! Being first time dog owners, we were lost when we brought home our Jack Russell who is hyperactive .Along with her techniques and strategies, we were able to train him and use his energy in an effective way. Now he is much more obedient and independent in what he does. She is also very calm and handles any situation professionally.She also answered our queries too. Thank you so much for helping us in the past 8 weeks. We learnt a lot and thank you Supernova

Shermin
Our furkid has just completed her full course on basic obedience training. We are happy to have completed this program. We think that this new way of positive reinforcement is better than the older ways of punishment based training. We felt a deeper connection with our pup by fostering positive discipline and an increase in our confidence as handlers.
The whole journey with Joy was very pleasant. Our pup loves her and enjoys her company like family. Her passion for the furkids & their well being emanates strongly with her high energy. As her name commands, she brings lots of joy during training, is endlessly motivating, encouraging, helping us review & correcting both us as parents and our pup throughout.

Joy has been immensely helpful connecting me with Angelo. Despite being an owner of several dogs, Joy taught me new ways of correcting the behavior of Angelo through positive reinforcement and always revisiting past training techniques to ensure that I’m consistent with the training and also Angelo is acknowledging the techniques as well. Joy is a very patient and knowledgeable trainer and most importantly stresses the importance of the relationship between the owner and the doggie. Thanks Joy!
Frankco
Our corgi puppy, Nugget was enrolled for an 8 lessons basic obedience training with Joy. Joy is super knowledgeable, patient, and is always willing to teach and use new methods according to Nugget’s needs. Joy also took the effort to review past training, re-inforce them. She is always willing to help to correct and advise on Nugget’s behavior and how to adjust and correct Nugget’s new behaviour

I have decided to engage Joy for behavioural training with my dog, Giggles. Joy is very patient and encouraging, sharing tips and training methods with us to make Giggles more engaged, lessen his triggers and to bond with him as a family. We have seen positive outcomes out of Joy’s training and Giggles has been improving well. Joy also always takes videos during our session and would send me after, so that we can refer to it when we train Giggles on our own. We can tell that Joy genuinely cares for Giggles and wants the best for him 😊 I would definitely recommend Joy to anyone who is looking for a trainer!
Summer
Working with Joy was such a JOY! She always gave sound advice and was very patient with me and my puppy. Joy helped me to see my puppy in a different and better light – that there really are no naughty dogs, but only dogs who need our help to provide them with a safe and consistent environment that they can thrive in.
I’d trust my pups to Joy any day!

With the majority of my family being first-time pet owners, embarking on this wonderful and rewarding adventure of owning a dog came with it’s fair share of anxiety, stress, helplessness, and responsibilities. It did not help matters that our 3-month old Pomsky pup came to us shy, timid, and withdrawn. (poor thing must have been traumatized by someone or something during her arduous journey from Ireland to Singapore) Then … along came Joy. With her vast experience, knowledge, patience (to both humans & dog), and her tender-loving care for our little girl, Joy has definitely taught us the finer points on how to navigate this symbiotic relationship between Man and Dog. The weekly trainings, crucial advice and countless guidance she has selflessly given us have definitely helped us to better understand our little girl. Thank you Joy …. ‘Latte’ thanks you too.
Lincoln Sia
Our 6 months old pomsky Guinness completed his Good Canine Citizen group training with trainer Joy from Supernova. We highly recommend Joy as she is extremely patient, cheerful, knowledgeable and helpful. She constantly updates and provides us with information that will help us understand our dogs better. She is always very encouraging and it makes training with her very enjoyable. Guinness loves Joy and is always so excited to see her for training every week. We are so glad to have trained with Joy. If you are looking for a trustable training school, SuperNova will definitely be a right choice.
Teri Yap
We are first timer dog owners and we’re so glad that we had Joy as our trainer for our pup Lokie! Joy is without a doubt, a very passionate and enthusiastic trainer, she’s provided us with so many useful tips and knowledge to guide us in understanding our puppy so much better, we wouldn’t know what to do without her! The training was fun and engaging with continuous focus on positive reinforcement. Lokie has since become more obedient and our bond between each other has strengthened immensely with Joy’s help. Definitely recommend Joy from supernova for anyone looking for their furkids obedience training. Thank you so much Joy, you really bring joy throughout this journey for us & Lokie!
Claudia Tan
Nearly 3 months ago, we brought home a clueless Labrador puppy. As first-time owners, we were pretty lost as to what to do with her and how to train her. With Joy’s patience and guidance, Callie has managed to grow from a puppy who doesn’t know any boundaries into one who is vibrant, yet well-behaved but still eager to please! It is now so much easier to teach her new tricks and commands without punishment, using positive reinforcement. Best part is, it makes having an active and larger breed more manageable and Callie enjoys every bit of training! We suspect that Callie is always more excited to see Joy than us too 😆 We are looking forward to join Callie in every step of her journey. Thank you so much!
Charmaine
We had Joy as Sky’s (Golden Retriever) trainer and we seriously enjoyed every session as much as Sky. We suspect that Sky definitely loves her more than us. Her no-fear methods works very well for Sky’s calm and docile demeanor, with outbursts of irritating behaviours that we didn’t correct before Joy. The sessions were personalized to Sky’s learning and we were always along with the journey, updated with videos, recommendations of how to correct our commands etc. There can not be any better trainer and would highly recommend (and have recommended) Joy as well as Supernova for any dog training that you are looking to compare. Sky still licks her all over whenever he sees her and I am sure in Sky’s mind, she is his BFF cos she always reaffirms him with excited “YES!” “Good Boy!” “Sky is so handsome!” Joy is a joy to be with.

Supernova was our first choice for dog training because we wanted trainers who believed in positive reinforcement. We got Joy for 8 personal sessions for Akia, our cockapoo, and it was the best decision ever! Joy is meticulous in her training and it was obvious from Day 1 how fond of her Akia is. Akia learnt basic obedience commands, bite inhibition, attention walking and so much more from Joy. Joy also gave us fabulous tips when it came to grooming, enrichment toys and healthy food for Akia. Joy was such a pleasure to work with and is always available to chat through any doubts even after the training sessions are over. We have recommended her to several other dog parents and have been overjoyed with Akia’s progress over the 3 months or so.
