“I cannot recommend Puppy Classes enough!”

"We did the 6 week puppy class course with our Labrador Hugo. During the first session, he was very excited and frustrated that he couldn’t play with the other puppies yet. He is a friendly dog who wants to say hello to everyone he meets. By the final session, he was much more focused on us and settled down on several occasions. He completed the classes with flying colours. We’re so pleased we did this course and we learnt a lot about how to manage and teach behaviour. It was great for his socialisation too. Thank you Raychel!."
