What Clients say
about Puppy School

  • “Pen's guidance helped us feel more confident with our first puppy, and he's learned so much more than we thought he'd have at this stage. I couldn't recommend it enough.”
    —   Louise
  • “Claire was really patient and positive. She was really helpful in giving advice tailored to the needs of each puppy and reaffirming always the value of positive reinforcement to help puppies make good choices which felt so much better than some of the 'corrective' techniques recommended by other puppy trainers. Felt like a very supportive positive environment. ”
    —   George
