What High Five Puppy Skills clients say:

Christina and Scrappy

My boy and I had so much fun learning new things. Highly recommended!

Christina and Scrappy

We recommend this puppy school especially for those who haven’t owned a dog before! We learnt so much and our puppy Irie did too! Thanks for everything

Jo and Irie

Margaret has been great in helping us with our little fur baby Harley. From sleeping create set up, tricks, training & puppy socialisation we now have a very confident and smart pup. Thanks for all your help.

Cortnee and Harley

Margaret's courses were excellent. They've really helped us all as a family to become both more disciplined with Clifford and to develop lots of ways to keep him focused, entertained and thinking. Thanks Margaret.

Margie and Clifford

We spent a 2hr session with Margaret and our new sheltie, Oakley ( 6months), he has a issue with cars and barking. Margaret was full of knowledge, advice, and suggestions to help us with this, and more. She treated Oakley as one of her own, and he responded well. Well worth the visit. Thanks Margaret.

Janine and Oakley

I couldn't recommend Margaret more! We took our girl Lulu to High Five Puppy Skills and completed the one-on-one sessions and workshops. Lulu really benefited from the sessions and it was a great introduction to how to be a well rounded …

Jon and Lulu

Margaret was fantastic with Harley. She also taught us to be better parents! We were doing so many things the wrong way. There’s peace at home now. I would highly recommend High Five Puppy School. Don’t wait until your pup is 14 weeks. The sooner the better.

Maria and Harley

Hi Margaret
A BIG thanks for your valuable time spent with us and Cosmo yesterday.
A very tired doggy last night and a couple, or four, wide-eyed owners!
We all learned some great tools to bring about a well mannered young dog through to adulthood.
Looking forward to our free session (thank you) with Janice.
We would be very happy to recommend your services.
And Cosmo loves his tug rope!
Kind regards
Dave and Lindy
