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 …

So glad we met Margaret for some much needed puppy training. Such great tips and advice and easy to put them into practice. A happier pup as a result and pet owners who have a better understanding of their pup.

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 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.
