What High Five Puppy Skills clients say:

So pleased that Margaret was recommended to train our Chica - a lovely spoodle puppy with attitude! Margaret gave practical advice, which has helped so much. The one on one session followed by the group classes were great!

Jean (and Chica)

We had such a lot of fun learning from Margaret, Chester enjoyed his time and we learnt so much from her that we are putting into practice at home.

We highly recommend you give her a call if you have a new puppy.

Phillipa (and Chester)

Thank you Margaret for all the great advice and training for Cody. We learnt heaps and I'm sure Cody did too. He is very full on - as he demonstrated! so once we put all the training into effect I'm sure he will be a very well mannered boy who is a pleasure to be around. We can definitely recommend you to anyone who is looking for an excellent trainer.

Alison (and Cody)

Dina, George (and Lola)

Margaret gave us some great guidelines to follow that were easy to instigate into our family life. Our kids have been thrilled to be able to help train Lola with the help of simple commands that you suggested.

Thanks to you we have been able to raise a happy, confident dog who generally follows instructions. We often get comments on how happy and well behaved Lola is.

Thank you Margaret!

Dina, George (and Lola)

Phillip, Keiko, Kenta (and Ellie)

Having tried a few different trainers, it was certainly refreshing to finally find someone who obviously loves dogs, and knew what they were doing.

Margaret had some great tips and tricks that helped us survive the puppy months.

Phillip, Keiko, Kenta (and Ellie)
