What High Five Puppy Skills clients say:

I heartily recommend High Five Puppy Skills. Margaret is so knowledgeable and was adept at training both us and our Spoodle pup. And it was great fun. The one on one session and the workshops have been a fantastic start to our relationship with our new pup. Thank you, Margaret!

Jane and Tilly

We learnt a lot from Margaret & came away with a bag of goodies & the confidence to put our puppy in a kennel which has gone well so far. She definitely knows her stuff. Thanks for a great session. From Jason, Jo & Tilly

Jo and Tilly

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.

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.

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 …
