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.

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

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

Totally recommend High Five Puppy Skills. I teach Canine Good Citizens Classes and still took my pup to the classes, a great starting point for any pup.

Jean (and Chica)
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)

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

Amazing experience!! We got so much value from this training...and it's clear to see the progress and influence at home already! 
This really helped us and invigorated us to get stuck in and look after our little pup!
