What High Five Puppy Skills clients say:

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)

I took my Border Collie pup to High Five with my 11 year old daughter. We learnt some cool ways to train our puppy for round the house routines along with many tricks. Margaret is a great trainer.

Nick and Luna

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)

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

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

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

Diane, David (and Maisy)

The decision to choose a one-on-one training session with Margaret has definitely paid off.

Having quality time with a very experienced puppy trainer was the most efficient way to gain the information we were looking for.

Maisy, our miniature schnauzer, is our dream dog because we knew how to train her and what she needed right from the start. All our friends want to take her home with them - that speaks for itself.

Thanks Margaret for your tried and true wisdom.

Diane, David (and Maisy)

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.
