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!

Suzy and Charlie

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

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)

Thank you Margaret! We had such fun at your puppy school and look forward to our next visit soon... we (family and Pipi) learned so much. thank you a zillion times over. Cath

Cath and Pipi

Margaret knows her stuff! Great training for the humans and a great relaxed atmosphere with lots of brilliant tips and advice.

Kerrie and Roxy

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)
