What High Five Puppy Skills clients say:

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)

Hi Margaret
A BIG thanks for your valuable time spent with us and Cosmo yesterday.
A very tired doggy last night and a couple, or four, wide-eyed owners!
We all learned some great tools to bring about a well mannered young dog through to adulthood.
Looking forward to our free session (thank you) with Janice.
We would be very happy to recommend your services.
And Cosmo loves his tug rope!
Kind regards
Dave and Lindy

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 helped me understand how to set boundaries with my big pup (Great Dane) at home and work, how to get him more interested in eating and generally understand him better and the list goes on! I highly recommend Margaret and thoroughly enjoyed our one on one family session. Kim J
