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

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 …

Fun socialization for young puppies to give them a great head start in life. Margaret is a true professional. She has a true bond with the little ones all shapes and sizes!

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!

Amber and Tima

Margaret's intelligent assessment and advice that is specific to each puppy's individual character as well as her many fun exercises

We went to see her with our puppy Nova, we have previously trained two dogs but after 11 years since puppy training thought we would refresh our memories. She gave us some great training ideas and techniques that we are using every day glad we went.

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

Margaret is a wealth of knowledge. The value of her one on one session with puppy classes was WAY more than we paid. Her priceless advice about recall and all her tips and tricks have set us up with a great foundation. We know where to go if we have any issues with our wee guy through the years. Being in her own property meant I felt safe in the space and the sessions (no other random dogs coming to join the session!) had a lovely feel in that we got to know the other dogs and owners and enjoy our time together. Thanks from us and Chico 🐶.

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)

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 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.

Janine and Oakley

We recommend this puppy school especially for those who haven’t owned a dog before! We learnt so much and our puppy Irie did too! Thanks for everything

Kerrie and Roxy

Kim and Charlie
My partner and I took our 7 month old french mastiff puppy Charlie to one of Margaret's one on one sessions. We would both highly recommend her as a trainer, we learnt a lot in one session! I think Charlie enjoyed herself as well. Thank you so much!

Kim and Charlie

Kim and Ragnar
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

Kim and Ragnar

Margaret's courses were excellent. They've really helped us all as a family to become both more disciplined with Clifford and to develop lots of ways to keep him focused, entertained and thinking. Thanks Margaret.

Margie and Clifford

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

Mel and Zoe
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.

Mel and Zoe

Michelle and Alfie
Thank you Margaret for your practical advise and putting us on the right track to having a happy well behaved puppy. Alfie thoroughly enjoyed his session as much as we did. We both feel so much more confident now and will recommended you to any new puppy owners!

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

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)

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)

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)

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.

Alison (and Cody)

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)

Paula (and Bliss)
At a time when we didn't know what to do to make our dog's life better, Margaret guided us through simple steps to success.

Thanks Margaret we are grateful for a happier dog! And we had fun!

Paula (and Bliss)

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.

Steve Kenmare (and Cash)

Thanks Margaret, we have a happy puppy who is practicing all your great tips and techniques that we learnt from all your puppy courses
