What Puppy Owners Say About My Puppy Classes
"Pippa is very knowledgeable and extremely invested in helping you learn how to work with your dog. She puts a lot of hard work into the course both online and in person to make sure you understand your dog’s behaviour and works with you until you find a way to make exercises work with your dog. I really enjoyed attending the puppy course with Pippa and plan to keep working with her to further improve my dog’s behaviour". Nadia
