What are people saying?
" Due to the lockdown we have been following Melissa’s online training for our puppy. We have completed a 6 week training programme. Each video has clear instructions and advice and Melissa has followed this up with a weekly Q&A . We were extremely worried about missing socialising and training activities due to the lockdown but Melissa has provided an amazing service in the circumstances. The service has been outstanding and I would highly recommend Melissa’s dog services."

" The puppy school program has been amazing. We got our Working Cocker Spaniel puppy just after the lockdown and socialisation was one of our biggest worries along with implementing good behaviour right from the start. I stumbled on Melissa's course though her very informative blog post on socialising your puppy during a pandemic. All the class videos are easily to follow and I have seen a massive progress in Collin's behaviour. Melissa's advice on how to stop Collin from biting us has been a life safer too. Melissa has also been there to answer our questions throughout the course. We have had a fantastic services."
