I have been watching your Ultimate Puppy Course, and firstly I want to congratulate you. In all my years being involved in dog training, this has been the best course I have followed. It gave me so many insights into how to give my puppy a good start in life. I am a qualified behaviourist myself (I studied with COAPE). I also have written books about dogs, so I am very aware of how a good start in your puppy’s first year is so important.

Outstanding training, in a very accessible format.

I have followed this course with my puppy since I picked him up at 8 weeks. I can honestly say he has been the happiest and easiest puppy I have ever raised. I can’t recommend it highly enough.
