WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY
"We are coming to the end of the Basic Manners course, and have greatly appreciated and enjoyed Tamsin's methods, to which my dog is responding very well. She always has strategies to address individual dogs' needs."
"Good fun, challenging for both dog and owner so you feel there’s progress at every session but the support and encouragement from Tamsin keeps you on track."
"I've just finished the Basic Manners course with one of my dogs and it was both such fun and so beneficial we're going straight into the Advanced Class!! The Basic Manners course was very well structured and Tamsin is not only extremely knowledgable but also excellent at explaining both the training methods and the logic behind them. Best of all the training is up to date, force free and happy-dog-centric. Love it!!"
This class is ideal for dogs who attended zoom classes during lockdown or had 1-1 sessions with me. Also for older dogs who missed puppy classes due to lockdown.
