"As new dog owners we felt we needed assistance with the training of our
miniature Schnauzer . We were recommended to D' For Dog by a work
colleague. We had a number of one on one sessions and some group sessions with our first dog and found the training was really beneficial and enjoyable.  Having used D' for Dog for our first puppy we had no hesitation in enrolling for puppy school with our second dog.  The training is not just about training the puppy but giving the owners skills to go away with and build on as well."

"When we decided to adopt Fergy from the Humane Society we couldn’t
have imagined what a treasure s he would become – much of that thanks to your patient guidance. Your first visit was an eye-opener to us both and learning to understand her stress and anxiety signals proved a turning point for all.  Over the ensuing months we endeavoured to follow your advice as best we could a nd today w e have a happy, healthy little girl with the most sunny disposition.  More than anything, Paul and I learnt the va lue of time and patience – and that the effort you put in is rewarded by the joy you get from seeing your pup grow and develop."

"We were delighted with the results of our 7 month old Labrador, Bruno after his 8 week course with Jo and Paula at D for Dog.  They have a very gentle manner with the dogs (and the owners!), but are firm and fair.  Bruno loved it!  Our kids enjoyed it and most of all, we have a beautifully behaved 9 month old Lab now. Long may his behaviour continue to please us.  Many thanks Jo and Paula"

"We enrolled in your basic puppy class and within the first 2 sessions thanks to your advice
and strategies Maddi made HUGE changes for the positive... at 7 months old now, and a
graduate of your basic class Maddison has blossomed into a wonderful family dog, bouncy, happy and with ever-growing confidence in most situations. She even managed to be a “demo dog” at the local St Johns when the kids were learning about pet health and the vet was visiting... getting compliments from all on her sweet disposition and excellent manners. After a 10 year break from owning dogs for me, its been like learning all over again Thank you Jo and Paula for your excellent advice, positive training manner (for us and our canine counterparts!) and for helping us help Maddi to become – in the words of my son – the most awesome dog EVER!"

"Cypress our son has started day care so it works out perfectly because I take both of them for a walk while Cypress is at Daycare and Bosh is an absolute BREEZE to walk !!!!!! Its wonderful I love taking them out for a walk and so much easier when both of them aren't tugging at the leash, Bella does a bit but i can manage her, and so everything has worked out wonderfully for us! I know those training sessions you did with Bosh worked wonders. Thank you so much."
