As a first time dog owner I wanted the best start for my puppy. I was so lucky to find Puppy and Friends. It’s been such a positive experience from week 1.
We met such lovely owners and learned so many useful lessons. I came away equipped with the knowledge on how to prepare myself and my puppy for a happy and successful partnership.
Everything is based on fun and reward in a calm and practical environment, there’s also no judgment. As I have no experience with dogs at times I felt overwhelmed.
Siobhan was always there to listen and give useful advice, even outside the sessions. I would have no hesitation to recommend this organisation.

Thank you Puppy and Friends!
June and I both considered ourselves to be decent dog handlers having previously owned two Doberman.
However, rescuing our Pointer puppy, Bentley, through up more than a few challenges than we anticipated.
However, your training has been so rewarding and Bentley and ourselves have learnt lots of new things and we enjoyed every moment of our training.
We wouldn’t hesitate in recommending you to anyone with a dog who is looking for help - and fun - and finishing off with a dog and handler egg and spoon race was the icing on the cake.
Thank you !

Where do I start, I called Siobhan this morning an emotional wreck following Christmas as our catahoula/lab puppy seemed to have gone backwards with all the excitement and had separation anxiety.
Siobhan’s knowledge and relaxed manner calmed me instantly.
We were completely unable to leave her again without her becoming highly stressed and howling. Siobhan was amazing - talking us through everything we needed and we have trialled it today, the results already have been amazing we’ve left her multiple times throughout the day and twice for an hour and a half and she’s been silent both long times.
Siobhan had all the time in the world for us, no question silly, nothing too much trouble. She helped us put a plan together and has already
made it possible for us to leave her and know she’s happy and content. We now don’t feel as guilty at all having to work as we now know she can be settled and happy when we are out working. There are no words to thank you for everything you have done today and your support.
Even during the holidays you we’re at the end of the phone to help us. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts! Love Luna and the Lavery’s!
