We cannot emphasise enough how much Luna has benefited from and enjoyed each and every class she has attended. From the very first puppy class where we learnt how to use clicker training and basic commands to the advanced class where we are working with her off lead she has steadily improved and turned into a contented and lovable bear!
With Luna being a giant breed these classes have proved to be absolutely essential. We are able to control her and be confident around other dogs and people with her. Luna looks forward to class each week and loves seeing all her buddies! She is truly a happy dog :)
