Madoc and I had a fantastic time doing the puppy class. Marta is very welcoming friendly and professional .I would highly recommend her classes to anyone with a puppy.
We were made to feel really welcome and was able to accommodate my mum as well who struggles to stand for too long. My puppy, that I was seriously struggling with basic recall with, managed to improve on that from the first lesson. The lessons were fun and interactive and informative. I would come back and would recommend Marta every time.
