I’d highly recommend Canine Connections. My puppy was super nervous to the extent that she wanted to escape the field on the first class! Lisa was amazing, making suggestions so that Jessie would feel less scared. 6 weeks later after completing the Puppy Foundation she’s like a different dog, we’ve learnt skills to help us whilst out and about and you can visibly see how much her confidence has grown. Thank you!

Lisa is friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. All the puppy classes were varied, interesting and fun. On week 1 the puppies were given the chance to experience so many different things. This is the first time I've experienced that at a puppy class. I would definitely recommend the classes.

Excellent first course if you have just got your puppy and don’t know where to start! The classes are both fun and informative, extra help is always on hand if your puppy needs some extra encouragement or help. Lovely caring trainers who are passionate in what they teach. So glad Canine Connections were recommended to me!

I cannot thank Lisa enough for all the training and help she has given us. We had so many questions and Lisa was always on hand to answer and come up with some top tips. There is no one better than Lisa and I would thoroughly recommend attending one of her classes!

Lisa and her team are highly skilled and brilliant and poppy had lots of fun while learning some wonderful new skills, Training her recall was most important to us and she is brilliant after attending training as well as our connection improving especially on walks, We couldn’t have asked for more including enrichment techniques that have been beneficial for our pup that wants to work for her food, for anyone with a new puppy it’s definitely worth doing 😊
Thanks for all your hard work, love
