Paddy Whack Dog Behaviourist & Trainer

I would highly recommend Valerie if you are looking for puppy training classes.

Val has been very calm & encouraging with us. She has taught us a lot & we are now working better as a team. I would thoroughly recommend Paddywhack dog training to everyone regardless of their dogs age!

In that time we have achieved more progress with Val working on obiedience and reactive habits (my own included) than in the past year training without professional input.
