Maaike and Wouter with Thor (French bulldog)

We have followed the puppy class, then the follow-up course, with great pleasure. We were helped in small groups, with lots of space and attention for each dog and owner. Thank you for the training, the good advice and all the attention. Greetings, Thor, Maaike and Wouter.

Aro and Carlsten for Marley (ex-street dog)

Recently arrived in NL with a rescue dog displaying behavioural problems. We had a 3 hour consultation with Laure-Anne over Zoom ( Covid-19 restrictions) which by the end of left us empowered and confident. Laure-Anne took the time to adress all the issues, immediately providing us with techniques to use- which in the week since the call have made otherwise stressful walks, dare we say, quiet and more enjoyable! We will now commence with the detailed training plan that she has put together for us, and have decided to use the trainer that comes recommended. So far, expectations have been exceeded and we highly recommend OhMyDog!

Loes met Juulke (dachshund)

Very nice experience with Oh My Dog! Juulke (puppy) and I enjoyed following the puppy course here. Small group sizes allow for more personal attention and, added bonus, less distraction for the dogs, making the course easier for the owners to follow. The clicker method works very well when teaching desired behaviour, and was easy to learn. The trainers are enthusiastic and knowledgeable and are open to questions outside the course material. I definitely recommend this school!

Rebecca with Boef (Labradoodle)

Super school! We have learnt a lot in this school. I really appreciated that the groups were so small and the instructions we got were really good: it was given in a way that you can actually use the explanations. The location is quiet and spatious. I have really enjoyed my lessons there (despite the rain, once in a while). I would highly recommend!!!
