External review from Doggo.nl (http://bit.ly/1DGHaV2), translated from Dutch / About the Obedience 1 course

Martijn with Ellis (Malinois cross)

Oh my dog is a really great school where our young dog has learnt a lot. The instructors are all friendly and really passionate. For the dog, it was party-time every week with lots of treats. We also had a lot of questions about our adolescent dog, of course, and the instructors always took the time to listen and give good advice. In short, I would highly recommend it!

Martijn with Max (Labradoodle)

Great place to deepen the bond with your dog, and to learn that training can be fun (for you and for your dog!). Laure-Anne is great in her dealings with dogs and the ‘owners’. Our Labradoodle, Max, came into our house when he was 2 years old already. This course helped put us on track to him feeling completely at home in the family!

Monique with Charlie (Cocker Spaniel)

I have just completed my puppy course: it was super informative and I’ve learnt a lot, thank you so much, Sylvia, for all the nice lessons!

External review via Google (translated from Dutch) / About the child-dog course

Arine & J. (13) with Oddy (Labradoodle)

We have followed the child-dog course with great pleasure. My daughter really liked it, and so did the dog. We have learnt lots of tricks so we can show off what our dog can do, but in a dog-child safe way! Plus points: Corono-safe, small group, lots of time and individual attention, including attention for additional questions, tons of fun for kids and dogs: crawing through tunnels, slaloms, agility course, jumping over obstacles, etc.

Renée & Robert with Mina (German pointer cross)

We (all three of us) found the (private) lessons that Laure-Anne gave us very nice and educational. She was super nice to our dog, who was crazy about Laure-Anne and looked forward to every lesson. Regards from Robert, Renée and Mina!
