  • Marco and Anouk with Becka (Jack Russell mixed breed)

    Marco and Anouk with Becka (Jack Russell mixed breed)

    Becka came to live with us about a year ago. We had just adopted her from Spain and right from the start, she found everything scary. Her coping strategy was to bluff her way through. She would bark, growl and lunge at everything and everyone she didn’t trust (people, other dogs, cars, loud noises, etc.). […]

  • Bea with Duke (Airedale Terrier)

    Bea with Duke (Airedale Terrier)

    Nice, dedicated teachers with a heart for dogs and their people!!!! Solid step-by-step instructions, and above all a really nice atmosphere. I appreciated how quick they were to intervene when the saw Duke was getting wound up, asking other owners to get their dogs to look away from Duke. Very supportive.

  • David and Caron with Scruffy (German Shepherd)

    David and Caron with Scruffy (German Shepherd)

    We have thoroughly enjoyed our puppy classes with Laure-Anne and her assistant trainers. The small class size was ‘intimate’ enough that we don’t feel like we are missing out (we all received individual attention during class and they made sure to help us understand our goals and mistakes we make), moved along at a good […]

  • Tom with Kaya (Border Collie)

    Tom with Kaya (Border Collie)

    Having a border collie puppy requires that you socialise your dog in a good way, which is challenging the dog whilst taking care they don’t get bored. Managing the high energy and focusing the intellect is the main challenge for the breed and all this was achieved at the puppy course. You get fun exercises […]

  • Kitty with Dodo (Labradoodle)

    Kitty with Dodo (Labradoodle)

    Great dog training school that I would recommend to everyone! Besides really good practical lessons in small groups, and a relaxed atmosphere, they also give an especially good theory evening on dog body language and on dog behaviour. Really instructive!

  • Eva with Zoey (Border Terrier)

    Eva with Zoey (Border Terrier)

    The fun class was really nice and so much fun. I found the general atmosphere and the approach really good. And the beautiful surroundings. Even the start/end times were convenient. Zoey enjoyed herself, really, and that’s what it’s all about.

  • Ingrid with Teagan (Dachshund)

    Ingrid with Teagan (Dachshund)

    The fun class atmosphere was really convivial. We had a nice small group. I loved the positive approach, even when the dog doesn’t work it out immediately. Nice approach to teaching, with clear explanations. Really nice to work on beginner tracking. That’s what’s fine with the fun class: you just do it. Nice and varied […]

  • Brent with Bogart

    Brent with Bogart

    As an expat, your language abilities are a big +!!! I had some difficulty in following courses in Dutch at other training schools, while the environment was not near as welcoming to non-nederlanders.

  • Bart Schouten (himself a dog trainer) with Kane (Wolfshound)

    Bart Schouten (himself a dog trainer) with Kane (Wolfshound)

    I was looking for a training school I could attend with my wolfshound, Kane. As a behaviour therapist and dog training instructor, I had high expectations. When I found out the school had just launched, I started having some doubts. But these soon disappeared: Laure-Anne and Nicolle really know what they’re talking about and are […]

  • Peter with Harry (Labrador)

    Peter with Harry (Labrador)

    Harry is a six-year-old labrador whose previous owners couldn’t afford to look after him anymore. They hadn’t taught him a thing: he didn’t even know how to walk up stairs, nevermind listen to us. After weeks of trying myself, I decided to take him to training class. Harry is one of our three labs and […]
