Puppy Heaven - Love my job! 🐾😍

From 2 x Active Puppies Preschool classes to a couple of 1:1 private coaching sessions before joining classes, these clever wee pups have all been busy building fabulous foundations with their guardians for their lives together.

Confidence, focus, calmness, relationship-building and learning how to navigate the world one small step at a time.

I absolutely love getting to be part of the start of their journey 💛

Positive training. Real-life skills. Happy puppies. ✨
