Paws in Harmony

My puppy and I started to go to Paws in Harmony when she was about 14 weeks old. To be honest we didn't quite know what to expect or what we were looking for. She is now almost 9 months old and both of us have learned so much more than just basic obedience. In fact, I have probably learned more than my puppy as Lynda makes sure to teach the handler responsible dog ownership and how to correctly handle and train their dogs. The classes are small and everybody gets a chance to get to know each other. The climate is very friendly and comfortable, no question is too stupid and any concerns are discussed and explained in the group using Lynda's vast experience in a friendly and funny way. The training exercises are fun and creative. Lynda always has something new up her sleeve that is a challenge for dog and owner in a fun way. By introducing elements from Heelwork to Music and Agility she also adds different flavours to the "normal" training courses. The way Lynda manages to turn training exercises into a fun experience is just perfect and both my puppy and I are looking forward to "Puppy classes" every week. Lynda runs her own Paws in Harmony Scheme based on The Kennel Club Good Citizen Dog Scheme but with far more points to cover. If you are uncomfortable with tests there is nothing to worry about as the tests are part of the normal course. This is to keep track of your achievements and something to work towards to. If you want to get The Kennel Club's Good Citizen Dog Scheme then Lynda can arrange for a judge to come by and test you. She will make sure that you are ready and provide you with all the help you need. I cannot recommend Paws in Harmony enough for my puppy and me this is the best class we could have gotten into. Thank you Lynda.
