Testimonials
Isobel, David & Evie
Training our dog Evie with Gosia has been the best thing we could have done to get her to be the dog she now is. At almost three she is curious but responsive, lively but well-mannered and obedient but happy.
Evie has done General Obedience as a pup, follow-up training, Scentwork, and Shaping, all of which have been brilliant for her. The most useful learning for us has definitely been good recall while distracted! Gosia works very hard with each and every dog in her sessions, and her experience has allowed us all to benefit. Thank you, Harburn Dog Academy!
