Tip Top Dog School

I had a private zoom lesson with Barbara before getting my pup and subsequently did the 4 weeks pup training. I had been reading a lot about dogs (and had three dogs and a number of other animals growing up), still I got from Barbara more deep insights on dog psychology and super valuable practical tips. Barbara is a good woman with great knowledge and experience. She also surrounds herself with helpful assistants. I strongly recommend Tip Top Dog School.

Barbara is an amazing trainer. She is always kind and encouraging to both puppies and their owners. The follow up notes to the training sessions are invaluable.

Just completed Tip Top's Puppy Foundation classes-- and could not recommend it enough! Barbara is fantastic -- exceptionally knowledgeable, passionate & intuitive about dogs with all their various personalities. While I grew up with working dogs & thought I knew a fair bit on how to raise them, the skills Barbara covered in her classes have been absolutely invaluable. She really takes her time to explain the reasoning behind each exercise & splits her time to ensure everyone in the class is looked after. Brilliant classes & an exceptional instructor -- thank you Barbara!

Barbara and Tip Top Dog School were great for me and my puppy Charlie. The group classes were great for teaching him to pay attention and calm him down (as hes a very energetic pup!). Barbara was also great at phoning us up every now and then to check in on our progress from home. Would highly recommend!

Barbara has now helped train both of our dogs at Tip Top Dog School and we couldnt recommend her more. Being sighthounds, we expected our two iggies to be notoriously difficult to train, but Barbara put us at ease and took it in her stride. With hands on help during the training and invaluable homework to continue with at home, there is no one else we would go to for help with training. Thank you!
