“We can’t recommend Jo highly enough! Our puppy has recently completed his Diamond foundation package and the three of us enjoyed our training sessions so much. It’s been so rewarding to see how much he’s enjoyed it and how intelligent he is. Jo is so helpful and knowledgeable and we’ve learned so much and got so much more from our sessions than we were expecting! We really feel like she has helped us to give Gus the best start!”
