 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I can't recommend the ladies at Muckyhound and The Dog Squad in Gorey highly enough. Jo from Muckyhound and Karen from The Dog Squad have been absolutely wonderful throughout the Puppy Life Skills course. My puppy has learned so much in such a short time, but what surprised me most is how much I've learned too. The classes aren't just about teaching puppies—they're about helping owners understand their dogs better, build confidence, and develop a strong relationship together. The best part has been the bond that's growing between me and my pup. Their positive, supportive approach has made training enjoyable for both of us, and I genuinely look forward to every session. Thank you, Jo and Karen, for creating such a welcoming, encouraging environment. It's been a fantastic experience, and I'd wholeheartedly recommend Puppy Life Skills to anyone welcoming a new puppy into their family.

The course was excellent, very informative, molly our dog loved going, and Jo sends on videos each week of what you learnt, so you can practise. Id highly recommend it.

He has learnt so much in the level 1 puppy class. They know their stuff when it comes to training. I found the weekly "homework" really helped motivate me to train Bruno at home and the video examples made training that bit easier! We are Already looking forward to level 2 ! 🐾🤎

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. What can I say, Jo is the best! We loved every second of the training, my puppy learned so much. From weekly classes, tips, Video tutorials, its been invaluable. As a dog owner I was struggling with what to do and am I doing enough, the training thought me so much, gave me so much confidence, and its all done in a very welcoming, friendly and safe environment. Cant wait to start the next level!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We absolutely loved training with the girls at Muckyhound Dog Training/ The Dog Squad. Bandit started off in puppy mornings with the girls and then to Stage 1 of training. Not only does he get so excited when we rock up on the premises but how the girls teach and train is so well done and easy to follow and it’s fun! We will be continuing our training with the girls for the next 2 stages. Thank you so much for all your help!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We really enjoyed the training here for our puppy. He's a different dog with so much more focus now. Thanks to Jo and Karen for their training and advice, we'll be back for Level 2 in the new year.
