Thanks, Trish and Stuart, for teaching great obedience classes for Myself, Melissa and our dog, Moby. I've included both Melissa and myself in that because; we have had to learn almost as much, if not more, than our dog! Though we have had dogs before, we have never attended an obedience class having always thought that teaching a dog how to sit was enough.

We have learned practical commands that last a lifetime such as "leave it" that deal with everyday problems we may face with our dog. We realised how important this training is whenever people approached us to ask how we get our dog to be so attentive and focused on us. They would then proceed with stories of how wild their dogs were. We felt great pride in how well our Moby "performed" at the park.

We particularly appreciate the enthusiasm both of you have had with Moby, helping us both in classes and outside with his "extra curricular activities". You taught us that dogs are individuals and training should be tailored to their personality. Techniques that work on one dog may not work on another. You have given us the tools necessary to ensure the safety of our dog and enjoy his companionship to its fullest potential. Though he still has his 'off' days, we realize that training never stops and he will only improve as long as we commit the time to this.

We have also found that the different styles of training from the various trainers have provided us with a variety of ways to address various training techniques which enable us to select the best one for Moby. The classes are always a lot of fun especially when the agility equipment is brought out. It still amazes us that Moby, who loves a sleep in, is always first waiting at the front door on a Saturday morning.
Thanks again for the great classes. They are well worth our investment in time and money and would recommend you to anyone wanting dog training.
Kind Regards

Jason Pleaner and Melissa Clarke (and Moby!)
