"Recently, I applied to re-home a dog from The Mayhew Rescue Centre. Once we had been checked out by The Mayhew, we brought home Tallulah, a big friendly two year old black labrador, who now lives happily with us and our nine year old lab, Petal.
To help the “bonding” process and rectify a problem I had getting her to respond to my recall when she had wandered off, I started attending The Tip Top Dog School’s training classes run by Sue Goulden and Barbara Nedas. Tallulah responded well and really enjoys the lessons which have proved extremely useful to me, as Sue and Barbara’s “firm yet gentle” methods have helped me correct and improve my training abilities.
I’ve found that there really is no substitute to attending good training classes. They enable you to improve your training skills when there are lots of distractions around, thereby feeling much more confident when you’re out and about with your dog, keep abreast of the latest news, views, veterinary advice and training techniques, (Sue and Barbara are a constant source of knowledge), introduce your dog to lots of new friends and enjoy a real sense of achievement that learning in a positive, friendly environment brings – and when it comes to all of the above, dare I say it - Tip Top is Tip Top!"
