A Message From Pippa:
"This is the course I take all my puppies through from about three to four months old. It makes sure each puppy has fun learning key obedience positions in easy, gentle stages. And it helps me follow a structured path and construct strong foundations on which to build advanced skills.
I'm so excited to share this course with my students. I think you'll have hours of fun, working through these simple and effective games!"
