Outdoor classes are much more helpful!

I recently attended puppy classes with Becky. This is not my first time using East Coast Dog Training and would not go anywhere else or hesitate to recommend.

The first time I attended puppy classes was in a hall, however, I found having the first three classes online and the remaining 3 outside was much more helpful.

Becky is very experienced and extremely knowledgeable! She makes you feel at ease and is very approachable.

Thanks again Becky!

Comprehensive, hands-on puppy training

Very comprehensive course covering all the issues with a new pup. Becky is so hands-on even with the Zoom meetings, which I was sceptical about, but actually are easier as pups not distracted by other dogs.

It takes a few weeks to see the results but stick to it, and then they just fall into place. It should be called puppy owners course as it’s you she trains, not your dog.

She is always available to answer any queries and is great support. She is so obviously a dog lover. Highly recommend her.

– Lynda Ferrigan

Easy to follow and manageable to fit in!

We really enjoyed our puppy classes with Becky. It was great getting videos to practice with, as well as all the fact sheets.

Everything was easy to follow and felt manageable to fit in. Becky is really friendly and happy to answer any questions.

We are already signed up for our next course.

Thanks Becky, for making training our puppy feel possible and fun for us and Winnie.
