    Having taken obedience training under Deborah at PPP my dog Raine and I are much better in tune with each other. Her prep was extremely helpful in Raine passing her CGC and Therapy Dog certification. Under Deborah’s training you will learn far more than sit, stay,and come. You will learn a deeper understanding of your dog and what makes them………tick❤️🥰

    We can’t speak highly enough about Deborah, John, and the entire playful pups crew. Our pup has learned SO much and is SO happy to go to class. Deborah’s approach is positive, science based, and the best for the pups 💖 we can’t wait to advance to the next class! Worth every penny!
