We took the 6 week class with Jutka and it was awesome instructions and training opportunity. We did the package 3 private and 6 week class and our sheepadoodle is doing great! Still learning a bit :) thanks, Jutka! Very professional. Also I like the small class size.

We took our 4 month old Cavapoo to Puppy K’s puppy group class and it was great. Jutka was great with all the dogs. It’s a small class (there were a total of 5 dogs) and we learned sit, stay, come, heel, touch, and leash walking. I highly recommend this group for anyone who has a new puppy

Jutka was amazing with our Dolce, we loved PuppyK and will definitely be returning for her advanced puppy class!

So I put off writing this review for a long time, now that my puppy is almost 2. I took my girl to PuppyK for her first training class when she was about 14 weeks old. She was petrified of the other dogs, and I felt like Jutka didn't really take into consideration her needs compared to the other rambunctious puppies in the class. During the first free play, my girl got rushed immediately by the other puppies and ran cowering/yelping after showing obvious signs in the beginning of class that she was scared. I had to advocate for her in the next class and asked if we could have our own space during free play. I felt kind of forgotten in the corner, and I wish my puppy could have gotten to play on all the agility equipment like the others. If you have a timid puppy, just keep this in mind and let her know beforehand (if you can). It might save you some stress. The actual instruction time was helpful.
