The Pawfessionals

My husband and I couldn't of been happier with the service provided. David went out of his way to help us train our difficult Golden Retriever. Our puppy participated in puppy school and dog training. David also helped us one on one. David is extremely knowledgeable and passionate and will go above and beyond to help you and your pooch. Highly recommend!

David has been a wonderful source of knowledge and has helped us welcome our first puppy to the family. David was able to provide feedback after our training and is always happy to help us to achieve a well behaved dog. I have recommended him to friends and am grateful for his help. Thank you David.

David is incredibly talented and professional - he has had a huge impact on increasing our confidence in handling our new puppy, and given us the tools to set us up for success. We have seen an immense difference in our puppy since working with David. He is outstanding at his job - he has so much knowledge and expertise, and takes the time to understand your concerns. I would highly recommend Pawfessionals to anyone.

David has a wonderful knowledge and understanding of dogs and offers advice in a practical, common-sense way. He really wants to help give your dog the best possible quality of life. We have been unable to access puppy classes at this time and David has been very generous in giving us his time and expertise at no expense. Would highly recommend!

I was a very nervous puppy mum. I hadn't had my own fur baby for decades. David put me at ease and taught me and my puppy some very helpful tools for goodbehaviour and a happy dog and mumma into the future. David has so much knowledge and he sets realistic goals in a friendly and professional manner. You can tell he is passionate about dogs and has a beautiful calm Alsatian. I couldn't recommend David's services any higher. Train your dog young. You'll never regret it.

This puppy school is not recommended for several reasons. We have only attended two classes out of four, so it is really impossible to continue. David only accepts cash, and will not refund you if you are not satisfied.First, puppies and their owners are on the board; in his introduction he stated that only two puppies and family are on the board; in fact, six puppies and family are attended. This also leads to your puppy not paying attention at all. He will only give attention and communication to the puppy and owners he likes. When we tried to find answers to our own training questions, his answers were unprofessional, unhelpful and cold.Second, because of the first reason, he can not build up confidence for our puppy, my puppy is very uncomfortable during the classes.Third, the content of the teaching seems to us first-time dog owners to be very crude and will leave you feeling strangely disappointed. There is also a lack of knowledge about the different dog breeds.Fourthly, it is too formalised, which is a bit of a perfunctory feeling. Of course, neither the dog owner nor the dog gains anything.In general, money is not worth it. Spending time to buy disappointment is better than having a wise choice.

Very happy with David’s (The pawfessionals) puppy school. We took our 10-14 week old bull terrier for the 4 week puppy school and it taught us how to best teach and raise a resilient confident and well mannered dog. Sharky is learning to be calm and we will be able to continue our training at home with him. Would recommend to anyone with a new puppy to learn how to teach them. We will be looking at future training with David and the pawfessionals to continue a raise a good dog.

We met David when we attended the puppy pre-school with our Charlie. Since then our dog is going on regular walks with David a couple times a week and Charlie is enjoying it a lot. David is a very knowledgeable and an extremely dedicated person who provided great help with our dogs development. We are very happy with the service provided and would highly recommend it.

Get your puppy in for some puppy classes with David if you can. They are very informative and interactive classes and David does a fantastic job at relaying across information and tips, and will also spend some one on one time with you and your pup should you have any particular areas of concern. My puppy benefited a lot from these classes - I highly reccomend going with The Pawfessionals if you are located in or around Ryde!
