"Hi, just wanted to drop a message and say this app is incredible. I have been doing the foundation courses and for the first time I’ve been able to have someone in the house doing some work and Pablo is just sat at the side of me no barking. This may seem like something small but to me this is a huge achievement and it’s only from using the markers yes and no. I can’t wait to further this training"

 "I wanted to say (again) how much the SH Buddy up platform has changed the way we train and the opportunities it has opened up for extending our training. I have meet ups booked pretty much every week and I’m on the platform every single day. I bet it was really hard work putting it all together and a lot of work to maintain, but we all love it! We talk about the platform on our meet ups and we swap support and advice through messages as well as posts, it’s just such a brilliant ‘thing’ and full of lovely people, I was quite stuck with our training before but I’m loving it now"
