Specific behaviors to address
Sorry this pro can’t do your job, but we know other pros who can.
Introduction: In order to change a dog's behavior, one must get to the route of why they are doing what they do. This is where my training methods differ from "typical" training being offered by others. I teach my clients to understand their dog's body language and energy. I also teach how dogs interpret our body language and energy. Once everybody's on the same page (canine and humans,) the behavioral issues literally disappear. I am passionate about prevention - that is, preventing a dog from ending up at a shelter in the first place. Watching a dog's behavior change before my eyes is so very rewarding. I know that when the training is done, the dog and their humans will have a new understanding and respect for each other. No dog I have worked with has ever ended up in a shelter!

She taught us how to understand our dogs. I had dogs my whole life and never knew the information that was taught us. We can now actually have all three dogs eat at the same time. It was a great experience. I highly recommend Gray Wolf Dog Training!

Wow is the primary word that comes to mind. We still have a lot of homework to do; however, even just after the first session (mostly training me, not the pup), there is a marked change in my dog's behavior. It is really hard to believe how much you are misinterpreting your dog until you've had a session with this wonderful woman... pretty much everything I thought was cute and rewarded was absolutely horrible dominant behavior, which just spurred my pup's craziness even more! Couldn't be happier and cannot wait to hone these skills and show off at the next session and with our visitors!

As soon as I sat down in this client's house, they let their larger-sized dog in and she immediately ran over to me and put her paws up on my shoulders! Well, HELLO! Haha! Their girl is a very sweet dog, but was a bit crazy and without any manners at all! Although well-intended, her behavior was pretty intrusive! After just one correction, I was able to show the family how to command respect around the things that got their pup the most riled up (food especially.) I warms my heart when I receive a message the day after training telling me that the dog is already being well-mannered! Keep up the great work, guys! You're well on your way to a happy, mannerly pup!

Susan is the East Coast version of 'Ceaser Milan.' I can not believe how quick she trained me to train my Border Collie. Cody was a very active dog who kind of ruled the roost. Susan totally had him obeying her in no time. What's even better is he now listens to me. She is truly a 'Dog Whisperer.'

Cody is an example of what a border collie is supposed to be! He is unbelievably focused, smart, and STUNNING. I love that Bob is completely committed to honoring Cody as a breed and a dog. I wish for you both an amazing connection between animal and man.

We were most impressed with Susan and her dog training techniques! She was, just simply said, "Amazing!" She taught us her techniques which we have implemented with mixed results. However, we created the problem in seven months and its not going to correct itself in a week. The great thing about Susan is that she did offer a pay as you go option. We also were impressed by her power point presentation explaining why our dog was behaving the way she has been behaving. Thank you Susan!

It was my pleasure to work with your family and gorgeous little Abby! She is a bit of a "tough nut" to crack, but she is already giving the pack leader position to you more and more. Keep up the good work! It also helps that you guys are the most patient people on the planet! Lucky Abby!

I'd highly recommend this trainer to anyone and will! My family rescued a 4 month old mix-breed puppy from a shelter and we needed serious help. After thinking that we might have made a mistake and adopted a puppy that was too aggressive for our family, we have learned how to handle our puppy and look forward to enjoying her for many years to come. I cannot express the value of the training that was provided. Regardless of your level of experience with dog training, there was a level of skill provided that by far exceeded my expectations. Our puppy wasn’t just trained, we were also trained how to understand, think like, and know what was needed from us from our dog’s perspective. Our understanding is different now and our approach is so much better. Our dog is so much better behaved and it is absolutely amazing what has been accomplished in such a short time. The training methods utilized are simple to understand and best of all...THEY REALLY WORK!!! I bought eBooks, eVideos, watched countless videos, and read online materials...nothing comes close! I spoke to other dog trainers and was not about to waste money on a bunch of gimmicks that are really designed to take your money and leave you in need of more help down the road. This trainer is skilled and is worth every penny!!! If you want real results, then this is the trainer that you will not regret using!!! I'd give this trainer 10 stars if allowed!!! You will be amazed at the change in your dog and confidence you will feel as the dog’s owner (and new trainer). My puppy went from barely answering to her name to now doing tricks on command, was mostly confined to a small area in the living room to play to playing on the entire first floor, etc. My family is happier and so is my puppy!!! If you want real results, then I recommend this trainer above any other!!! +100% satisfied!!!

Wow-Wee is all I can say about this puppy and her family! Once the puppy's attention was focused, it was easy to see just how wicked smart she is! This lovely family just needed to know how to reign their little Princess in so that she could calm down and learn...and learn she did! This family has the perfect energy for dog training and I can't wait to meet with them again to see just how much they have been able to teach their little girl! You guys ROCK! Thanks for making my job easier!
