I can’t say enough great things about Suzanne and the impact she had on my dog! From the very first session, she showed incredible patience, knowledge, and a real love for animals. My dog was struggling with leash pulling, barking, and distractions, but thanks to Suzanne’s guidance and personalized approach, I’ve seen a huge transformation. She did not only train my dog, but taught me how to be a better, more confident owner. Each session was fun, clear, and tailored to our needs. What I appreciated most is how she focused on positive reinforcement and truly understands canine behavior.

Suzanne is a very professional trainer with years of dog training and dog care behind her and it shows!! She is punctual responsive as well as friendly and very easy to talk to and work with She worked wonders with our dog Tank. He was afraid to even go out of the front door and now he rides in the car and we are able to take him on walks We have learned so much from Suzanne and she definitely knows how to make it fun!! I highly suggest her for your dog training needs

Tank was a bit stubborn more afraid to try anything new. Once guided he was fine. Thank you and Tank for such a great review

Suzanne did an excellent job with my chocolate lab. She addressed leash pulling potty and barking with a breeze. I would recommend her services to anyone wanting a well trained dog

Suzanne is a dog genius. From the second she met my dog she was in control and knew what to do. My dog instantly responded to her. Suzanne is very hands on and teaches you as much as the dog. She gives you every step on how to achieve success when she is not there. She is quick to respond and answers questions you may have after she is gone. My new dog is 2 years old and very energetic. This is just a small few things she helped me with in the 5 sessions. She was able to make him stop jumping on the counters and people, sitting and waiting until told not to, not to leash pull and walk by your side. All the basics (sit, stay, come etc) She gave me all the steps to get him house trained and he is doing very well now with that. Most importantly she got him to get along with my father who he was very frightened of for some time now. In one session he was walking with him. Letting him pet him and take treats and even gave him a kiss. She is that good! She has many years of proven experience and I highly recommend her if you are serious about getting your pet trained. My parents will be using her as well soon!

Suzanne was fantastic! She turned out little guy into a better, well behaved puupy within 3 weeks! All of the techniques, commands and behavioral training worked like a charm and we are on the road to making our dog an even better boy. Thank you for everything Suzanne!
