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!

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!

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!

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.'
Gray Wolf Dog Training's reply
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!

Susan was great! The dogs really seemed to respond to her methods of training and I could see the result instantly. Her presentation was awesome too. Learning how dogs communicate is a very important part of training your dog and showing them that you are the pack leader. Overall I think Susan did a great job and I can't wait to have her back again to learn more! Thank you!

I knew you would embrace this type of training after speaking with you for only a few minutes! You found the right energy, which is the hardest part. Of course I knew the dogs would "get it." The dogs always get it. Ha!
