Testimonials

Client’s Kind Words

Outstanding dog trainer

Suzy has been invaluable to us with our Bassett hound puppy, serving as both a trusted advisor and an outstanding dog trainer. Her expertise and dedication have significantly enriched our relationship with our furry companion, and we couldn’t be more grateful for her support.

Highly recommended

Suzy really helped us and our sweet pug Bella. Bella is a very friendly and popular little dog, who is generally well behaved and no trouble. However, her excitement at meeting other dogs and people sometimes resulted in too much loud barking, which wasn’t nice for everyone. Suzy gave us a toolkit of techniques which have made Bella a much more focussed dog, who is attentive to us, not other dogs. We understand her better, and she is now almost always the ‘good girl in the park’, with people commenting on her good behaviour!

Amazed by the difference

Had our final session today with Suzy and l’m amazed by the difference in Ripley. We went to her for some help with recall and after three sessions Ripley is a different dog. I can’t recommend Suzy highly enough. Everything she suggested worked. If you’re looking for some help with training don’t hesitate to get in touch with her. Ripley is the most amazing dog but we needed some help to get her recall nailed and actually we have achieved so much more than that in such a short time.

Really helped Us

Really helped us get our 2 year old lab who’d started getting anxious about going for walks, back into the walking habit. Not only gave really good instruction during lessons, but also lots of feedback after the lesson and written summaries of what to keep on doing, which i found really useful as having things written down always helps me stick to them and keep the consistency up.
