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.

A pleasure working with

Suzy approached our problem with a patience and calmness that put us both at ease. She spent time assessing Teddy’s behaviour and formulated a clear training plan to work on over a number of weeks. Suzy’s expert advice has made Teddy a much calmer and happier dog, and both of our lives are much improved as a result. It was a pleasure working with Suzy – she’s a fantastic dog trainer and I can’t thank her enough.

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.

Never been any judgement

We couldn’t recommend Suzy highly enough. She has been incredibly calm, patient and supportive in helping us work through our dog’s reactivity. They’ve given us practical advice and techniques that are easy to understand and, most importantly, have helped us feel much more confident and relaxed when handling challenging situations. There’s never been any judgement – just lots of encouragement, understanding and genuine care for both us and our dog.
