"I couldn't be happier with my experience with WDR. From the moment Suzi entered my home I started to believe I made the right choice. She doesn't use a one size fits all approach to training. She spent time to analyze how my do dog interacted with me, with her and with the environment in which it lives. We then started to work on our training regimen. To start, my dog Penny is a rescue dog. While she has a great personality she also had some issues from her previous home. I have a lengthy (about 2 ft.) I use. Whenever I would bring it out Penny would cower from fear of it. By the time Suzi left she was beginning to accept the shoe horn and within a few days her fear was gone. We also worked on Penny suddenly stopping while on a walk and refusing to budge. Suzi showed me how to overcome that problem. I've been using it for a few days now and that problem, with a few easily corrected exceptions, is now gone. I could go on with other problems we are working on correcting but I feel this gives a good representation of the professionalism and skill Suzi possesses. I recommend WDR without hesitation and can tell you it is one of the best things you can do for your dog...and yourself!"

"Susie quickly assessed my 2 dogs in order to get to the cause and teach me training toward solutions regarding the issues that I had asked her to address. She also has been very generous with her time to respond to my telephone calls about follow-up. Considering that the 2 dogs are very different, I appreciated her individualized approach and understanding of their needs and learning style. As seen in the photo, staying off of furniture was not something we worked on! :-)"

"Nov 24, 2018. Cant thank you enough Susie for the incite and professional competence in training & modifying our Nala's behavior. For working around our last minute schedule change due to unexpected circumstances & traveling from WI to NC. We adopted a 2yr old female German Shepherd who spent most of her time in a kennel & next to no interaction with any other dogs. She had much seperation anxiety, liked to nip & wanted to be the alpha dog with us & any dog she saw. Since the time Susie has spent with her, Nala has been more responsive to our commands, her anxiety level & nipping has decreased & her interaction with other dogs has improved & continues to do so. Even her interaction with our 14yr old cat has improved remarkably. Thank you again Susie for your work with our sweet Nala & educating us in how to bring out the best in her."

"Susie is simply phenomenal when it comes to working with animals! We truly believe she is the dog whisperer. This is the second time we had her come back. She had helped us train our female Akita Phoebe two years ago. Phoebe even after two years still knows all her commands that Susie taught her! It’s simply amazing! Today in just two short hours Susie had our ten week old Akita puppy sitting, doing down, going into his crate and letting us know that he wants to potty outside. Susie was so patient with our puppy Spencer. Never forcing him to do anything. Only positive reinforcements. It’s amazing what a little patience will do in the long run. My husband and I are very happy with the service we received. We highly recommend Susie for all your animal training needs. She is hands down the best!"

"First rate experience! We adopted a rescue that was so full of fear we couldn't come near him. His fear aggression led him to bite at us if we came near his space. Susie came to our home & in one mornings time she had given us the tools to be able to physically handle the dog. After 2 months of having him in our home without being able to come near him, we nearly cried when we could first hold him & pet him. Susie went the extra mile & helped us get our little guy to the vet, went over our food choices with him & taught us how to position ourselves so that we could work with him. We were fearful at first to try the techniques without her. However, with Susie's wise words & training of the humans in the house we powered forward. He is now experiencing the love of human interaction. He has since discovered his love for snuggling, laying in the grass & evening walks. I am simply amazed at the turn around. Susie was paramount in giving this little guy a new life. We are forever grateful! The before & after photos say it all!"
