"Since you visited us, Evie has come on leaps and bounds. There is so much improvement in her behaviour, there are too many things to mention. Not only do the techniques you have shown us for recall, jumping up, mouthing etc... work, you have helped us all as a family understand how to live with Evie and what we can expect from her. This has made for a much more relaxed household and family life. Evie is now part of our family and we look forward to her growing up with our children. Many many thanks Sue, we truly believe if we hadn't taken up your services, Evie would probably have been heading back to the RSPCA. Many many thanks

Trevor, Kirsten, Anna, Ben and of course Evie."

2nd April 2008

Hi Sue,
After telephoning lots of 'behavourists' and dog trainers and getting negative replies, I'm so glad that you could come to our house and help us with Bruce, our Westie who was jealous of our baby and was showing us aggressive behaviour. Thanks for all your help. We have put all your training into place and he has responded really well. We have even bought a crate which you recommended and he's getting used to it slowly but surely. I really feel positive that we can now help Bruce to not feel threatened or nervous having a baby in the house, and to feel more secure by knowing his place in the pack. All your other tips have been priceless especially how to stop his constant barking. Its nice to be able to go outside and have him sit and be calm for once! Thanks again, we will certainly recommend you to other dog owners who are having problems. We will keep you informed of how Bruce is getting on.
Lisa, Notts.

Fudge

Knowing we couldn’t have children, me and my partner decided we would buy a puppy, so we bought a chocolate Labrador whom we called Fudge.......

We can now see what we were doing wrong, and how to correct him.

The Result, Happy Dog and Happy Owners! Well worth the small investment in time and money!

Thanks Sue !

I feel very privileged to be able to share in the lives of my Clients and their dogs and even though I spend such a relatively short time with them, they all take a little bit of my heart. And so it is extremely distressing when I hear sad news of the loss of one of these special pets. No more so then the latter end of 2007 when my Client Aileen, told me her beloved Kacey, a beautiful shiny black Staffy X Boxer escaped out of the front door and got hit by a car, even through her grief Aileen very kindly sent me these words....

"Hi I WOULD LIKE TO THANK SUE FOR ALL HER HELP AND ADVICE WITH MY LATE DOG KACEY I only had my lovely dog for a few weeks before she got knocked down and killed but the training that Sue had taught me had been a great help thank you Sue" 31/12/07

Kacey

Another heartbreak I had was from a lovely family who I went to see for a new puppy visit with 11 week old Dexter in September 2007. Dexter was the most adorable chunky chocolate labrador, he couldn't have wished for a more loving,caring and responsible family, sadly Dexter contracted Parvo at the beginning of December which tragically ended his short life, the family are devastated but have lots of wonderful memories of him. God Bless!

Rainbow Bridge

This is what my client Leanne kindly said about me. Sadly she lost Simba this year when he tragically got hit by a car after escaping from the garden of a friend who was caring for him while Leanne was away.

Elaine, is extremely disabled with rhumatoid artheritis, she called me to help with Millie and Poppy, she was relying on her son in law to take them for their walks. We taught them how to walk with Elaine on her mobility scooter, when she is feeling well she loves to take them for long walks.

Dear Sue,

Thank you very much for my homework and the other information. After only two days I see an improvement , its hard work but rewarding. Looking forward to seeing you again soon.

Hi Sue,

Thanks for the much appreciated advice on introducing Badger and Milly. So far so good, the cage is working as she regards this as her bed. She slept all night in the cage without a whimper unlike the previous night when we didn`t get any sleep because she wanted to be upstairs on the bed! Walking together is fine Badger ignores her completely is this a good thing? Ants had them in the room together with the help of annie holding one dog each and again Badger looked the other way and Milly barked at him.

The first walk together Milly chased badger all over the fields playfully and we thought great, but he had a scuffle with her in the garden and now he ignores her and she is a little wary of him. The kids adore Milly she has settled already, has a great personality loves walking I just hope Badger accepts her.

Once again thankyou we wouldn`t have had the confidence to take on this responsability without your expert advice.

Hi Sue Thank you for your comments. It has been a real eye opener since your first visit and Bruces behavior
and our understanding has improved no end. As you are aware Roses recent problems has meant she has found it difficult to assert her authority generally (not just with Bruce} and her confidence was at an all time low. However since you have given her some of the tools to deal with Bruce her confidence is noticibly improved. The suggestions with regard to the tether for visitors and the whistle are great. Despite Bruces foibles we are very fond of him and fully appreciate that his "quirks" are of our creation. Of course we would be more than happy to contribute to your site and and look forward to seeing it.

Regards

Andy & Rose 2007

I hope you get this e-mail. I've never even seen one sent before, never mind trying it myself ! The dogs are now exercised at least once a day and diet is going well. We're being very strict.They both like the Burns food but they don't stock it in the shops I go to. I tried them on James Wellbeloved food which has similar ingredients and they don't seem to mind that. dogs seem a little calmer now.

Thanks for your help. Anne & Stan. Jack & Maisie 2007

Got your email ok this time really pleased we got in touch with you, your visit did teach us a lot and we will be keeping in touch to let you know our progress
thanks Barry Lisa and family (Brin)

Gill and I were pleased to have used your expertise and Holly has really benefited from your involvement. We, too, have learned a lot from watching and being with you. We are pleased that we worked with you and would be more than happy to recommend your services.
Phil Midgley 2008

Sue, many apologies for not being in touch. Gill and I hope that everything is going well with your business. I am glad that our recommendation turned out well for you.

Attached are some photos of Holly. She really hates having her photo taken and hides from the camera. She is doing very well and very much part of the family. She is a lovely dog with a wonderful personality. She is very obedient - apart from still pulling somewhat on the lead. What is nice is that she is invited to friends who make her feel welcome because she is no trouble.

Holly's mother is expecting (hopefully) and we will be getting another one from the litter - different father.

Please feel free to drop round and see us and Holly.We're sure that you will be proud of your efforts.
