We've been taking our dog to Suzi for about 2 years. Her strategy for dog training is to train your family to act like a wolf pack, you are the master of the dog(not a friend). that may work for some families and may be necessary for some dogs, however she has no understanding or flexibility for family dynamics.
Yesterday she told me I need to control my kids. I asked her not to use the word 'control' bc Id rather teach them, human beings should not be controlled. Rather than telling me she couldn't help me with my dog anymore bc of this, she tried to intimidate me by telling me "if my parents had controlled me as a child i wouldn't have beat so many people up" then she threw a fake punch toward my face and told me to get out and not come back. i don't think i was rude at all and it seemed an odd misunderstanding. she was obviously triggered. our payment for lifetime dog training is now not being honored.
Response: I've never had an issue with your training and I absolutely do listen to your suggestions. I accidently greeted my dog when he came in the room and he got excited, which obviously is not me being the master. My dog has had no change when it comes to being near a stranger and has been kicked out of every other boarder. you were the only one who would take him. what is wrong is that you THREATENED me and then aggressively kicked me out without a rational conversation. you yourself, follow canine psychology quite well. i felt like the runt of the pack. you have no understanding of what it takes to parent a large human family. and if my kids did such a good job listening why are you so angry about me not wanting to control them? the dog is not our number one concern. you were incredibly rude.

Amazing trainer, Suzi is such a life changer for our two mini dachshunds! Cannot recommend her enough! Kind, clear communicator, and above all extremely knowledgable! Thank you!

Suzi is just amazing. My husband and I were so overwhelmed with the littermate Shih Tzu's we added to our family. We quickly realized we needed help, and wow did we find it. Suzi has been able to help us work through and develop a plan to address training issues, basic manners, socialization and safety. She's pragmatic and direct and doesn't hesitate to correct the dogs OR us when there is a misstep.
I know her specialty is generally dogs with more challenging issues than a couple of stubborn dogs that together barely weigh 25 pounds.... but the knowledge we've gained is just invaluable, and these dogs are turning out even better than we had hoped.
Literally cannot say enough good things. We're grateful every day for her guidance and encouragement.
