This is just a short note to thank you for the work you have done with Dexter.  Before you took him in hand ( and me ) he was almost out of control, kept biting and annoying the other dog, I know he thought he was playing but it was such hard work. His recall was none existent but now he is a pleasure to have, excellent on the lead, in the park and at home. Thanks a lot, I will be recommending your services to anyone and everyone I meet.

Lots of love and lots of thanks

When we woke up to an eight week old Labrador puppy we realised what responsibility we have taken on. Waking up to two Labrador puppies we realized we needed help. Sue visited us and gave us every confidence that we had two beautiful healthy puppies and was able to give us answers to all our questions no matter how silly. After a further visit from Sue we have every confidence we will be able to train our two dogs to be well behaved, with some help from Sue.

We would like to thank Sue for all the help and advice she has given us in training our Labrador puppy , Connie. Sue has given us the confidence and know how to start teaching and training in a kind but firm way. Now that a couple of weeks have passed since Sue`s last visit we feel in a good position to say the training for us and Connie has proved to be very effective with excellent results . We would highly recommend her training service

My husband and I, and our two young daughters are the very proud owners of two 6 Month old Estrela Mountain dogs, brother and sister named Chewie and Bobba, They are adorable in everyway, but were a nightmare when it came to walking them. We attended the usual village hall puppy classes from as early as 3 months, and had managed to train them to obey many commands, but they would just not walk to heel at all no matter what we tried, and due to their size and strength we were finding it impossible to take them out without almost being pulled over each time! After exploring a couple of other ways of training them, including various leads and harnesses, and becoming very disheartened, and desperate about the situation, I googled dog trainers, and found Sue at Dogs in Line. I explained to Sue our problem and she was able to come and visit our home within days of my call. Our first session was free, which I thought was great, as it really gave me and the pups a chance to get to know Sue, and for Sue to get to see how the pups fitted into our busy family way of life. Within the first session I saw some progress, at least enough to believe in what Sue could do for us. We booked up a following 3 more sessions for the next few weeks, and the progress was staggering. Not only was the progress staggering for seeing how Chewie and Bobba had adapted, but as importantly, it gave me the confidence to believe that I COULD do this, and that the pups weren't going to take me for a walk, but that I could actually be in control and take them for a walk! Sue was so kind and warm towards Chewie and Bobba, it was obvious that she had taken to them, and was keen to train them, so that we could enjoy them to their full potential. I found Sue very approachable and honest in her comments. She was also very supportive of what I had already achieved with our pups, and this was very nice to hear. I have already recommended her to my friends, and would strongly recommend her and her approach to help anyone with a dog problem. I am delighted to say that I can now walk Chewie and Bobba at the same time, on my own, even with a toddler in tow too!!

 

Thank you So much x

We asked Sue for guidance with Jake within weeks of getting him as a puppy. He was all the things you would expect from an untrained young puppy and had a real passion for chewing, mouthing everything as he teethed. He didn't like walking on a lead and used to drag me everywhere, Similarly, we still had the odd toilet training problem and I was beginning to think I had made a bad decision in getting him, as my furniture gradually fell apart.

Sue came and within a couple of hours we felt a huge sense of relief. She trained the whole family and gave us simple guidance which ensured we were all giving the same commands. Even my small daughter wasn't scared he would push her over anymore.

It was a massive relief and very quickly we managed to guide Jake toward being the brilliantly obedient, loving and fun dog which he is today.

Sue is amazing; friendly, approachable and brilliantly experienced. I cannot recommend her highly enough or give her enough praise.

When we first got our dog over a year ago we went to a trainer who was good with dogs but was awful at communicating with the people who came with them – we lasted two group sessions of being shouted at before calling it a day. Sue on the other hand is fantastic with both. She let us find our feet with dealing with Andy’s lead aggression at a pace that allowed us to make mistakes but learn from them through encouragement and practical advice. The result has been a calmer, more secure dog and much happier owners.

Freddie was a rescue at 11months old. He was anxious and aggressive with other dogs. He had a severe hatred for walking near cars, chasing them and jumping at them.
When Sue came and met Freddie, she gave me a small list of situations with what to do in these situations and I practised these in between her visits. It was a slow process with Freddie, but he can now greet dogs normally and play without fear or aggression. And is a lot quieter and more relaxed in the home. He still chases cars but we are still making progress using the advice Sue gave me. I would highly recommend Dogs' in line.

We cannot recommend Sue at Dogs in Line enough. Back in November we called on Sue to help us with our Bulldog puppy Clyde, we had trouble with Clyde chewing everything including my Wife, children and me. We had already tried group puppy classes but had no joy as playing with the other dogs was more appealing to Clyde than behaving and learning.  Even after our initial consultation with Sue's advice we had started to make progress with Clyde. After only 5 sessions with Sue we now have a totally different Clyde who is a joy to live with and a very big part of our family. We no longer have to worry about the children bringing their school friends home.

 

Thank you Sue for your advice and support and we would recommended you to any dog owner who needs a little guidance with their dog no matter what the problem is. Although they need to have a cup of coffee on the go for you to obtain your best results.
