'We were having great trouble with Ziggy, our boisterous and intelligent puppy Border Collie, while trying to walk him on the lead as he pulled ferociously. I began to dread walk time so decided to enlist the help of Sue of Dogs in Line. It quickly became obvious that she has a great understanding of dogs and their behaviour. After just a few short lessons, not only did Sue help with the pulling, but more importantly she taught us how to let Ziggy know that we were the boss, not him. Now we have a very obedient and aptly submissive dog. He is a pleasure to have around and this is in no small way attributable to Sue. Thank you very much Sue - we really appreciate your help with Ziggy. |

We have a 10 year old Weimaraner and a 5 month old Slovakian rough haired pointer. I had been training the puppy myself and all was well until at about 4 months he started pushing at all of the boundaries. Sue stepped in and made a dramatic difference from her very first visit, giving me and our 3 children simple but effective methods of dealing with the puppy’s boisterous antics. From that day he completely stopped biting. Sue was wonderful with the children and taught our 5 year old how to maintain her authority with Merlin (who had previously decided that she was below him in the pack). She has also stopped Oscar from pulling on the lead, no mean feat after 10 years of practice. All this in only 4 sessions! Jan Owne & family. Hurstpeirpoint. |

Sue really understands dogs, and she helps you to get inside your dog’s mind in a very gentle but clear way. She gives you the tools and the confidence to tackle your dog’s unwanted behaviours, and to make the most of him so that you can have a calm and loving relationship. I was really impressed. My dog is now so much easier now. Cheers for everything Sue. |

Just to let you know how pleased we are with the vast improvement in "Chudleigh's" behaviour since you helped out with his training. |

Name: Jed Age: 3 yrs Breed: Chocolate Labrador |
|
As you well know we were having great difficulties with Jed and were at the point of really considering whether to re-home him. Instantly with my first session with you and going through some doggie psychology I realised that the problems were mainly mine and that I just had to make a commitment to him and understand his behaviour. In just a few lessons Jed was easy to walk and to look after, he now has a respect for the family and is not the dominant male that he thought he was! I also took your advice, placed him on a diet which helped a great deal and he has been castrated. |

We have two very lively, sweet natured puppies, training 2 young dogs at the same time is not easy! We had Dave first and he picked everything up very quickly but when Dizzy arrived 2 months later both their energy levels went up and getting them to walk together calmly so we all enjoyed our walks was hard work. They were like two naughty children winding each other up constantly. Sue showed us how to change this behaviour calmly and how to use gentle corrections on a slip lead to keep them focussed on walking, rather than scenting and picking up every bit of litter in Brighton. Straight away the tactics worked and within a few days they were walking calmly and happily beside me on relaxed leads. Sue also gave us lots of helpful advice on managing two pups at once and how to enable Dizzy to be more confident around other dogs. Sue was a real find for us and I would always go back to her for advice in the future. She has a real understanding of dogs, their needs and behaviours and gives clear and friendly advice and guidance. I cannot recommend her highly enough. Yve Brighton |

I have never owned a dog before and was not sure if I was doing the right thing with Holly now I feel much more confident in walking her, she used to pull so much and jump all over me on walks and in the house. Now thanks to sue I can walk her and let her of the lead and trust her allot more, she still get excited when she see other dogs but I'm am working on that with the advice sue gave me.

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!! |

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 Jan Shoreham |

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.

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. Steve & Christel West Sussex Burgess Hill
