Owners Comment

'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.

Name: Merlin & Oscar   Age: 10yrs 5 months

Breed: Weimaraner & Slovakian rough haired pointer

     

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!
Sue’s knowledge of canine behaviour is second to none and I commend her to anyone with any dog, any age.

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 a few words to say a big thank you for all the help you have given us with Onion.  I have learnt that your consultation is not to train the dog – that is our job.  You train us to train him.  We learnt so much during your consultation which helped us iron a few things out in the home and understand more about what puppies are going through with teething and why they do things.  Your reassurance that we were doing things right and gentle and non-judgemental guidance on how we could do things better has really helped us.  What really has amazed me is how well Onion is now walking to heel after just a few days of adopting your technique – really really great.  Thanks so much Sue and in the nicest possible way, I hope we won’t have to call you again! 

Best wishes
