Susan is amazing! I am learning so much about how to train my puppy properly! Yes there's a ton of information because Susan is so amazingly generous and funny I might add! Very thankful!

I've learned in horse training that we always have to go back to and reinforce the basics to build a solid foundation. Susan refers to her past posts because each of these steps are important parts of a good outcome. Her way of training offers much more than a quick fix to insure solid, lasting behaviors, and tho it takes more effort I believe it's well worth it. For me Susan, you offer a wealth of knowledge, a gift I truly appreciate! My dogs send their love ❤

A huge thanks to you and your team for how well curated your videos are; you do an excellent job of ensuring that each individual video has verbal references and written links to other supporting materials, but what is superlative is when you ask if we would like a more-detailed video focussing on a specific topic, you not only make that video but you come back to the video in which you asked the question and add the forwarding link. A great hallmark of educational excellence 🎉

OMG I am just binging on your content... and a little overwhelmed as to where to start. I have been training both my dogs all wrong, and I'm glad I found your channel because it finally feels right. Thank you... I'm creating a calender now on all the basics and Journaling... thank you sooo much

Firstly, thank you for your amazing work with great dogs and tricky humans, I think we find it much harder to learn and admit our failures than dogs do - but you have persevered and honestly changed the lives of many, me and my dogs for sure! I only discovered your videos about a month ago and my whole outlook has changed. Secondly, every single time I watch any of your videos, I find myself repeatedly saying 'yes! I get it now! That completely makes sense, how come I didn't see it before!' on some amazing treasure of wisdom, and I'll write it down in my notebook. Then ten seconds later I'll do it again, and again, and again, haha. If I was a dog, your videos would be the enrichment to my environment, and clicking on one is a self-delivered cookie! Thank you Susan for all your work ^_^

I love your work Susan. Years ago with my dog I did teach the word wait...and the word stay... My thing was that wait meant I could call the dog from wherever I had asked her to wait. Stay meant to not move ever until I went back and got her. So even I left her in a stay outside a shop didn't matter how many people played with her she wouldn't move until I went out and released her. This meant even if I called her name she wasn't to come until I went back and released her...this meant that in a competition stay...dogs would break their stays jump all over her and she would never budge. This was of course about 40 years ago. I did enjoy Home school the dog course I signed up for...I ended up with a lot of other commitments at the same time ... my focus wasn't as good as I would have wanted. I can't print off the gifts i only have a phone, no computer, but I really enjoy coming here and picking up tips and quite frankly enjoying your humour. Thank you . I listen in often and this evening I had a bit of time to write and say thank you for being. 💞 warmth from my heart to yours. Lynda, Sheba, Bow and Tansy.

I don’t know if you’ll ever see my comment Susan, but I want to thank you SO much for all your videos. I am learning so much & your videos are invaluable as I take my dog to agility classes & your methods & explanations & your whole approach has helped my training so much. Visitors to my home comment on how well behaved my dog is. She is happy & focussed on me & obedient on walks too. I love your warmth as you educate us and your humour 😀. Watching you from Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿. Have told people about you. Thank you! 🤗

Thank you, Susan! I love your videos! Always so helpful and motivating!

Just what I needed. Thanks, Susan.

Awesome as usual Susan you are tops 💝

thanks Susan. loved the episode. I wish i had known about the tug toy witholding game earlier on when i was trying to figure out how to introduce a release word. Our puppy is so wonderful and clever but also very sensitive . When i first tried to teach her a stay with a release word she was so shocked i wasn't saying "good" that she lost her enthusiasm during the session. However she now loves the release word so much she is offering behaviours like stopping before entering the house (which we didn't teach but we love her initiative) and waiting until permission. I have since subscribed to your home schooling program and crate games. I want her to have fun so i am moving very slowly through the games making sure she enjoys them and only sees them as fun . Having said that, although when i taught "stay" i felt a bit guilty as i knew there were better ways just didn't have time to properly explore the alternatives at the time, I find "stay" really useful. Out puppy loved it so much that immediately she responded to it even from a distance, unlike any other command. This "stay" saved us from runs outside our property when gates were open for deliveries and also our cat is very grateful that we can happily freeze our puppy when she is about to run after her. (she has a decent recall too with me btw but not so reliable as the word we picked is overused in our family by peeps without rewards........ i plan to start all over on that with a new word and follow your other program when we are ready for it)

Awesome and amazing pod cast as usual. I love being educated by such a wonderful educator - thanks Susan

Thank you for this explanation of what a "stay" really is, i.e. duration between a command and release. Although I know what it means, it has been hard for me to explain it to my husband, who like me, used the word "stay" with all our previous dogs. This is brilliant! Now, I need to release myself to go train! :)

Thank you for sharing so much of your dog training knowledge with the general public. I am sure the pet dog population appreciates it!

This is helping so much in my classes. Breakthrough

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Your methods are always so informative.

Jimmy is 20 weeks old now. I've been rewarding duration with treats. I haven't trained OUT much yet as still building toy drive with retrieve and tug. I'm confused but want to try because I think Jimmy is too sometimes. He doesn't really know whether to hold or break.

Amazing!! Where have you been all my life? You make sense! Who knew dog training could be so fun and exciting. Thank you Susan. Cheryl and Chloe💞🐾

Thank you Susan
