Honestly love this podcast and ANYTIME I hear that someone has a dog (and may need help) I immediately tell them about Susan Garrett and I usually tell them which episodes to listen to. I love that most of the episodes are straight to the point and I also love the YouTube vids. Highly recommend this podcast to any animal lover!! She’s the best!!
I’m not one of those people who just seems to have a way with dogs. I’m completely lost trying to teach them anything. I have a new rescue dog who’s about a year old and very smart. Cunning smart.

Day after day I am learning something new about myself, my flaws as a canine educator, a communicator and a human in general. It is not easy to accept that guilt and blame are part of me and come from my cultural background. It is not easy to dismantle the automatic systems that take over when things go wrong. But Susan is helping me observe them, and it's the first step to growth. I'm sure my canine friends would thank her if they could!
Susan is great and her dog training philosophy is outstanding. She gives a lot of good information in her podcast but her classes have even more information! I am so glad I found her
