  • Love this podcast

    As an experienced dog owner, I was confident in my training approaches. That is, until I moved from having Golden Retrievers to chihuahuas. Chis are not what most think - they are sweet, lovable and smart. What they are not is people pleasers. So, I needed new tools and techniques. This podcast has been a wealth of expert information.

  • Too much misinformation and lack of knowledge

    Unfortunately, while there are some points here and there that are correct and factual. But 95% of what is discussed is not factual, studies that are used are horrible done and done without context or training. She has proved over and over again that most of conversations she has very little knowledge and understanding in what she talks about. Super sad.

  • If you have a dog, you’re in the right spot!

    This podcast could change your relationship with your dog. Great episode topics and Susan is an amazing teacher as well as a dog trainer (and those two things don’t always go hand in hand)! This podcast library is an invaluable resource to any dog owner. You will come back to many of these episodes and listen again. Sense with useful information.
