We have been attending Susie’s group training sessions with our 2 pups Teddy 15 months and Rocky 9 months. Both our pups are very reactive when out together on walks and we had got to the point of dreading walking both boys together as they would bark and pull on the lead the whole time. Susie has worked wonders with our boys and taught us some new techniques to use to help stop the barking and to help us to understand what causes their behaviour and how we can help them through positive reinforcements. We really look forward to our weekly sessions and can’t thank Susie enough for all her help and advice, we would 100% recommend Susie to anyone looking for some support in their puppy training.

My name is Roger. I am a Border Terrier and I am 15 months old.I absolutely love every human that I meet... especially when they come through my front door. I used to demand all their attention by bouncing around and yapping. But not so much these days because Suzie (Manns Best Friend) came around to see what could be done to help me reign in my behaviour.These days things are different because my humans know exactly what to do to keep me calmer.
Another little trait of mine is reactivity with other dogs. It makes walking me in public 'tricky'. So, every Sunday morning I go to doggy class, where Suzie teaches one of my humans all about my boundaries and helps her to understand the difference between excitement and fear.
My name is Roger, and I am a 'work in progress'... My life and my humans lives are getting much easier... and we all love an easier life.
lots of love and tail wags,Roger x

Susie is Grantham’s very own dog whisperer. Her technique is amazing . Within 3 sessions she has turned our spawn of satan into a little saint :) I can’t recommend Susie enough 10/10 . Ozzy has learnt basic commands as-well as a few tricks . From taking me for a walk to now walking nicely :)

I have only just started with Susie but she has already turned my world around.She is a true professional when it comes to dog training, such an amazing way of working with dogs and gets the results!I already have enormous respect for her and confidence in her professionalism and abilities.I contacted Susie as we are the third owners in our dog’s life and he is only three years old. He had been horribly neglected in the past and I was so worried, anxious and under confident with him but knew I wanted to make him as happy as I could. Even though I have had dogs before I began to doubt myself after being very heavily criticised by a relative. Susie has already made me feel a lot more confident, playing with him and taking him out but best of all l feel like I am now working towards giving my dog his best life and feel we are so much closer 💖💙The best relationship in life,can’t thank you enough Susie.

Susie helped me and my dog Rocky get to where we are now. She helped us towards our public access test and was brilliant working with me as a vulnerable adult with issues of my own. Having Rocky has changed my life hugely and allows me to have some independence and get out into the community again. I wouldn’t be where I am with him without Susie’s support. 10/10 would recommend 🧡🧡🧡

Susie came to see Minnie and I today and got to work straight away. Not judgemental at all, no force used- in fact I was being too forceful and I’m glad I got pulled up on it! Some very useful training tips that I can work on until our next session. Minnie is a 6 month old bullmastiff and growing fast so it’s imperative she is trained well before reaching maturity. I wish I had met Susie sooner! Some of the things Susie told me, I already knew but was struggling to put into practice so it was really helpful that Susie took the leash and demonstrated what she meant. Definitely recommend Susie 🤗

Susie is a fabulous dog trainer, she’s professional, super friendly and her training is very effective on my dog who responds very well to her. I particularly like her after care too as she checks in from time to time to see how things are going which for me, is a godsend as life can get a little busy so it’s nice that Susie is proactive with her follow ups. Highly recommended.
Michael Drake
Susie’s techniques are perfect for my boy. He’s only had two sessions up to now but this has made a huge difference to how he responds to me. Even my neighbours when they see me walking him have commented on the difference in him. Looking forward to more sessions. Thankyou susie, cannot recommend you enough.

Susie came to help with walking our 9 month old, labrador/retriever, on lead. He was becoming too strong and pulling to the extent of us not enjoying our walks. Susie was brilliant ,showing us how to keep him to heel, giving us great confidence to take him out. After one session Ned is walking perfectly on his lead and walks are now enjoyable. Susie gave us lots more training advice in other areas. We recommend Susie 100% for any training help and advice. We will certainly be calling on her again for more advice on having a well trained/ behaved dog.

I have joined group training sessions to work on my pups reactivity to new people and their furry friends. I have noticed a significant improvement in my dogs focus and response to me, which has really helped when taking him out on walks. Susie has given me excellent advice and tips to improve my confidence and experience in dog training. I would highly recommend for anyone looking for support with their reactive dogs.
