“This podcast has the interesting conundrum of being fantastic for new dog owners because of the good information Susan has to offer but also being bad because of the condescension she gives for any mistakes or misunderstandings a new dog owner would make, along with heavy criticism of any...”Read full review »

“Got so much value from these free resources that I signed up for one of Susan’s smaller trainer classes (Hone School the Dog) and then took the leap to Recallers, which I love. Amazing results with my 3-year old rescue dog.”

This isn’t saying anything bad about the podcast itself, but in a few episodes Susan Garret has said that “dogs don’t understand the past tense.” Okay, but one of the instances in which she backed it up is in an episode where she explained the situation of pooping on the floor, and how...”Read full review »

“I found Susan via a link from the UK’s preeminent dog charity and I feel I have finally come home.
I’ve had dogs all my life but nothing prepared me for the Cockapoo puppy who joined our household during lockdown.
