Wind Dancer Referrals, LLC

We have a 3 year old border collie mix that we rescued as a puppy. She has been showing aggressive behavior since we first got her. She is very protective of my family members and will snap at those who she feels are a threat. Foolishly thinking the problem would go away on its own we never truly addressed our dogs behavior and as she got older it became worse and worse. She had bit our neighbors, brother in law, and grandmother. We were at the point where we believed her behavior would never change and our only option was to give her away. When I first reached out to Susie she was very responsive in getting back to me and put me at ease just with our initial phone call. She isn't out to overcharge you with her rates and is very transparent with her prices. Susie wants to make an actual difference in the homes she visits and went above and beyond in her evaluation with us. She left us with the knowledge and tools we needed to work towards changing our dogs behavior. We immediately saw positive changes and have not had an incident with her since. Highly recommend Susie & Wind Dance Referrals!

We have a 22 month old Germab Shepherd named Heidi who is incredibly sweet but would rule the house when my husband wasn't home. She was a true alpha. She would bark uncontrollably both inside and outside. She would jump on anyone who would walk through the door. We didn't know how to get a handle on her behavioral issues, until Susie. Susie is a wealth of knowledge. From education on nutrition and the do's and don'ts of ingredients to different training techniques, we could not believe what a difference she made in just a few short hours. She is truly passionate about what she does and has a true love for animals and improving their well being as well as ours. Since our session she has followed up multiple times to ensure we are comfortable implementing and following through with what she has taught us. She is now a part of her family and would reccomend her time and time again. We are so grateful Susie had come into our lives and can't wait to see her again.

We adopted two dogs from a local rescue. One in September of 2017 and another in January of 2018. We became concerned when our younger dog, Otis, began to display aggressive behavior towards other dogs (other than his sister). We typically would walk daily, which became something we were unable to do because of Otis’ unpredictable and new dog-aggressive behavior. We decided to hire an expert, a specialist, someone who knew dog behavior, not simply a “trainer”. When Susie met our dogs, it didn’t take long for her to declare that Otis wasn’t “aggressive”, he was scared. She worked with both dogs to make sure she had all the information she needed, went through some behavior modifications for both dogs and even addressed some of the more “minor” behaviors that we were seeing. We had homework to do and we were instructed to call after 48 hours to check in. We did, and Susie had some adjustments to the training homework and we met again the following week. When she returned, the difference was visible. She not only worked with the dogs, she worked with us, the humans, to make sure we all knew what it was going to take to recondition Otis’ fear-based behavior. She is thorough, kind, firm and clearly has a gift for reading behaviors and finding the proper strategies for training. We feel blessed to have found her!

Follow up to our review previously about Wrangler the lab mix puppy. Because of Susie Wrangler has done a complete 180 in just a few short weeks. Previously we couldn’t even be around Wrangler while he was eating and now we can pet him while he is eating. It is truly remarkable what Susie has done for our family. We will continue training with Susie. She has now become a part of our family and are so blessed to have met her. She has changed our lives and Wrangler’s for the better.

Susie was a miracle worker! My wife and I own a 3 year old pitbull and just recently got a 4 month old pitbull lab mix. What started out as great playful friendship turned into a nightmare in a few weeks. Everyday they began to fight more and more, sometimes 6 fights a day. We tried everything we read online, but nothing worked. We took a shot and hired Susie, she cared for us and our pets. She totally changed our lives in 1 visit. She taught our new puppy sit, wait, down, off and how to wait for his food. She did not just teach them, but also taught us how to carry out the training that she instilled. Our dogs now sleep in the same dog bed and get along all day without incident. She stopped the constant fear that plagued our household. I could not recommend Susie more.
